If you're used to workflow applications such as Lightroom Classic and Capture One Pro, you might be a little surprised by how you access the tools within the Nik Collection. The latest version of the suite, Nik Collection 5 by DxO ($149 for new customers, $79 as an upgrade), modernizes the interface across several of the creative apps and introduces new capabilities to the Analog Efex Pro and Color Efex Pro tools.

That's particularly true of Silver Efex Pro, which benefitted from a major update last year. It has been around since the 90s and, although ownership has changed hands over the years, the collection of image editing tools continue to impress. The Nik Collection is a legendary suite of photo editing software and many people revere both its black-and-white and color film looks.
