Today DxO is launching the latest version of the Nik suite of plugins. and white conversion plugin has a sleek new interface and presets for making convincing black and white images, including film grain simulation. The Silver Efex Pro plugin is part of the new Nik Collection 4 by DxO suite of plugins.
In the field of digital imaging software, DxO is the gold standard and has decades of experience in testing and benchmarking digital cameras and lenses to provide software that can correct the distortions created by lenses and tame the noise produced by digital camera sensors.
DxO stepped into the breach and bought the Nik Collection source code from Google and set about updating the package so it could run properly again on industry-standard software like Photoshop. Thankfully, Nik Collection was eventually rescued by DxO, a developer of imaging software. Without any maintenance and development, Nik Collection withered on the vine and the plugins ended up no longer working with newer versions of Adobe’s image editing like Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC. Sadly, Google wasn’t so keen on keeping Nik Collection up to date and it ended up giving the plugins away for free. Nik Software was so good that Google eventually snapped the company up so it could get its hands on the excellent SnapSeed photo-editing app for smartphones. The Nik Collection plugins were launched 25 years ago and soon built a massive following from digital photographers who love their extensive range of special effects and the creativity that the Nik plugins provided. Regular readers will know that I’m a massive fan of the Nik Collection of Photoshop plugins that can also work as standalone programs. DxO’s Superb Nik Collection 4 Photoshop Plugins Gets Updated
