These launch in addition to the 156 previous presets and are spread across four plugins: 10 new procedures in Color Efex Pro, Silver Efex Pro and Analog Efex Pro with the final 12 being added to HDR Efex Pro. įirst up, there are more than 40 new ‘En Vogue’ presets to plough through, all of which promise to allow users to create individual images with just one click.

These have all been developed on the back of requests from genuine Nik Software users, in fact, DxO requested feedback from over 65,000 users, so we’re confident that the updates are valid. There are four main new features to address within the new ‘Nik Collection 2’ from DxO, ‘En Vogue’ presets, DxO PhotoLab integration, freedom from Adobe software and HiDPI support in Windows.

Now, after a great deal of work and major development, the software’s new major update is finally here for us all to get our teeth in to and, interestingly, is no longer tied exclusively with Adobe products. This was a promise that stood true as the DxO team got to work and began offering customer support in 2018, making the Nik Collection a paid package once more. It was then that the French photo company DxO jumped in to snap up the software, promising to continue with development to the popular software. For the purposes of C1 users, we are in effect using the Nik Collection in standalone mode I believe.After a turbulent period of ownership switches, Nik Collection 2 has been unveiled with a major update to the popular plugin collection for Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, and Photoshop Elements.Īfter obtaining the Nik Collection, along with its Snapseed app in 2012, making the previously paid-for bundle cost-free back in 2016, Google stated that it would abandon the software just a year later, in 2017. It only works with one plugin at a time (you can't go to Silver Efex then Color Efex then back to Silver Efex, probably with good reason.) You can clone your version in C1 and open the second version in Nik, but any adjustments made are applied to both versions when you return to C1. Tweak away, save the file again (again with that check box ticked) and you're done. (You must choose 'Open with' or C1 will send a new TIF file to Nik without the previous edits embedded in the file.) In the Nik plugin, you'll see your previous adjustments available for further tweaking.
(The non-destructive feature only works with TIF files). If it's a raw or jpg file, go to Image > Edit with, choose the Nik plugin you want to work with and choose TIF as the export format. The workflow, for anyone interested, is this:

No need to do that anymore, which makes it worth the upgrade price. I used to make adjustments in Nik and save those adjustments as a recipe so that I could reapply those adjustments to a new C1 version if I needed to. This makes the upgrade worth it in my book. I decided to test this myself by downloading the trial and yes, indeed it works as you say Jon-Nolan.
