![]() ![]() ![]() Yes, the original free version is a dated version, that's what DxO stated on their website.īut for those of us who can still use it, really cannot beat the value of this "free" version. More, tools for the year 2000, and less, tools for 2020. The net result, in my eyes, is that NIK tools seem a bit dated. Also if the permit, then the DxO Nik Collection is interesting to also buy (again may be 40 or 50 off at Black Friday) as it has modules for film simulation, B&W conversions, perspective correction and more. And the Topaz plugin tools seem to work with pretty much everything, not just Photoshop. (I know, Topaz seems to be having some QC issues lately, but that doesn't negate the brilliance of the overall technology). It still wraps it up in a bit too much jargon (some of it specific to this particular software), but it does produce a good variety of ready-made HDR presets so that you don’t have to get caught up in the manual adjustments if you don’t want to. And Topaz's selective masking, along with the whole "AI" concept for sharpening and Noise control are significant improvements in those fields. And as a result, I find other software more compatible with my workflow.Ĭertainly, ACDSee's Light EQ and Pixel Targeting are major improvements in lighting control and color masking. It's not a "BAD" product, but over the years, the other software publishers have sought new ways to do those unique things that NIK did so well, and improve upon those old things that all software does.
