Nik Software Complete Collection Software Plug-in for Lightroom & Aperture

2012-12-13T19:00:00

Color correction with Color Efex Pro Easy to use. Silver Efex Pro made me enjoy converting to B&W. Working direct in Lightroom makes life a little easier. The Support has been good and friendly. As a packaged collection I find that the Product keys were too many and to big. One key for the collection should suffice.

I use this in conjunction with LR4. It has improved my final product. Easy to install, navigate and use. Well worth the money!

Nik software, along with Lightroom 4, has become a critical part of my workflow. It's extremely flexible and the results have exceeded my expectations.

Love the "u-Point" technology for great control in enhancing an image.

Like I said, I'm just starting to use this product. It is for Light Room but I would also like the version that would work for Photoshop also but that version is to expensive. So I use it after I do my photoshop work if needed and if I don't need photoshop then it is great for that purpose. All in all I like the versatility of the different programs that are in this collection.

Once I realized that I needed to go to the NIK site and download the lastest version, the installation and setup process went smooth. I am only starting to use this software, and already I find that it exceeds my expectations. I like the previews of some presets on the left side. I just pick one, and then customize.

The only knock I can give this excellent suite of software is that there are variations across the suite that, while not confusing, can be disappointing. Like whether you can group control points, or not. Also, if you like to use more than one of the apps in the suite, you must return to Lightroom and relaunch the other app.

These will take a lifeless ho-hum photograph and make it sing. It will bring back a lot of what you see when you're out there making the shot to the point of awesome.

I use Nik on the creative side of my photography. Whether you need your work to match your vision or you just want to play, this software is so effortless and powerful. Silver Efex has brought new depth and dimension to my b&w. I use HDR Efex because it is so fast and easy for great results. Viveza gives me the color control I want. Just wonderful stuff.

Very powerful photo editing suite which integrates well with Photoshop and Lightroom.

A feature packed bundle comprised of amazing technology for editing photos. The U-Point based Control Point Technology is a unique and extremely powerful method for creating masks within the products. When the programs are launched as Smart Objects from PhotoShop, even the settings are retained for subsequent editing. Includes No Charge upgrade to Color Efex Pro 4.

Use Nik on all my photos. Makes editing photos simple. Easy to use. No more creating layer mask after layer mask.

Nik software is excellent. There isn't anything these folks have not thought of in developing these plug-ins, and the webinars offered on each program make them easy to install, navigate and apply. The image quality which results is absolutely superb

Be aware that you can't use all of the programs' editing on a single image. You have to close out each individual program edit and combine all of the edits separately in Photoshop layers. Grrrr!

I use the suite along with capture nx2, I have to save the files as TIF so I can do anything with them , my typical flow is : convert the raw with capture nx2, save as tif use color efex pro to add filters pass through define 2.0 to reduce noise if needed use capture nx2 to convert to jpg and resize Silver efex does wonderful b&w conversions the learning curve is nice and easy

The Nik Software Complete Collection Software Plug-in for Lightroom & Aperture is an outstanding collection of utilities that make editing your raw photographs pop with a simple interface. This collection of 4 editing plug-ins, plus one sharpening and noise utility will enable you to quickly turn your photographs into masterpieces within minutes. Nik Software also offers live webinars to teach you how to further your knowledge of their products. They also have past webinars available to watch at your leisure. I give this product a 5 star rating. Its simply an outstanding product to add to your photo editing arsenal. Terry Dunbar

I have used this package for much of my photographic work, which includes everything from a trip to the Colorado region to photographs of a string ensemble. However, I recently learned that Nik has released a new version of Color Efex and I am sorely tempted to buy it--I feel as if this package is already outdated. But the new package is rather pricey. For a bargain, though, or for a starter package of software, this package can't be beat.

I wish that the Nik complete collection for Lightroom had the ability to edit the same copy of the original for Dfine,Viveza,sharpener,color efx,all on the same image at the same time. Instead I have multiple tiffs of one edit at a time. It's very disappointing.

This is a really good suite of products for use with LR3. All of the things difficult to do in PhotoShop are easy here. Highly recomend.

Ability to make global adjustments then refine with selected adjustments. Dim or brighten a light is just one of the many abilities. Silver Efex Pro 2 is amazing B/W program. Integrated with Lightroom3 making Photoshop CS5 unnecessary on limited budget.

By far in most of my images my workflow is limited to Camera Raw and Nik complete suite, I only go to Photoshop for cloning and when difficult and precise selections are needed. The time that this software save you is amazing. My only problem is the guilty feeling I feel when people are impressed with some of my results and I don't tell them how easy was that to achieve with this powerful and easy to use software.

ROBERT C.

Already said it all I think. This suite of programs is my primary "go to" inside of Photoshop.

Wow, I never really never used my CS3, becuase there was so much to remember. Now with NIK its easy and it writes its own layers. Now my CS3 is my #1 program of choice!

I really love Nik's products. The versatility of all of their plugins makes this suite a must have. With the control points, you can easily achieve the effect you want right inside of the plugin, rather than needing many tweeks with photoshop or lightroom. I especially love HDREfex & SilverEfex!

A very powerful suite of plugins that work with Photoshop and Lightroom. Excellent manual provided and extensive information on the NIK website regarding use of each plugin. UPoint is a very powerful tool that gives photographers the edge they need to duplicate what the eyes see. This is a must have for any photographer who wants to take their creativity to the next level.

This program is easy to use and extremely versatile. It can make the difference between good photography and great photography. Silver Efex is especially useful for turning ho-hum color photos into something more dramatic. I can't say enough good things about this program. Nik Complete Collection is my go-to software for all post-processing.

I bought this bundle mainly for Silver EffEx and HDR processing plugin for Lightroom. Have immensely enjoyed using both. Have not as yet spent the time to explore the other plugin but do intend to.
