Finally, I prefer to selectively apply my adjustments, so I press the brush button and go back to PS4 and Brush in my changes, then hit apply and your finished. I first did a global on the green color cast and dialed it down -2, then put a control point in for both the warmth and another control point for the foreground and made my adjustments The adjustments levels on the control points are backlit and isolated so that they are now really easy to read your setting. In practice, I used this plugin on my image HEAD SOUTH, I wanted to tone down the green color cast on the ocean, soften the vibrance of the warmth, and brighten the foreground. This is something that the NX2 color control point can not really do unless you make the entire Image a control point. The primary benefit here is that you can do both global or selective adjustments with this plug in. During my work flow, I try to use color control point whenever I need it in NX2, but when I goto PS4 to finish off my Image, it was a pain not having the control points in PS4, and having to decide if I could find a layer to get what I wanted done, or go back out to NX2. The interface for Nik V2, is totally beefed up !, and now includes so much more control than before. For comparison I have a screenshot for each of the plugins:ġ) NIKON CAPTURE NX2 – Color Control Point The new interface of Nik Viveza and Nik Silver Efex is more modern, more appealing, and more functional.

The technology for the software is based on U-Point technology, first found on Nikon Capture NX. New interface, even more precise Control Points, and optimized tools for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom: Nik Collection 5 helps your creativity reach even greater heights. I tried calling and talking to someone at NIK to get a break, but they were to busy to ever get back…anyway, I went ahead and using my NAPP discount purchased V2 for $79 and downloaded the plug in for PS4 for MAC.

Then to add salt to the wound, version 2, would be a $99 upgrade, unless you purchased after Oct.

’09 for $129, I was disappointed, it was anemic and had little use in my workflow. I total enjoy using NIK plugs in, but when I bought version 1 1n Sept.

The folks over at NIK software sent out a prerelease announcement on this upgrade back in November.
