Nik Collection 4.3 Adds Nature-Inspired Presets
8 December 2021
DxO has released Nik Collection 4.3 with nature-inspired presets evoking the seasons of the year. At the same time, the company announced a special discount of up to 30 percent off all its software through Dec. 31.
NEW PRESETS
The new presets include:
- The Seasons four presets in Nik Color Efex evoke the different times of the year.
- Nik HDR Efex gains five new presets. The Tonal Landscapes series "enhances the soft greens of spring foliage, uncovers the glow of golden hour or reveals the calm blueness of dawn."
- In Nik Analog Efex, you can give your photographs a vintage feel with six Landscapes of Yesteryear presets, designed to infuse images with "a refined, antique quality that will take viewers back in time."
- The six Dramatic Landscapes presets new to Nik Silver Efex "will reveal the true character of black and white landscape photographs." You can remove haze to draw out the detail, add intensity to skies and introduce grain.
- The six Meta-Presets blend together filters and settings from multiple Nik Collection plug-ins for application in a single click.
PRICE, AVAILABILITY
Nik Collection 4.3 will be available for download for a special price of $99.99 instead of $149, and $59.99 instead of $79 for the upgrade, until Dec. 31.

Nik Collection 4.3 Enhances the Character of Landscape and Travel Photographs Through the Addition of 35 Nature-Inspired Presets
Complementing more than 250 existing presets, this update brings greater creative potential by drawing on the power of the elements and the natural flow of the seasons.
Nik Collection is an acclaimed suite of software for Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom, with the unparalleled power of U Point local adjustment technology and sophisticated editing tools. Nik Collection 4 targets every aspect of creative photography. From color photography to black-and-white images, HDR and analog film simulation, Nik Collection 4 redefines the limits of creative photography.
35 new nature-inspired presets
Nik Color Efex now features "The Seasons," four presets that evoke the different stages of the year. For example, "Winter" gives landscapes an icy, chilly atmosphere by accentuating cool tones, while "Autumn" pushes green foliage toward red orange and yellow, giving an authentic sense of warmth.
Nik HDR Efex gains five new presets. The "Tonal Landscapes" series offers allows users to enhance the soft greens of spring foliage, uncover the glow of golden hour or reveal the calm blueness of dawn.
In Nik Analog Efex, users can give their photographs a vintage feel through the six "Landscapes of Yesteryear" presets, designed to infuse images with a refined, antique quality that will take viewers back in time.
The six "Dramatic Landscapes" presets new to Nik Silver Efex will reveal the true character of black and white landscape photographs. Users can remove haze to draw out the detail of sweeping landscapes, add intensity to the skies to give approaching storms an ominous feel and introduce grain to give photographs extra depth.
Six Meta-presets -- actions that blend together filters and settings from multiple Nik Collection plug-ins for quick application -- are available for Adobe Photoshop users. Images can be transformed in a single click, perhaps to create the ambience of those fleeting moments just before dawn or the luxurious glimmer of a lazy summer evening.
