DxO Nik Collection 8

Update with Photoshop integration and Silver Efex improvements

1 The left sidebar displays presets and filters so that you can build your own effects.

2 Photoshop integration now includes the ability to save edits in Nik and return them to Photoshop as layers.

3 Silver Efex is the star of the Nik Collection and one of the best-known B&W software tools.

4 The sidebar on the right displays panels for each filter, so you can make further adjustments.

5 Adjustment masks can be applied via Control Points, Control Lines and Polygon masks.

6 The refined workflow is now seamless. Don’t want to get bogged down in settings? Then just click on a preset.
