People who edit their photos using either one of Photoshop, Lightroom, or Aperture can download Nik Collection for free. As an example, after upgrading to Windows 10 this weekend, I came across another product (Spyder5Express) that indicated official support of Windows 10 on one web page and excluded it on another page. Special effect applied to an image using the Analog Efex Pro plugin. Even though they are not listed in the product's specification requirements, that could be simply a matter of the information not having been updated. Having said that, we still don't know if LR CC or Windows 10 are officially supported. Once I found Silve Efex located in a different menu, it occurred to me that it might have been there all along. It has been so long since I have used the program that I looked in the wrong LR dropdown menu after re-installing the Nik Collection. This marks the end of them being sold as separates, and for that flat fee, you get Dfine 2.0, Viveza 2, HDR Efex Pro 2, Color Efex Pro 4 Complete Edition, Silver Efex Pro 2, and Sharpener. Indeed, it might have already been installed and working fine. As an extra bonus, register your book and go to to download a few of my favorite homegrown recipes. Today the company announced the Nik Collection by Google, which is every single one of Nik’s desktop plugins in a single bundle, for just 149. (It has been a long time since I had installed it and completely forgot the process to be used.) After using the correct process, it installed just fine. The remaining four replicate some of Lightroom’s functionality for example, sharpening, HDR, and noise reduction but adding a few extra touches and.
Definitely my error and possibly on two fronts.Īfter reviewing Nik's tutorial on how to install it, I realized that I used the wrong process. Four 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.
