Title: Google Nik Collection now free
Post by: Ludvik Koutny on 2016-03-25, 12:22:53
Hi,

Google Nik Collection is now completely free. It contains a lot of awesome tools to explore different looks of your images, that are adjustable with advanced gizmos, and is also great to emulate various camera response film curves. You can get it here:

It's really fun to play with it on raw unpostprocessed images. :)

Works well as a Photoshop plugin even with latest Photoshop CC.

Oh, and it has great advanced denoiser. Obviously not as good as Corona's integrated one, because it doesn't use any render passes, but still very good one :)

I downloaded these during the weekend and played a bit, but to me they look like something from the 90's. :O
Didn't manage to get any good results, and the UI was just unusable. But it might be just a first impression, maybe I just can't unleash the whole power of this.

Maybe you just don't have enough Instagram flowing in your soul.
