Nik Multimedia Color Efex Pro 2.0 Plug-in

nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 photographic filters offer features and functionality that are designed to make digital photographic enhancements not only easier, but better.

Recognized as the leader in digital photographic filters, the three filter collections from nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 provide you with a wide range of filters and effects that make enhancing and transforming your images better than ever.

nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 is offered in three collections to allow you to choose the collection that best fits your needs.

The nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 Complete Edition offers the complete range of 75 traditional and stylizing photographic filters. As the professional's choice for photographic filters, the Complete Edition enables professionals to choose from any of the 75 filters in the collection to enhance virtually any image, or to create unique photographic styles in their images.

How the nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 Filters Work: nik multimedia utilizes leading digital photographic filter technology to create powerful and versatile photographic filters. nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 filters use the True Light color processing system that considers the existing color and light information in an image automatically to provide optimal photographic enhancements.

Each nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 filter adapts its effect based on the detail structures, colors, and contrast range of each image. By identifying the unique qualities of the image that the filter is processing, each filter is able to achieve consistency across a range of images. This consistency provides greater productivity as the filters can be applied with the same settings across a wide range of images.

nik Color Efex Pro 2.0 filters adapt to any previous filter adjustment or any other change made to the image to provide natural color and light enhancements. This feature becomes increasingly important since applying filters in a different order will provide you with more control over your images, as well as more options for great, natural photographic enhancements.

The combination of the True Light color processing system along with each filter's adaptive nature provides a truly unique system of controlling the light and color in virtually any image.
