General performance improvements have also been made, and the plug-ins did feel a bit faster in my testing. The Selective tool also now has a “last edit” option that quickly recalls and applies the last settings used in the plug-in, ideal for working with multiple images. The Nik Selective tool, a window in Photoshop that offers fast access to the different plug-ins, has been overhauled and now better matches Photoshop’s user interface and clearly labels what each plug-in does.

Non-destructive editing creates a TIFF file, which consumes more hard drive space, but that may be an acceptable trade-off for the increased flexibility.ĭxO also made a handful of workflow enhancements with this update. By checking the “save and edit later” box, you can re-open an image in a plug-in multiple times to redo the adjustment. The second major change in Nik Collection 3 is non-destructive editing within Lightroom.
