Google Nik Collection is a grand suite of tools that will add a different touch to your photos by adding filters and bold effects that give your photos more character. Several different applications offer a wide variety of functions that when combined together, will make your images look professional. This toolkit is integrated into a range of Adobe Photoshop plug-ins that you can use directly from your filter tab. Nik Collection provides tons of different options so you can add an almost infinite number of effects. The first block, Analog Efex Pro, contains nine new filters that will make your photos look like they were taken from a classic analog camera.

All you'll need to do is select one of them and apply them to your image. You'll also have the chance to add on more layers of 'dirt and scratches', vignettes, as well as film filters to make your pictures look more realistically antique. Color Efex Pro is another secondary function in this pack that allows you to choose 55 different effects in which you'll be able to establish control points in order to make different elements more visible. Take a look at Dfine, which allows you to adjust contrast and reduce visual noise from other colors separately, that way you can enhance your photos while preventing them from looking too grainy. HDR Efex Pro allows you to create HDR photos by combining different characteristics of this effect along with modifying tonality, tone compression, and color.

This option recovers lost enhancements, reduces shadowing, and adjusts photo tonality to achieve a natural looking, high photo quality for perfectly balanced shots. With Sharpener Pro, you'll be able to make your photos look crisper and sharper by defining the control point for each file. Another great feature in this filter toolbox is Silver Efex Pro, which is a section that contains 38 different black and white and sepia filters that will give your pictures a more modern or classic look depending on your needs. Finally, saving the best for last is Viveza, which is a function that offers different control marks like shine, contrast, saturation, shadowing, RGB range that all come together to enhance your photo quality to get an intense, richly colored image.

Google Nik Collection provides a simple way of fine-tuning images and photographers and designers will find it essential for their everyday use. Features Google Nik Collection has a variety of features each providing a special effect to apply on your images. They include;. Color Effex Pro –This is a comprehensive set of filters that are useful in retouching, applying creative effects, and color correction. Analog Efex Pro –Gives your photos a classic camera, film, or lenses look.

HDR Efex Pro –Enables you to create HDR images from a single picture or a sequence of photos. Sharpener Pro –Sharpens photos to bring out hidden details.

Dfine –Helps in reducing noise in images. Pros Simple workspace If you have used Topaz plugins before, you’ll notice that Google Nik Collection has a similar interface. All the effects are properly arranged for easy access. On the top right side, you’ll find options to preview the modified options –you can either preview them side by side with the original image or view the new image only. Lots of features You’ll enjoy plenty of features that this software collection offer. Each software opens a dialog with a variety of filters and even more sub-options below the main filters. The sub-features are unique and will give you more control on the details of the images.

You can use the sliders to create your preferred balance or use the preset effects to bring out a desirable look and feel. Better image sharpening tool Although Photoshop comes with an image sharpening tool, it is way below the quality that you’ll get by using Nik Sharpener Pro.

In fact you’ll be surprised to see that most of the images you thought were sharp on the Photoshop sharpener can be made even better. Easy to use control points If you are not already familiar with control points, they are the little icons on the Nik UI that you use to indicate the area of a photo you would like to work on. Clicking on the icons brings a menu with lots of options for more controls.

A new way to mask ‘Masking’ is usually complex for beginners in Photoshop. If you are still facing problems, then the Google Nik Collection is a perfect solution since control points allow you to complete any process without masks. Dropping the control points is way easier compared to masks. Conclusion Google Nik Collection works excellently as advertised. It is the best plugin you can get for Photoshop, Aperture, and Lightroom.

Definitely, worth downloading.
