I have been using NIK software since I helped launch it in Australia in the late Naughties!
NIK. for those of you who don't know, is a set of eight "Plug-in" programs that attach to Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop/Photoshop Elements/Affinity or can be used as stand-alone programs.
Among the programs are amazing filters and effects that can turn day into night, make your image look like a vintage print, or make a single image into an HDR image.
The programs are extremely easy to use and relatively inexpensive (it's a one-off Payment ) and there is a 30-day trial available.
The Class includes working with
- NIK Colour contains filters for tone, colour and contrast as well as special effects and filters to replicate film.
- NIK Silver Efex black and white software that can turn any boring image into a masterpiece of Film-Noir, Includes filers to replicate almost every film type made from the beginning of photography to recent years.
- NIK Analog Efex-Make your images look like they were taken with cameras from, the past (you can even add scratches and water damage!
- NIK Viveza-Colour boosting software
- NIK Define-One of the world's best noise reduction programs
- NIK HDR Efex-Creat inspiring High Dynamic Range images from one file rather than taking a series on location (The preferred file type is RAW but the software can work with JPEGs as well)
