Silver Efex Pro is one of the most powerful black and white editing tools. This entire Nik Collection plugin is designated for creating beautiful black and white photos by using filters and editing tools like contrast, brightness and more.
After opening the image in Silver Efex Pro plugin you can see all of the black and white filter choices listed on the top left corner. For this example I want to create a simple black and white look so I chose to go with the Classic — Neutral Filter. Then I went to the right side tool bar and slightly increased contrast, brightness and decreased structure to make it look dreamier. I love the Silver Efex Pro tool for editing portraits and wedding photos to make them look vintage and old-timey.
Instead of using filters, the Viveza plugin comes with different editing tools like brightness, contrast, saturation, structure, and others that can be used to fix lighting and color issues in photos. For this example, I chose an image that was shot during sunset and came out a bit too dark. After opening the photo in Viveza I started messing around with the tools available on the right hand side tool bar.
I started with basic adjustments to fix lighting and color. I increased brightness to make it lighter, increased saturation to make it more colorful and increased structure to add more clarity. I also increased shadows to make it look lighter and added warmth to make it more yellow like a sunset. Just with these few adjustments, the image was already looking so much better. Then I scrolled down to the color and RGB curve adjustments and played around with those until I got the color combination that I liked.
This is where you can really get creative. The best part about Nik Collection is that it eliminates a lot of confusion and uncertainty when it comes to editing photos. Sometimes Lightroom and Photoshop can feel so complicated because the editing choices seem endless.
Nik Collection plugins eliminate most of the confusion and the program does all the hard work for you. We hope that you enjoyed this intro post to Nik Collection.
