Perfect Enhance вЂ“ Image processing tool that allow you to adjust things like Exposure, Contract, Colour, Noise and Detail etc.However nothing beats Lightroom so if you use it then stick with it. Perfect Browser вЂ“ Not much to say but its a image browser that allows you some sorting and organising capabilities.IвЂ™ve been using these plugins since version 8 and enjoy them just as much as any other plugin. So you can get the complete plugin suite for $149 and there is always some sort of bundled deal on offer so you get more than your moneyвЂ™s worth which makes the decision to buy the plugin that much easier. Ever since Google acquired Nik Software, OnOne Perfect Suite has matched their plugin prices as well. Best of all it can save your edited Images in PSD (Photoshop Document) format so if you later get Photoshop or want somebody to edit your image further in Photoshop you can open them easily in Photoshop. These may not make sense but if you are not familiar but Perfect Suite allows you to use Layers, Blending modes and Masking much like Photoshop. However on the contrary to other plugins Perfect Suite has additional features that make it more like mini-Photoshop. OnOne SoftwareвЂ™s Perfect Suite 9 is another great suite of plugins that works in Lightroom, Photoshop and as a standalone application. Works quite well but if you crank up the sliders then you get patched and banding on the image. Dfine вЂ“ Noise reduction tool for your images.Comes with lots of pre-configured options for printing on various types of paper and size.

Sharpener Pro вЂ“ Sharpen your images like a Pro suitable for Display or Printing.Very easy to use plugin and my only choice for HDR Image creation (at the moment). HDR Efex Pro вЂ“ Create subtle to drugged HDR images.

Viveza вЂ“ Selective adjustments for your images for colours and tones in your image.

This is my goto plugin for any and all Black and White conversions.

Silver Efex Pro вЂ“ Black and White conversion for your images.

Color Efex Pro вЂ“ Creative effects, colour correction and retouching for your images.

Analog Efex Pro вЂ“ Old/Classic camera, film and lens looks for your images.

I use this plugin quite a lot for adding additional touch of creativity to my images. Google is still developing the plugin suite and have released a new plugin to the collection since acquiring Nik Software. Now you might be wondering if they are giving it away for so less, whatвЂ™s the catch.

#NIK COLLECTION VS LIGHTROOM PLUS#

The complete set of plugins used to be around $400-$500 but ever since Google came along and purchased the company they are literally giving away the plugin for $149 plus you get free upgrades.

#NIK COLLECTION VS LIGHTROOM SOFTWARE#

Nik Software as it was called a few years ago is a great collection of plugins that will enhance your images, create amazing black and white images, create HDR Image, sharpen and de-noise your images. Nik Collection is a great collection of plugins for Photoshop, Lightroom and as a standalone software. Although if you work for these companies and want to sponsor I would love to hear from you.

This blog post is neither paid for, nor sponsored by any of these companies. Personally I own both Nik Collection by Google and OnOne Perfect Suite however not Topaz (not yet). You can own one of them or all of them but I can say for sure you wonвЂ™t be disappointed with either of them and nor will you find a look thatВ you like. Wether you use Photoshop or Lightroom there are some plugins that areВ must have for editing your photos and giving them an extraordinary look and feel.
