Nik Collection 5 is on sale now at a price of $149/£135 (about AU$214) for new users and $79/£69 (about AU$114) for those upgrading from a previous version. In Nik Collection 5, Color Efex incorporates ClearView technology, first introduced in DxO PhotoLab, DxOs all-in-one photo editing software. In one further change, Perspective Efex adds more than 4,300 camera and lens combinations to its database of correction profiles. This is very effective at restoring contrast in hazy landscapes, but also adding ‘punch’ to flat looking images generally.

On top of that, control points in these plug-ins now have Luminance and Chrominance sliders to fine-tune their masking effect.Ĭolor Efex Pro goes one better, now incorporating the ClearView technology from PhotoLab. It’s now possible to rename control points for easier identification and save them as part of presets for future use.

The U Point adjustment tools are substantially upgraded too. They benefit from an interface update to replace their previously somewhat dated and technical appearance and bring them in line with Silver Efex Pro and Viveza. Quite frankly I am surprised that the plug-in works for you in Photoshop 2023 at all CS4 became obsolete in 2010 after all.
