You’ll almost certainly need to move control points around from image to image, but it could still be useful to have pre-configured control points automatically added with presets. That’s useful enough in itself, but on top of that you can also now save control points in presets. Analog Efex Pro 3 now uses DxO’s latest control point enhancements, so that you can fine tune the masking of your local adjustments using Luminance and Chrominance sliders.
They are still there, but instead DxO leads with the filters themselves, part of the original ‘Camera Kit’ mode but now brought to the fore, which is what most more experienced editors will want to work with. The filters, tools and presets themselves are largely the same, but what DxO has done is radically update the user interface to bring it in line with the other Nik plug-ins and also de-clutter Google’s original ‘camera’ categories. If you don’t want the fuss and you’re happy with regular ‘destructive’ editing, you can still work with regular JPEG and TIFF images. It means working with some pretty large double-size TIFF files, but they contain both the original image, the edited version and the Analog Efex Pro editing instructions, so you can pick up where you left off and re-edit your images without having to start again. Until the release of Nik Collection 5, it really had any significant changes since DxO took over the Nik Collection, although with Nik Collection 3 it did benefit from DxO’s new non-destructive workflow using the ‘multipage’ TIFF format. You can select a preset look and stop there, select a preset and then modify its adjustments, or start from a blank canvas and choose your own filters and effects. It follows the same principle as the rest by offering a selection of preset image effects which are constructed using individual components like film effects, borders, vignettes and more. And, if you’re into retro effects, it’s perhaps the most interesting in the whole Nik Collection. Analog Efex Pro was the only Nik Collection plug-in added under Google’s ownership.
