Basic Adjustments Image: Jad Limcaco on Unsplash Camera KitĪs its name indicates, the Camera Kit located in the left panel lets you design your own camera in Nik Analog Efex, using or combining the different effects described below. When using the Vary button, whenever you find a look and adjustments that you like, you can save a custom preset. Every time you click on this button, it will make slight adjustments to the various cursors, but without altering the effects applied, for example a type of scratch or type of film (which you can always change yourself in the sections displayed). The Vary button is a simple way of changing or adjusting the settings proposed by the effect applied, in small increments and with no effort on your part. When you apply a Camera Kit effect or a Camera preset, an array of tools are displayed in the right panel. You will find more information on the Basic Adjustment and Camera Kit tools in the section describing the Camera Kit effects. These corrections may be applied across the whole image or selectively, using the control points.Įach time you add a Camera Kit or Camera effect, the associated tools will be displayed in the form of palettes, after the Standard Settings palette. It is used to make basic corrections to tonality (brightness and contrast), color saturation and detail extraction. The Standard Settings section is always shown when you open an image in Nik Analog Efex, and is displayed regardless of the effect of the Camera Kit or the camera applied to the image. No corrections, no camera kit effects are applied at this stage. When you open an image in Nik Analog Efex, it appears as it is in the host-app or as it is on the hard disk, if you are using standalone mode.
