In no way shape or form would I be considered a photographer but as the testing progressed I found that this is very easy-to-use and understand - some of the pictures I was playing around with actually started to look pretty good so just imagine what a real photographer could accomplish.

This desktop graphics suite was a paid service but has recently been offered as freeware. ![]() The latest version of the renowned suite of eight plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop® and Lightroom Classic® also features a brand new tool to reduce haze and 29 faithfully reproduced color film grains. Trust of course is not one and done but this Nik v1 and v2 upgrade situation is not a good augur.Nik Collection version 5: Major upgrades to Color Efex and Analog Efex, improved local adjustment technology, and a smoother user experience. But if you aren’t satisfied with the updates there’s no way that DxO should be keeping your money and you shouldn’t let them get away with it.ĭxO has abused the trust of its most dedicated supporters by running two upgrades so close back to back, with such narrow windows of complimentary upgrades and with a forced duplicate software buy (extra copy of PhotoLab Essentials). I’m okay with it in the end as finally the Nik plugins which I care about (Color Efex Pro and Silver Efex) are finally properly accessible and run smoothly in my environment (Mac Pro, OS X 10.11.6 & 10.14.5, GTX 980 and RX 580). While I’ve paid for v2 and upgraded the extra PhotoLab license to Elite (Essentials is very inadequate as you don’t have no control to set up your palettes efficiently), for me it was borderline not buy at all as I haven’t had much use out of the Nik plugins (which I’ve paid for three times now). Credit card companies will do it for you too. If you feel that strongly and paid via Paypal, there’s very little DxO can do about you claiming a refund, as “Goods not as advertised”. If you think about that DXO since taking over NIK Tools has not added any additional functionality into the Tools itself, but only made them compatible (stable) and 4k-supported (some of the tools) for the latest Plugin-based Image Editors and we’re already at V2 (which both had to be bought)…Īctually i’m feeling pretty dumb now to have bought V2 in good thought (and invested again in DXO), finding out, that the 4k-support (the only fix i actually really needed for my 15" 4K Notebook) is not available for the full nik-suite, but only for a part of it and there is no option of returning the software after it has been activated with the key. For V1-owners this is a big setback to now know, that major-versions will not be supported any longer than for one year. For a lot companies major (final) releases usually include feature-complete Additions, while minor-releases are not further enhanced with additional functions (but at least fixing well known problems like the 4k-issues with all the plugins). For me it’s really difficult to grasp this kind of declaration of major and minor-releases. Why are there even limitations especially if this is a costly upgrade for all the V1-owners who already have financially supported further development before the V2 release. I’ve encountered the same issues with Viveza 2 and am pretty displeased with the 4k support limitation of only Efex-Named-Plugins.
