The U-Point technology – previously seen in the Silver Efex Pro 3 and Viveza 3 plug-ins in 2021’s Nik Collection 4 – allows for precise local adjustments to colours, brightness, contrast, sharpness and more. These include new and better user interfaces, plus improved U-Point implementation with better performance and more powerful local adjustments. Nik Collection 5 includes major upgrades and redesigns to the Nik Color Efex and Analog Efex plug-ins. The Nik Collection suite of plug-ins can be used as standalone applications or as plug-ins with host applications, including DxO PhotoLab, Photoshop, Lightroom Classic and as standalone software for Macs and PCs. DxO has announced Nik Collection 5, the latest version of its eight-strong suite of image editing plug-ins.
