![]() ![]() The sad part is that since Google purchased the NIK collection, not a lot has been done with it. The NIK collection was and still is my go-to plugin for creative ideas and attempts to make a boring image better. To know more about the Adobe DNG Converter or download it, please read the article Our Post-Processing Tools. Years ago the NIK collection was one of the leading plugins for lightroom and it was competing with the likes of ON1 and other plugins. There is no loss of data while converting RAW file to DNG. In such situations, you need to use a free software called Adobe DNG Converter to convert your RAW file to a universally readable RAW file format DNG (Digital Negative). E.g., Adobe Camera RAW 9.1.1 (that comes as a plugin with Photoshop CS6) cannot identify the ARW file format from Sony. Sometimes, Adobe Camera RAW or Adobe Lightroom may not recognize the RAW image's file format coming out of your camera. Convert the RAW file to DNG using Adobe DNG Converter (if needed) To set up your camera for shooting in RAW mode, go into your camera settings and change the file format to ARW for Sony, NEF for Nikon, or CRW for Canon. So I shoot RAW always and I insist you to do the same. It is impossible to do much with it apart from adding some sauce or sprinkling salt (adjusting a little brightness or contrast). On the other hand, a straight-out-of-the-camera JPEG file is like already cooked food. Once cooking is complete, you can then serve it on the platter (save in JPEG format). So you must shoot in RAW, then open the RAW files in a basic RAW processing tool like Adobe Camera RAW or Adobe Lightroom and then use the available information in the image to cook the food as per your wish. It has all the ingredients (light and shadow information) needed to cook a good image. It features a newly designed Nik Selective Tool, the suites plugin launcher for Adobe Photoshop, and new quick edit tools. A RAW file format is like raw vegetables. Nik Collection 3 by DxO is a major upgrade to the famous plugin suite for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, and DxO PhotoLab. ![]() I always shoot in RAW file format instead of JPEG format. ![]() My Step-by-Step Post-Processing Workflow 1. ![]()
