For me, I only used Nik Color Efex and Silver Efex, so when I went looking for something to replace it, I just needed a new place for effects, styling, and black & white conversions. After that, if I really love the photo and I need some creative help with styling it, then I jump to ON1 Effects and back to Lightroom.

If I have any major cloning/healing to do, layering, content-aware, retouching, etc… then I jump to Photoshop. My workflow is pretty much the same as it always was. A Quick Word From Our Sponsor 🙂Īs you’ll see below, I use Lightroom to organize and edit my raw photos and I use Photoshop for retouching, layers, etc… Both of my big Lightroom and Photoshop courses are $100 off right now if you’re interested. So that’s exactly what I did and that course, The Nik to ON1 Survival Guide is now ready and free for you to download right now.

Or complain any more than I already had, and pile on the angry-train that was building, I figured I’d make a course to show people what I moved to after I dropped Nik years ago. So I figured I’d written enough.Ģ) Rather than write any more about this. And the second was last year when they made it free. The first was years ago after Google bough Nik (and I was very wrong about some predictions). That said, the writing is on the wall and probably has been since Google made Nik free last year – Nik is unfortunately dead – Google even posted a message on the Nik home page that says it will no longer be updated (not even maintenance upgrades to make it work with Adobe, Apple or Windows).Īnyway, last month I didn’t write anything on the topic for two reasons.ġ) I had already written two articles on it and I felt like the topic was getting beat to death.
#On1 effects tuturial update
It seems there was a software update that broke it for some folks, but it also seems like there are some workarounds that will get it to work. Last month I saw a ton of questions, Facebook/Twitter posts and just about everything else when Google/Nik stopped working for some people.
