![]() They keep changing how the pre-sets are arranged/grouped, and so it's getting harder and harder to quickly work images. The interface is getting worse, not better. Viveza is a tool that I should use more-there are some really handy uses for it-and so all in all, it's a great package.īut DxO is doing a crap job managing the software and dealing with customers. I have used the Sharpener a little, and the Denoising barely at all. The Silver Efex alone is worth it (I paid $150 for the standalone Silver Efex back before Google bought Nik), and Color Efex is pretty good, and the HDREfex has some decent HDR utility. ![]() You can now buy (or try for free) the new Nik Collection 5.Nik is great software. Support for Apple chips obviously doesn’t matter if you prefer working in Windows. We’d love to see the developers pay attention to Apple Silicon for the next update, though I admit there were no hiccups with Rosetta 2 emulation when I tested the software on a Mac Studio. The suite continues to be a good pick for photographers who enjoy creative editing, and longtime users should appreciate that updates keep it going on newer systems. The addition of batch processing can help speed up certain workflows, too. It’s not quite as convenient as Raw processing and this feature certainly requires a lot of space on your hard drive, but you may find the option to go back and make edits to an image worthwhile. We’re also glad to see some level of nondestructive editing in the suite. ![]() They also all include the ability to rename U-Points and add them to presets, making up for the somewhat inconsistent experience from Collection 4. Now, all four creative arms-Analog Efex, Color Efex, Silver Efex, and Viveza-offer a consistent user experience. With Collection 5, the welcome interface refresh from last year comes to more apps in the suite. For years, I held onto the free version Google released, stashing the installer on various drives and laptops, lest I ever lost track of it and access to my beloved Silver Efex Pro. ![]() I’m happy to see that DxO continues to develop and improve the Nik Collection. ![]()
