Let’s quickly summarise the plugins included in Nik Collection 4. This plugin simulates the look of vintage cameras, film, and lenses. It adds film photo effects like light leaks, scratches, motion blurs, and double exposures. This plugin is a popular colour editing tool.
Filters cover basic exposure adjustments but go further with adjustments like Detail Extractor, Glamour Glow, Reflector Efex, a Foliage enhancer. Dfineĭfine is Nik’s noise reduction program for low-light, high-ISO images. HDR Efex Pro combines bracketed images or simulates the look of HDR with one image. Sharpener Pro Raw Presharpening and Sharpener Pro Output Sharpening You can control how the images combine in terms of tonality, colour, depth, and detail. Presharpening enhances the detail of an image. Output Sharpening sharpens the image for printing. This plugin is a popular black and white conversion program. Like Color Efex Pro, filters let you selectively change the look of your image.
You can adjust structure, film grain, tonality, and tone colour. Viveza is another colour enhancement program. It emphasizes localized adjustments using Control Points. You can globally change colours or select an area for enhancement. The newest addition to the Nik line-up is Perspective Efex. It was launched in 2020 with Nik Collection 3. It automatically adjusts known lens-specific distortions, or you can manually alter geometric distortions. Color Efex Pro 4 creates pops of colour in the dunes and deepens the blues of the sky. This popular suite of photo editing plugins has a history. Nik plugins have been around since the late 1990s. They were developed by Nik Software, which also developed Snapseed, a popular mobile phone editing app. They reduced the price of the Nik Collection to $150 (from $500). This made it much more accessible to the casual photographer and increased its popularity. They also added the powerful Analog Efex Pro plugin to the collection. This was great for photographers! But many thought the free status signalled the end to Google’s interest in the product. The Nik Collection was about to fade into the history books. I created this multi-lens image in Nik’s Analog Efex Pro 2 using film and photo plate tools.Įnter DxO, a company with a history of developing photo editing tools. They bought the software in 2017 and reinstated Google’s price.
