#Nik collection 2 pro#
The new additions to HDR Efex Pro include Cool Deep that I found perfect for this sunrise HDR. The plug-ins for the Adobe programs installed seamlessly and once installed gave several ways to easily move back and forth between the hosts and the Nik programs. Nik Collection 2 did not overwrite my Elite Edition with the Essential on installation. I did like the ability to access the collection by clicking a tab in DxO PhotoLab 2, although I have the Elite rather than the Essential Edition. Without an HiDPI monitor, I was unable to test that in Windows, but I assume it works as well as the Mac integration. The Nik plug-ins all provide a similar look and include U-point technology for easy local adjustments.
