(ThereвЂ™s also a little bit of overlap between a few of them, and some of the plugins are more useful than others.)ДЇour of the eight plugins are geared towards creative editing and are probably worth the money on their own: Color Efex Pro 2, Analog Efex Pro 2, Silver Efex Pro 2, and Perspective Efex. The remaining four replicate some of LightroomвЂ™s functionality - for example, sharpening, HDR, and noise reduction - but adding a few extra touches and can be useful.

You can apply filters to create gorgeous, vintage-style edits, add light leaks, tweak contrast, create borders, change perspective, add sharpening, stack HDR, make local adjustments - and more. Many of the filters can be refined, and some can even be вЂњstackedвЂќ on top of one another to create something truly unique. Nik Collection 3 is perfect for relative beginners who want some simple, one-click (almost) editing options to create striking effects, but is also useful for experienced photographers - Silver Efex Pro 2 in particular - who want to create distinctive edits with minimal effort. (IвЂ™ve not had a chance to test the integration with Capture One, but I understand that it is similar to Lightroom but requires a slightly different process to set it up.) There are eight plugins, all of which are accessible either via Lightroom or Photoshop. In Lightroom, you simply right-click an image, choose вЂњEdit InвЂќ, and then select the plugin youвЂ™d like to use from a list. To work with raw files non-destructively, Nik Collection duplicates your raw file but as a TIFF file. It then gives you the option to save your edits into that TIFF.

However, the one drawback is that this results in some very large files as it creates layers within the TFF file itself (called a вЂњmultipage TIFFвЂќ).
