I have been waitng seemingly forever for this new release from Nik Software. I absolutely love their products and literally use them every day. Every image I take gets touched by at least one piece of NIK software. The biggest “problem” with sharpener has been the size of the image that could be seen while you were working. It was very small and while you could enlarge to 100% and beyond it was still quite hard to see what was going on. All better now! Taking the same UI as Dfine and the filters it really gives you an ample workspace. I also love that all of the filters dock together and I can NIK whatever needs “Niking” all at once.
I say it is must own software. Here is what NIK has to say about their latest technological marvel. OK those were my words and now here is theirs:
