YOU’LL NEED
DxO NIK Collection 8 (£145.99, nikcollection. dxo.com), macOS 15 or later, a supported image-editing app
Sharpening images is something the Nik Collection of image-editing plug-ins is so good at, it’s split its sharpening abilities across two different apps. You get a Presharpener, which is designed to make up for the softening added to a Raw image file by the low-pass filter in front of the camera sensor (so may not be needed for cameras that omit this layer or when shooting JPEGs), and the Sharpener Output, which you’ll want to use to prepare your images for the medium you intend them to be shown in.
