What is Nik Collection by DxO?
Nik Collection by DxO This is a suite of image editing plugins that combines various tools into a single package. It can be used for color, black and white, film effects, noise reduction, sharpening, selective adjustment, and HDR, without needing to install separate plugins from different developers. Key tools like Color Efex are for adjusting tone and layering filters, Silver Efex focuses on black and white images, Analog Efex creates a vintage camera and film look, and Viveza is for adjusting color and light specifically in areas without needing to create complex masks from scratch.
The heart of this suite is U Point, which allows you to place Control Points or Control Lines on the desired area and choose how broad the adjustment will be based on the color and brightness of that area. The new version adds more precise control over Luminance and Chrominance, and allows you to save Control Points as presets for reuse on other images. This eliminates the need to restart settings for frequently repetitive tasks on every image. Furthermore, you can categorize Presets and Filters, select your favorites, and layer multiple filters with their respective orders to experiment with different tones.
Nik Collection is available as a plugin for Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, and other supported host programs, with some tools also usable as standalone. Version 9 improves integration with Photoshop, including a built-in palette, converting layers to Smart Objects, and faster access to Photoshop presets. The Analog Efex suite includes Glass Effect and Chromatic Shift, while the Color Efex suite adds Halation and more flexible blending modes for effect mixing. A key advantage is that each tool has a clearly defined function; whether you want minor adjustments or extensive editing, you can simply enable the tools you need.
