This corrects size deformities at a photo’s edges - for example, in a group photo, people placed on the edges will appear wider than those in the center, and simple lens correction doesn’t fix this.Ĭompared to adjusting perspective in Lightroom, the Perspective Efex plug-in did a better job handling objects at the edges of the image, which retained more of their natural shape. However, the volume deformation tool is unique. The perspective tool helps correct lens distortion using a lens profile, but similar functionality already exists within Lightroom.


The Nik Collection now includes eight plug-ins, with the new Perspective Efex joining the exiting Define (noise reduction), Viveza (color tool), HDR Efex Pro, Color Efex, Analog Efex Pro, Silver Efex Pro, and Sharpener. We tested the Nik Collection with Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom Classic, but it is also compatible with Lightroom CC, Photoshop Elements, DxO PhotoLab, Serif Affinity Photo, On1 Photo RAW, and any application that’s compatible with Adobe Photoshop plug-ins.
