The ability to create recipes by combining filters in pre-sets means that I can achieve a signature look for a digital image with a single click. I’ve been using the Nik Collection for 20 years now and it gets better and better. Images can be transformed in a single click to create atmospheric effects like the first light of dawn or the golden glimmer of a summer evening. Six Meta-pre-sets - actions that blend filters and settings from any of the Nik Collection plugins - are available for Adobe Photoshop users. Finally, there are loads of settings to add realistic film grain patterns to give photos extra depth. Users can remove haze to bring out more detail in the landscape, as well as add more intensity to skies, lending a more ominous feel to an image. The six “Dramatic Landscapes” pre-sets in the Nik Silver Efex Black & White filters can bring out the true character of black and white landscape photos.
