Part 1 looked at Analog Efex Pro basics and how to apply preset effects, part 2 explained the Camera Kit and how to create effects of your own and part 3 showed how to create, save and work with your own Analog Efex Pro custom presets. This was written for the first version of Analog Efex Pro, but the tools and presets still apply for the latest DxO version. Note: Following many requests, I’m republishing this article with the download link restored but the content unchanged.

The first is the image shown in the screen shot above, while the second was processed using the Classic Camera module and then fading that by 50% on the resulting layer. While I haven’t used Analog Efex that much since it installed, below are two final images run through the software. If you are a Nik Collection owner, go open your plugins and have a go with Analog Efex. There are literally thousands of combinations you can do for your own unique look. The plugin also has a ‘camera kit’ option, which gives you full access to everything the plugin can do, and allows you to mix and match effects to your desire and create any look you want.

Unfortunately, for Windows users, the update wasn’t perfectly executed, with many (myself included) having a curious error appear when launching Photoshop, about a missing DLL file. The new plugin is free to all owners of the Nik Collection, and if it hasn’t auto updated on your machine, it should appear there soon.
