Non-destructive workflow for Adobe Lighter users

Non-destructive workflow is a brand-new feature, exclusive to Nik Collection 3. By using the TIFF MULTIPAGE file format, Nik Collection 3 can combine input files with your original Lightroom edits and any changes you made using Nik Collection 3 plug-ins, saving both sets of edits in a single file.

The plug-in opens your image in Adobe Lightroom Classic without changing any filters that were applied when you last saved the file. You can return to your edits as many times as you want without losing any of the original adjustments you made using Adobe Lightroom Classic.

The non-destructive workflow provides ultimate flexibility when editing and is a huge improvement for users of Adobe Lightroom Classic and DxO PhotoLab.

Geometric correction

Perspective Efex automatically corrects geometric distortions in your photos. It's the fastest and easiest way to fix even the most complex geometric distortions.

Using guides or automatic correction, Perspective Efex can correct any unsightly leading lines in urban and architectural photos, no matter how complex. It is the best tool for correcting keystoning.

By using the same kind of database created by DxO's optical modules, Perspective Efex can also remove all types of distortion, including barrel, pincushion, and fisheye distortion.

Perspective Efex is the only plug-in on the market that automatically corrects distortions in body and face shapes located along the edges of wide-angle photos, producing images that accurately reflect reality.

U POINT - Designed for Precision
Based on control points, U POINT technology gives you the flexibility to apply local adjustments and tweak settings to specific areas of an image. Changes can include properties such as brightness, contrast, saturation, structure, and more! This system is ideal for selecting areas that aren't perfectly circular, and the selection can even be extended to partially shaded areas.

Color Efex Pro – Your Power of Innovation

Perhaps the most popular and beloved Nik Collection plug-in, Color Efex Pro boasts over 50 different filters and exciting image recipes to inject color and atmosphere into your photos.

Add some instant sunlight with the Sunshine filter, or create atmospheric and moody landscapes with Color Efex Pro's Fog filter. Change the color of leaves with the Leaves filter, or evoke 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.

Black and white photography

Black and white photos are more than just desaturated color images. Truly outstanding black and white images possess subtle adjustments in contrast, structure, grain, and tones. Silver Efex Pro for Nik Collection 3 is a favorite black and white plug-in among professionals, thanks to its unique set of algorithms and outstanding creative tools.

Silver Efex Pro allows ultra-fine adjustments to brightness, soft contrast, white levels, and features an advanced grain engine to accurately recreate the classic look of the most iconic black and white film genres of years past.
