Overview

Nik Collection version 5 includes significant improvements to Color Efex and Analog Efex, as well as enhanced local adjustment technologies and a more intuitive user interface. The latest version of the well-known suite of eight plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop® and Lightroom Classic® includes a fresh new haze reduction tool as well as 29 color film grains that are faithfully replicated. 

This desktop graphics suite was previously a premium service, but is now available as freeware. You may use it to bring out every part of your images without breaking the bank, including establishing moods, repairing flaws, improving colors, and much more. 

In no way would I consider myself a photographer, but as the testing went, I discovered that this is incredibly simple to use and comprehend - some of the photographs I was experimenting with actually looked very decent, so think what a genuine photographer could do. Any option you choose includes a thumbnail example of the effect rendered for reference, eliminating the guesswork and allowing you to focus on producing. 

Nik Collection includes 7 desktop plug-ins that provide an unparalleled range of photo editing capabilities, including multiple filter applications for improving color correction, image sharpening for bringing out details that may be too subtle, many retouching and creative effects, and the ability to make on-the-spot color and tonality adjustments to any image. Given that it is now free, it is worth a try. 

Seven excellent plug-ins can let you create gorgeous photographs faster.
