This is one of the most comprehensive plug-in suites ever created, and with frequent updates, it\u2019s easy to see why the Nik Collection is once again growing in functionality and indeed popularity.<\/p>\n<p>Nik Collection 4 includes eight individual plug-ins covering a range of popular editing tasks and provides easy-to-achieve effects: Define 2 is used for noise reduction; Viveza 3 is for adjusting colour and tonality; Perspective Efex can be used to adjust lens and perspective distortion; HDR Efex Pro 2 allows you to create HDR images from bracketed and single shots; Analog Efex Pro 2 offers classic film and camera effects; Color Efex Pro 4 provides colour filters and other creative effects; Silver Efex Pro 3 offers powerful control over black &amp; white conversions; while Sharpener Pro 3 is for sharpening images.<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"152841 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/1-New-Silver-Efex-interface.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/>\n<h3>Photographer-designed Viveza 3 presets<\/h3>\n<p>Viveza features ten new native presets designed by professional photographers and are mostly one-click corrective or quick fix effects, although there are presets for sharpening eyes and softening skin in portraits. When you consider the number of presets that are available in other plug-ins within the collection, ten is an extremely small number so it would be most welcome to see more presets added in future updates.<\/p>\n<p>The presets can be used as a starting point for adjusting effects manually or you can begin with the default Neutral preset that leaves the image untouched for full manual editing. You can also create your own custom presets and import presets made by other people, so there\u2019s plenty of room to customise Viveza to your requirements.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"152842 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/2-Viveza-3-10-presets.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/>\n<h3>New user interface for Silver Efex and Viveza<\/h3>\n<p>The user interfaces of Viveza and Silver Efex have been completely redesigned with a new look that\u2019s more in keeping with other DxO software and provides a much clearer and more modern interface to work with. Surprisingly though, all the other plug-ins within the collection still use the old Nik Collection interface which is looking quite dated these days, except for Perspective Efex that looks nothing like either.<\/p>\n<p>So there\u2019s a real lack of consistency when moving from one plug-in to the next. It\u2019s likely that the rest of the Nik Collection will be redesigned over time, but it\u2019s a shame that all the plug-ins weren\u2019t updated at the same time for a seamless look and inclusive feel rather than creating the feeling you\u2019re using unrelated plug-ins.<\/p>\n<h3>An improved workflow<\/h3>\n<p>The workflow between Nik Collection and Lightroom Classic has been improved with the Last Edit function in Photoshop now also available in Lightroom. Then there\u2019s the new Smart Copy &amp; Paste feature that\u2019s been incorporated into Lightroom\u2019s Export dialogue so you can apply Nik Collection effects to other images.<\/p>\n<p>If working with a TIFF file you can enjoy non-destructive editing with this feature, although it\u2019s always best to edit a copy of the original TIFF because the Nik Collection will flatten any Layers you have in place already.<\/p>\n<p>It would be better if the effect was added to a new merged Layer at the top of the stack like in Photoshop when a plug-in effect is applied, but it\u2019s understandable why this isn\u2019t possible in Lightroom. The whole process could be made to be more intuitive, but with time you do get used to how it works.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"152843 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4-ClearView-technology-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/>\n<h3>ClearView technology available in Silver Efex<\/h3>\n<p>Another new feature in Silver Efex is ClearView technology from DxO PhotoLab. This control removes haze and accentuates edges, details and transitions to improve clarity in images, and it certainly works well within Silver Efex.In the image to the left, the left section is the Neutral black &amp; white preset with no adjustments made and the right side of the image shows how ClearView set to 75 out of 100 affects the image.<\/p>\n<p>This shot was taken on a misty morning so there\u2019s a distinct lack of clarity that has been effectively fixed with natural-looking results. This, of course, means that you can only use ClearView with black &amp; white images, so it\u2019s curious that the control wasn\u2019t also included in Viveza for use with colour images.<\/p>\n<h3>Meta-presets for instant results<\/h3>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"152848 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Meta-preset-Soft-_-Dramatic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" \/>\n<p>Meta-presets are a new type of filter that combines the effects from different plug-ins to achieve a one-click result. Meta-presets are accessed via the Nik Selective Tool that integrates almost seamlessly with the Photoshop interface when set to the default dark grey.