It doesn’t just replicate lofty, arcane processes from the past, but novelty cameras, cheap lenses and lo-fi accessories.

Having said that, Analog Efex Pro’s rivals can be used as standalone programs, some have their own photo browsing/organising tools and some even offer non-destructive editing.Īnalog Efex Pro organises its presets into a range of categories that give some indication as to it scope, including Classic Camera, Black and White, Colour Cast, Motion, Wet Plate, Subtle Bokeh, Double Exposure, Toy Camera, Vintage Camera and Multi-lens. There are rival tools which are aimed at a similar audience, such as Skylum Luminar, ON1 Photo RAW 2020 and in particular Exposure X5, but they don’t offer Analog Efex Pro’s depth, complexity and potential. Like the other Nik plug-ins, Analog Efex Pro 2’s tools are unchanged in this new version, but you do get ten new “En Vogue” presets. These can range from relatively simple adjustments to tone, contrast and detail extraction, to elaborate vintage effects using simulated wet plate emulsions, toning, digital bokeh, light leaks and scratches.Īs with the other Nik Collection plug-ins, once you’ve created a ‘look’ you like, you can save it as a preset and apply it to other images with a single click. You might not like all of the presets, but with the power and scope available, you’ve no excuse for not creating some wonderful looks of your own. The range of effects you can achieve is spectacular. How it worksĪnalog Efex Pro has not changed since this review was first written, so although the text is updated, the screenshots and samples are from previous versions.Īnalog Efex Pro may not have changed significantly in a long time, but that hardly matters. Analog Efex Pro 2 works by combining a number of different filter effects into preset looks, or ‘Cameras’ – but you can very easily create your own. If you don’t want the fuss and you’re happy with regular ‘destructive’ editing, you can still work with regular JPEG and TIFF images. It means working with some pretty large double-size TIFF files, but they contain both the original image, the edited version and the Analog Efex Pro editing instructions, so you can pick up where you left off and re-edit your images without having to start again. It hasn’t really had any significant changes since DxO took over the Nik Collection, and while Analog Efex Pro is unchanged in the latest DxO Nik Collection 3, it does benefit from DxO’s new non-destructive workflow using the ‘multipage’ TIFF format. You can select a preset look and stop there, select a preset and then modify its adjustments, or start from a blank canvas and choose your own filters and effects. It follows the same principle as the rest by offering a selection of preset image effects which are constructed using individual components like film effects, borders, vignettes and more. And, if you’re into retro effects, it’s the most interesting. There are other good vintage/analog tools out there, but none that go as far as Analog Efex Pro.Īnalog Efex Pro 2 is the newest of the Nik Collection plug-ins and the only one added by Google. Analog Efex Pro2 goes way beyond most analog photography filters, offering not just film styles, grain effects and borders, but creative vignetting, bokeh, lens blur, lens distortion, double-exposures, motion blur and more to simulate a huge variety of ‘old camera’ looks.
