Viveza is one of the most interesting tools in the bundle, letting you control color and exposure settings in your whole photo or just selected areas. You have an impressive degree of control, and if you're particularly happy with your bespoke settings you can use the 'Custom' button the left to save them as a new profile. Make sure you back up your images If you're using the filters as standalone apps rather than Photoshop plugins, because the original files will be overwritten when you save the changes.Įach of the seven apps lets you edit photos individually or in batches, and includes a list of presets that can be adjusted manually to suit your tastes.
It's also worth noting that some don't have an 'Open' button – you need to drag your photos onto the filter's icon in Explorer instead. Provided you've used the default location during setup, you'll find them in C:\Program Files\Google\Nik Collection. Instead, you need to track the filters down using Windows Explorer. Google Nik Collection won't appear in your Program list after you've run the installer, and you won't find any desktop shortcuts.