<br \/>\nThere are ten presets in total, which isn\u2019t many, and whether or not they\u2019re to your taste is another matter.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"152847 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Meta-preset-Purple-Haze.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" \/>\n<p>What would perhaps be a great option on DxO\u2019s part would be to create more Meta-presets that users can download and install directly from the DxO website so they can choose the effects they\u2019re most likely to use. One major drawback is that there\u2019s no visual preview of effects, just a crude description when you hover the mouse pointer over the question mark next to Meta-preset names, so you have to run the Meta-presets to see what they are, and they\u2019re quite slow to be applied.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"152846 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Meta-preset-Expired-Film.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"152845 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Meta-preset-Dry-Plate.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"900\" \/>\n<h3>39 new and film-style grains in Silver Efex<\/h3>\n<p>As you\u2019ll have noticed as you\u2019ve read through the new features listed here, it\u2019s Silver Efex that has seen the most improvements in this version of the Nik Collection. This is not surprising considering that it\u2019s arguably the most popular plug-in in the collection.<\/p>\n<p>Within Silver Efex, there are now 39 realistic film-style grains that mimic the grain patterns of popular black &amp; white films for an authentic analogue look.<\/p>\n<p>These, like most other presets, can be used exclusively or used as a starting point for further manual editing. The results are much better than applying grain in Lightroom or Adobe Camera Raw, and even the higher ISO film simulations help to give black &amp; white images a sense of depth you generally don\u2019t get with digital images.<\/p>\n<p>The image used here was Ilford Delta 3200 and the grain is much more subtle than you\u2019d get with real film so increasing grain size would be necessary for an even more authentic result.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"153012 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/MicrosoftTeams-image.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/>\n\n<h3>Improvements to U Point technology<\/h3>\n<p>Localised adjustments have long been a part of the Nik Collection, and the mask-free U Point technology that powers these easy-to-use Control Points for localised adjustments have seen a welcome upgrade in Nik Collection 4. The Control Points now feature fewer controls within the point itself, with controls for adjustments now housed on the main control panel on the right.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, the name of Control Points can be changed to make selecting the correct point easier. Other new features within this area include a Colour Tolerance setting that provides saturation control over specific tonal ranges so you can select colours to work with as well as the tolerance to allow similar hues to be included in adjustments. More control is always a good thing and these upgrades to Control Points certainly achieve that end.<\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"152850 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7-Improvements-to-U-Point-technology.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/>\n<h3>Verdict<\/h3>\n<p>Nik Collection 4 by DxO remains <strong>the best Photoshop and Lightroom plug-in suite<\/strong> available by a long shot, but while there have been many welcome improvements in this and previous versions of the software, there\u2019s now a serious lack of consistency in terms of functionality and the user interface used in the individual plug-ins \u2013 five of the plug-ins are in serious need of being updated.<\/p>\n<p>That said, if you intend to purchase Nik Collection 4 then you certainly won\u2019t be disappointed if it\u2019s a first-time purchase. However, for those running Nik Collection 3 there may not be quite enough new features to make the upgrade worthwhile so it could well be worth waiting for the next update to see what\u2019s included.<\/p>\n<p>Nik Collection 4 costs \u00a3133 for the full version or \u00a369 to upgrade so it\u2019s well priced considering what\u2019s included in the collection. The plug-in suite is also available with a fully functional 30-day free trial period, so whether you\u2019re buying for the first time or considering an upgrade, you can test out the latest version before committing.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Further reading<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/other.kelsey.host\/amateurphotographer\/latest\/photo-news\/photoshop-cruiseship-lockdown-138482\"
