5/17/2023 0 Comments Nik software analog efex pro 2I like the look of number six (second row, far right) – you can see the effect on the main image as soon as you click a button. I’ve selected ‘Warm’ from the pop-up menu to show a selection of warm film effects. Over in the right sidebar, you’ll see there’s just one panel (also circled), for ‘Film Type’. I’m going to start from scratch by de-selecting all the effects except ‘Film Type’, which I’ve circled in the left sidebar. Not all of the boxes will be checked – it depends on the preset you last used. Alongside each is a checkbox, and if the box is checked, the options for that effect appear in as a section in the tools panel over on the right. As a result the overall suite feels less coherent than it should be, and is something we'd like to see DxO address. The left sidebar now displays all the components that go to make up an Analog Efex Pro effect. Analog Efex Pro 2, Color Efex Pro 4 and HDR Efex Pro 2, meanwhile, sit somewhere between the rest, with a resizable UI but a noticeably different aesthetic to Silver Efex Pro, Viveza and especially Perspective Efex. These display ready-made presets you can try out with a single click, and I looked at some of these last time, but at the bottom is the Camera Kit option, where you get full control. You’ll see a list of the four main camera types you can emulate. Start by opening the Camera menu at the top left of the the Analog Efex Pro window. I’ll also show you how you can save your effect as a new custom preset. This is the last option on the Camera menu, but also the most powerful, because it enables you to create your own analog effects from scratch. I took a quick tour of the basics in Part 1 of my Analog Efex Pro mini-series yesterday, but this time I’m going to look at the Analog Efex Pro Camera Kit using this thoroughly modern digital image I shot at a car show. It’s a tool for simulating the look of old films and cameras, right down to authentic-looking textures, scratches and light leaks. I rate this as the best set of plug-ins ever made, and practically a must-have for digital image-editing fans. Analog Efex Pro is part of the DxO Nik Collection, the set of plug-ins for Photoshop, Elements and Lightroom Classic that DxO took over from Google.
