nik software color efex before and after

[Craig]

I'm still playing with Nik plugins and LOVING them!

Here is a before and after. using color efex I toned down the colors in the image. Then using nik viveza I was able to brighten Dina's dress and skin tones.
It is a very easy program to use because they use "control points" so no magic wands or selection tools required or erasing!

this is Dina in Adventureland behind POTC

Wow. You definitely made her skin tones looked more tan

At first I thought the before was the after; then I wised up. I'm betting it'll look better on my (home) iMac vs. my macbook. But I can see the difference, esp in the microcontrast.

Making want to try it out and buy...

Great shot and a beautiful subject!

NIK tools are simply a must buy. They make processing so much easier. My workflow starts with Define, then Viveza, then Color Effects, and finally Sharpener Pro.
