We set a control point to change the bushes to purple.

You can now limit the area of influence by Luminance or Chrominance. Quite a luxury compared to the cramped little sliders.īut more importantly, the panel has gotten two very useful new controls.

Those circles haven't gone away with DxO's Control Points but the sliders have moved into a panel. Still, we can remember sitting in a little Photokina office in 2006 watching Nils Kokemohr demonstrate his new non-masking local adjustment tool by converting a daylight shot into a night image. We see contiguous and non-continguous areas. But we don't look at our image areas in terms of circles with large soft edges. But the original U Point was a circle of influence around a point in the image with sliders to adjust the effect. The other plug-ins have three panel windows that lay out all the options. The general improvement to the Nik Collection interface is really about the Control Point interface. We were most impressed with the new Control Point interface, adding ClearView and the film emulsions. If the app name is the same and the app version bumps from 5.0.3 to 5.0.4, it's essentially the same app wrapped up for the new Collection. Version numbers vary between the Collection, individual app names and individual app version numbers.
