NEW IN NIK 9

Color grading, redefined

The new Color Grading tool in Nik Color Efex brings powerful control to a clean, intuitive interface. A single color wheel lets you adjust shadows, midtones, highlights, and global color independently, or lock them together to move in perfect harmony.

Refine your look with Hue, Saturation, and Luminance sliders, opacity, and tonal balance controls, then push creativity further with blending modes unique to Nik Color Efex. Save custom looks as mini-presets and apply them precisely using U Point™ technology or the new AI Masks.

NEW IN NIK 9

Authentic film halation,
perfectly controlled

The new Halation tool recreates the subtle glow of classic analog film, where bright highlights gently bloom into darker areas with a soft, often reddish halo. The effect is beautifully organic and fully controllable, with adjustments for brightness, radius, intensity, hue, saturation, and opacity. Like every tool in Nik Color Efex, Halation can also be applied locally for precise creative control.
