I think that about covers it – a pretty big update! Frames now has a very handy Scale slider and added 10 new styles to the Lightbox frame choice. In the Film Type section all the styles have names which is helpful and two new groups, B&W Neutral with 15 styles and B&W Toned with 12 styles, have been added. More choices are in the Dust and Lint styles. This is different from the Vary button at bottom of the right panel which makes just subtle changes to only the settings of the individual filter that is open (hold SHIFT while clicking to get greater variation). There is now an “I’m Feeling Lucky” preset at the end of each Tool Combination – when clicked it completely randomizes all the preset filter settings from the selected Tool Combination. The Bokeh Tool now contains both the elliptical style and a new linear style which acts like a Tilt Shift filter. One of my favorite new features is the Multilens which allows you to divide your image into various different configurations (see last image)! The Lens Distortion Tool has a new Defocus slider which can be used to shift the image out of focus.
You can also add your own image to superimpose – some really creative possibilities with this one. By dragging out the corners of the square, the scale can be change and hovering near a side of the square, the rotation can be changed on the superimposed image. Double Exposure is another interesting filter – can either just click in your image and you get a square that superimposes your image on the original. Motion Blur has an interesting item called Add Blur Point that allows you to set the angle of the blur and the strength by dragging the blue dot around or using sliders, and several points can be added. Light Leaks, Dirt & Scratches and Photo Plate all have Control Points with a strength slider so the effect can be removed from certain object or areas. The control point sliders for the Basic Adjustments section includes all 4 sliders for easy localized adjustments. The biggest improvement is the addition of control points. The New Stuff: Nik has added several 6 new cameras called Tool Combinations – B&W, Color Cast, Motion, Subtle Bokeh, Double Exposure, and Multilens – each with presets. This easy to use plug-in is now even better! NIK has updated Analog Efex Pro to the 2 version and kept it free for all Nik collection owners. HOW ABOUT THAT UPDATE TO NIK ANALOG EFEX PRO 2?
