Control Lines, ellipses, and polygons
Control Lines have all of the functionality of a graduated filter but with all of the magic of Control Points.
And new to Nik Collection 7 are two new options: Control Points now stretch and squeeze into ellipses, and the Polygonal Tool allows you to shape selections exactly as you need.
Diffuse and invert for ultimate fine-tuning
For pixel-perfect adjustments, you can diffuse the impact of selections made using Control Points and the Elliptical and Polygonal Tools.
And note that any selection made using U Point’s tools can be inverted for those moments when you need even more precision.
Functionality is fantastic. It couldn’t be simpler to use.

One powerful tool,
loads of different uses
U Point has a ton of different uses depending on what you want to achieve. For example, use it to target the impact of your presets in Nik Color Efex, then control hue, brightness, and contrast in Nik Viveza.
Then, adjust exposure in Nik HDR Efex, reduce noise with Nik Dfine, and optimize crispness in Nik Sharpener.
Selective Tones and Luminosity Masks
The Selective Tones palette gives you control over Highlights, Shadows, Midtones and Blacks, as both global or local adjustments. This allows you to target changes with a heightened level of precision.
For even greater control, Nik Collection 7 introduces Luminosity Masks that allow you to adjust an image based on a range of brightness levels — great for refining subtle transitions.
