Nik Collection 1.2.18

Nik Collection 是 DxO Labs 推出的影像編輯外掛套件，主要為 Photoshop、Lightroom 與 Aperture 等軟體提供外掛支援，讓使用者直接在桌面端完成專業級照片後製。這套工具最鮮明的特色在於內含多款經典濾鏡，例如 Color Efex 與 Analog Efex 的升級版本，並加入去霧工具與多種底片顆粒模擬效果，對喜愛底片質感的使用者來說辨識度很高。自收錄以來更新頻率穩定，近一年內仍有持續維護，在同類外掛工具中屬於評價普遍不錯的熱門選擇。

這套軟體適合已經在使用 Photoshop 或 Lightroom 的攝影愛好者，尤其是想快速套用風格化效果、又不想手動調整繁複參數的人。與其替代軟體相比，Nik Collection 的優勢在於一次提供多種濾鏡整合，但代價是必須依賴主程式運作，無法獨立開啟。授權方面提供試用版，且目前僅支援英文介面，Windows 與 macOS 皆有對應版本，使用前需留意語系與主程式相容性。

Nik Collection is a robust photo editing suite that is plugin ready for Photoshop, Lightroom, or Aperture allowing you to create professional-looking images right from your desktop. Add the power of the Nik Collection by DxO Labs to your workflow today.



Nik Collection version 5: Major upgrades to Color Efex and Analog Efex, improved local adjustment technology, and a smoother user experience. 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.

This desktop graphics suite was a paid service but has recently been offered as freeware. You can use it, without breaking the bank, to bring out every aspect of your photos easily creating moods, fixing imperfections, enhancing colors and so much more.

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. Any option you choose to use comes with a thumbnail example of the effect rendering for reference taking all the guesswork out letting you focus on creating.

Nik Collection is adequately packed with 7 desktop plug-ins that provide an unmatched range of photo editing capabilities that include multiple filter applications for improving color correction, image sharpening for bringing out details that may be too subtle, many retouching and creative effects as well as the ability to make on-the-spot color and tonality adjustments to any image. Being that this is now free it is worth giving a try.
