The update to the Selective Tool is by itself worth the price of admission. DxO said the Message Center will provide product news, special offers and events while promoting educational content like webinars and tutorials, collecting customer feedback through DxO surveys, and displaying news about the photography industry through links to DxO's social networks. It wasn't active for us but DxO has included the ability for the tool to phone home for information or help. To add a recent filter or recipe to the tool, you just have to mark it as favorite in the Nik tool by clicking on the star icon below the effect. When the process has finished, the image is displayed with the edit layer visible. With the option set to apply the effect in Photoshop, a small window with a progress bar is discretely displayed in the bottom left corner of the screen showing you what's going on behind the scene as the image data is manipulated. It remembers the last edit you performed with each tool and presents it on a button, so you just have to click the button to either apply the affect directly in Photoshop or tell the Nik tool to apply the effect for further editing in the Nik tool.
But it does more that collapse or load a Nik tool. Expanded showing favorites and help.īut you can also collapse it (-) into the corner of your screen where it takes up even less space. It's frankly just delightful to work with the new Selective Tool.

Sharpener Pro suffers from the same competition. It isn't so much its power but the use of a single point to apply its adjustments.ĭfine is no slouch either but noise reduction is typically handled within an image editing software's basic tools. Viveza has always been an acquired taste, a bit too complex for most people. And we expect Perspective Efex to make quite an impression. Silver Efex Pro may be the most popular but both Analog Efex Pro and Color Efex Pro can manipulate color images just as much.

We've been kicking the tires for a few days after a couple of briefing with DxO and our experience with the product has only confirmed our initial enthusiasm. While recent updates to version 2 have been modest if meaningful, Nik Collection 3 marks a significant update to the package. The suite was sold to Google who sold it to DxO, which has been breathing new life into it since the acquisition.
