Attention to detail

Achieve perfection through two unique stages of sharpening.

First, Nik Pre-Sharpener intelligently extracts the correct level of detail from an image file.

The second stage — Nik Sharpener Output — applies a precise amount of sharpening to suit the image’s intended purpose, whether that’s a home printer, a professional lab, or a high-definition display.

Selective Sharpening

Sometimes, sharpening just a small area is all it takes to transform an image. With Nik Sharpener, you can apply precise, selective sharpening to guide the viewer’s eye exactly where you want it. Powered by Nik Collection’s intuitive U Point technology, local adjustments are fast, accurate, and effortless.

New in Nik Collection 9, AI Masks and Depth Masks add another level of control by intelligently identifying key subjects and areas, making selective sharpening even quicker and more precise.

“Essential for photographers.”
