Not sure how useful it is for aviation photography, but it has plenty of nice filters and tools for general photography and I'll be giving some of the tools a go next time I venture to an airport with my camera!

Nice

Beats the hell out of Picasa's rubbish tools.

I am playing around with it. I like some of the results...

Nik's tools are really cool.

I worked in the same office building as Nik Software a few years ago, and thus got the opportunity to test their stuff. Really liked HDR Efex and Silver Efex. The Sharperner tool is nice as well, though I don't find the results much better than Photoshop's.

Used Color Efex on these 2:


Mainly worked the contrast on this one. Taken on the rainy ramp tour last week. The light conditions were challenging to say the least, but "Contrast Only" gets surprisingly many details out of the shot.


I played with "Details Extractor" on this one, to enhance the reflections on the fuselage. Downside is, the background gets quite strong as well. I could avoid that using control points, but did not have the patience to do it.

4 shots, taken by 4 photographers within a split second.

Guess which one has been processed with Nik filters
