Pros
Simple workspace
If you have used Topaz plugins before, you’ll notice that Google Nik Collection has a similar interface. All the effects are properly arranged for easy access. On the top right side, you’ll find options to preview the modified options –you can either preview them side by side with the original image or view the new image only.
Lots of features
You’ll enjoy plenty of features that this software collection offer. Each software opens a dialog with a variety of filters and even more sub-options below the main filters. The sub-features are unique and will give you more control on the details of the images. You can use the sliders to create your preferred balance or use the preset effects to bring out a desirable look and feel.
Better image sharpening tool
Although Photoshop comes with an image sharpening tool, it is way below the quality that you’ll get by using Nik Sharpener Pro. In fact you’ll be surprised to see that most of the images you thought were sharp on the Photoshop sharpener can be made even better.
Easy to use control points
If you are not already familiar with control points, they are the little icons on the Nik UI that you use to indicate the area of a photo you would like to work on. Clicking on the icons brings a menu with lots of options for more controls.
A new way to mask
‘Masking’ is usually complex for beginners in Photoshop. If you are still facing problems, then the Google Nik Collection is a perfect solution since control points allow you to complete any process without masks. Dropping the control points is way easier compared to masks.
Conclusion
Google Nik Collection works excellently as advertised. It is the best plugin you can get for Photoshop, Aperture, and Lightroom. Definitely, worth downloading.
