Each application targets a specific purpose, and we break them down one by one below. The Nik apps-Analog Efex Pro, Color Efex Pro, Dfine, HDR Efex Pro, Perspective Efex, Silver Efex Pro, Sharpener Pro, and Viveza-provide editing tools that aren't available in Raw workflow suites. If you don't already use a photo workflow application, the Nik Collection includes DxO PhotoLab 5.ĭxO PhotoLab 5 is included with the Nik Collection 5

It's not one big piece of software, but rather a suite of distinct plug-ins that integrate with a host workflow application (such as Lightroom, Photoshop, or Capture One). If you're used to workflow applications such as Lightroom Classic and Capture One Pro, you might be a little surprised by how you access the tools within the Nik Collection. The latest version of the suite, Nik Collection 5 by DxO ($149 for new customers, $79 as an upgrade), modernizes the interface across several of the creative apps and introduces new capabilities to the Analog Efex Pro and Color Efex Pro tools. That's particularly true of Silver Efex Pro, which benefitted from a major update last year. It has been around since the 90s and, although ownership has changed hands over the years, the collection of image editing tools continue to impress. The Nik Collection is a legendary suite of photo editing software and many people revere both its black-and-white and color film looks.
