Yes, the original free version is a dated version, that's what DxO stated on their website.īut for those of us who can still use it, really cannot beat the value of this "free" version. More, tools for the year 2000, and less, tools for 2020. Within a couple weeks of usage, I received the on-screen notification when launching the software. Nik Collection 4.0 was announced recently but comments here say that if you have a previous version it always shows an update warning that can’t be turned off. If you purchased the Nik Collection in 2016, you will receive a full refund, which we’ll automatically issue back to you in the coming days. After the sunset, edited in Silver Efex Pro 2. The net result, in my eyes, is that NIK tools seem a bit dated. Starting March 24, 2016, the latest Nik Collection will be freely available to download: Analog Efex Pro, Color Efex Pro, Silver Efex Pro, Viveza, HDR Efex Pro, Sharpener Pro and Dfine. And the Topaz plugin tools seem to work with pretty much everything, not just Photoshop.
(I know, Topaz seems to be having some QC issues lately, but that doesn't negate the brilliance of the overall technology).
And Topaz's selective masking, along with the whole "AI" concept for sharpening and Noise control are significant improvements in those fields. And as a result, I find other software more compatible with my workflow.Ĭertainly, ACDSee's Light EQ and Pixel Targeting are major improvements in lighting control and color masking. Six applications offer you different features that together will make your images look practically professional. It's not a "BAD" product, but over the years, the other software publishers have sought new ways to do those unique things that NIK did so well, and improve upon those old things that all software does. Nik Collection is a great suite of tools to give your photographs a unique touch by applying filters and effects with personality.
