For more precise editing, however, you’ll still need to make the necessary adjustments individually.Ī non-destructive workflow is now possible when using Nik Collection 3 thanks to the use of TIFF multipage files. This is handy when you want to apply the same edits across a batch of images shot in similar conditions. Using Last Edit, you can quickly reapply the same adjustments in one click without having to manually retrace your steps within a particular plugin. In addition to having direct access to your favorited filters and recipes for certain plugins within the Nik Collection (such as Color Efex Pro 4, Dfine 2, and Silver Efex Pro 2), a Last Edit feature has been added to the Nik Selective Tool. The UI now better matches Photoshop’s interface and feels more responsive overall.
