DxO Nik collection update V4.3 adds ‘Nature’ inspired seasonal presets, changing tonal balances and the look of images

Complementing more than 250 existing pre-sets, this update brings greater creative potential by drawing on the power of the elements and the natural flow of the seasons.

Nik Collection is an acclaimed suite of software for Adobe® Photoshop® and Lightroom®, with the unparalleled power of U Point™ local adjustment technology, and sophisticated editing tools. Nik Collection 4 targets every aspect of creative photography. From color photography to black-and-white images, HDR, and analog film simulation, Nik Collection 4 redefines the limits of creative photography.

35 new nature-inspired pre-sets

Nik Color Efex now features “The Seasons”, four pre-sets that evoke the different stages of the year.  For example, “Winter” gives landscapes an icy, chilly atmosphere by accentuating cool tones, while “Autumn” pushes green foliage towards red, orange, and yellow, giving an authentic sense of warmth.

Nik HDR Efex gains five new presets. The “Tonal Landscapes” series offers allows users to enhance the soft greens of spring foliage, uncover the glow of golden hour, or reveal the calm blueness of dawn.

In Nik Analog Efex, users can give their photographs a vintage feel through the six “Landscapes of Yesteryear” pre-sets, designed to infuse images with a refined, antique quality that will take viewers back in time.

The six “Dramatic Landscapes” pre-sets new to Nik Silver Efex will reveal the true character of black and white landscape photographs. Users can remove haze to draw out the detail of sweeping landscapes, add intensity to the skies to give approaching storms an ominous feel, and introduce grain to give photographs extra depth.

Six Meta-pre-sets — actions that blend together filters and settings from multiple Nik Collection plugins for quick application — are available for Adobe Photoshop users. Images can be transformed in a single click, perhaps to create the ambience of those fleeting moments just before dawn, or the luxurious glimmer of a lazy summer evening.
