The new Quick Edit option can re-apply the last plugins you used without needing to launch the plugin interface.

GEOMETRIC CORRECTIONS
Perspective Efex automatically corrects geometric distortions in your photos. It’s the quickest and easiest way to fix even the most complex geometric distortions. Either by using reference lines or automatic correction, Perspective Efex can correct any unsightly leading lines in urban and architectural photos, no matter how complex. It’s your best tool to correct keystoning.

Using a one-of-a-kind database created from DxO’s optical modules, Perspective Efex also removes all types of distortion, including barrel, pincushion, and fisheye distortion. Perspective Efex, is the only plugin on the market that can automatically correct distortions to the shapes of bodies and faces located along the edges of wide-angle photos, resulting in images that accurately reflect reality.

MINIATURE EFFECT
Take control of the focal point in your photos. Place the emphasis exactly where it works best. With two blur gradients and the flexibility to apply blur just where you want it, Nik’s Miniature Effect can create the perfect amount of transition from sharpness to blur. Add dramatically shallow focus to food shots or turn regular photos into miniature scenes. This brilliant tool even lets you simulate wide-aperture settings for superb and convincing bokeh effects.

U POINT™ - DESIGNED FOR PRECISION
Based on Control Points, U POINT technology lets you flexibly apply local adjustments and tweak settings on specific areas of an image. Alterations can include attributes such as Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Structure, and much more! The system is ideal for selecting areas that aren’t completely round and selections can even be extended to areas that are partially shaded.

COLOR EFEX PRO – YOUR LAUNCHPAD TO CREATIVITY
Perhaps the best-loved and most-popular Nik Collection plugin. With more than 50 different filters and a raft of exciting image recipes, Color Efex pro will inject color and atmosphere into your photos. Add some instant sunshine with the Sunlight filter or create an atmospheric and moody landscape using Color Efex Pro’s Fog filter. Change the color of leaves with the Foliage filter or conjure up a sober mood with the eerie Midnight filter. Color Efex Pro is the quickest and easiest way to add color, mood, and atmosphere to your photos with a creative look that’s as unique as you are.

MAXIMUM CREATIVITY FROM A BYGONE AGE
With Analog Efex Pro you can create evocative and atmospheric vintage photos using a spectacular range of analog effects. Capture the old-time ‘look and feel’ of photos taken with classic cameras and lenses. Recreate the look of filmstock long since disappeared. Quickly and easily apply selective blur, bokeh, light leaks, lens vignetting – and even scratches – to your images. Analog Efex Pro provides you with an amazing arsenal of more than 80 tools and vintage effects for you to create images with an authentic antique atmosphere.

GET HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE IN A CLICK
Great HDR images are created using multiple photos shot at different exposure using your camera’s bracket function. Compiling all those images into one great HDR photo takes tremendous skill and experience. Nik Collection’s HDR Efex Pro takes all the guesswork out of turning multiple exposures into stunning HDR images. HDR Efex Pro can even use intelligent tone mapping to reproduce stunning HDR effects from a single exposure.

GET YOURSELF A SHARPER IMAGE
Nik Collection 3 By DxO includes the brilliant Sharpener Pro plugin with its two unique sharpening stages for creating ultra-crisp images. The first stage pulls out just the right amount of detail from your images to ensure the photos are perfectly prepared ready for you to adjust. The second stage guides you through the process of applying just the right amount of sharpening, so your photos are ready for their final destination, whether that’s a photo printer or a large display screen.

TURN DOWN THE NOISE!
Digital noise is just a fact of digital photographic life, especially when photos taken at lower light levels. Unlike most noise-reduction tools, Nik Collection’s Dfine plugin is unique. Dfine is a wavelet noise reduction algorithm-based tool. It transforms an image into a map of spacial frequencies and then identifies and removes the unwanted noise. Using its unique noise algorithms, Dfine can automatically remove the right amount of digital noise from your photos without impacting on their sharpness or presence.
