It then gives you the option to save your edits into that TIFF. To work with raw files non-destructively, Nik Collection duplicates your raw file but as a TIFF file. In Lightroom, you simply right-click an image, choose “Edit In”, and then select the plugin you’d like to use from a list.
(I’ve not had a chance to test the integration with Capture One, but I understand that it is similar to Lightroom but requires a slightly different process to set it up.) There are eight plugins, all of which are accessible either via Lightroom or Photoshop.

Nik Collection 3 is perfect for relative beginners who want some simple, one-click (almost) editing options to create striking effects, but is also useful for experienced photographers - Silver Efex Pro 2 in particular - who want to create distinctive edits with minimal effort. Many of the filters can be refined, and some can even be “stacked” on top of one another to create something truly unique. You can apply filters to create gorgeous, vintage-style edits, add light leaks, tweak contrast, create borders, change perspective, add sharpening, stack HDR, make local adjustments - and more. The remaining four replicate some of Lightroom’s functionality - for example, sharpening, HDR, and noise reduction - but adding a few extra touches and can be useful. (There’s also a little bit of overlap between a few of them, and some of the plugins are more useful than others.)įour of the eight plugins are geared towards creative editing and are probably worth the money on their own: Color Efex Pro 2, Analog Efex Pro 2, Silver Efex Pro 2, and Perspective Efex. Trying to describe everything that’s possible with Nik Collection 3 is a challenge, since even within one of the eight individual plugins that are bundled together, there is a vast array of possibilities. To celebrate their 25th anniversary, Version 3.3 also adds 25 new presets for Color Efex Pro and Silver Efex Pro. This means that you can return to an image at a later date and tweak your edits - something that’s not usually possible with these types of plugins. This latest version also brings one significant improvement: many of your changes can now be achieved non-destructively.

You can download Google Nik Collection for free here.DxO Nik Collection has been around for a few years, having been through various owners and permutations and now maturing into a bundle of plugins and presets that work fairly seamlessly in both Lightroom and Photoshop, and can also be accessed via CaptureOne. The company does say in its Google+ post that it is continuing to focus on building photo editing tools like Snapseed and Google Photos for mobile, so there's a chance that the Nik Collection may stop receiving support and updates now it's free. "We're excited to bring the powerful photo editing tools once only used by professionals to even more people now," said Google. Sadly, anyone who bought the suite in 2015 or earlier won't be getting their money back, which is pretty upsetting for those who paid $149 just four months ago.

It's free to download for Windows and Mac, and provides "a powerful range of photo editing capabilities - from filter applications that improve color correction, to retouching and creative effects, to image sharpening that brings out all the hidden details, to the ability to make adjustments to the color and tonality of images," according to a statement from Google.Īnyone who purchased the Nik Collection in 2016 will automatically receive a full refund in the coming days, presumably via the same method used to buy it. The collection includes Analog Efex Pro, Color Efex Pro, Silver Efex Pro, Viveza, HDR Efex Pro, Sharpener Pro and Dfine. Now, the price has dropped even more, right down to zero. The acquisition was primarily so Google could get its hands on popular photo app Snapseed, but the company also reduced the cost of Nik's collection of seven plug-ins from $499 to $149.

Back in 2012, Google purchased German company Nik Software, the firm behind a series of photo editing plug-ins designed for amateur and professional photographers.
