DxO Nik Collection 9 review
Verdict: 4 stars Nik Collection 9 is a deep, powerful and inspirational set of creative plug-ins for photographers. Version 9 adds four new filters, AI masking and Photoshop-style blend modes to make this one of the most comprehensive updates yet.

DxO has just launched Nik Collection 9, and this has to be one of the biggest and best updates yet
I’ve been using the Nik Collection for a long time and I thought DxO had already taken this wonderful plug-in suite as far as it could go… but I was wrong! Nik Collection 9 has some spectacular new filters and masking tools that I will give a full and detailed review. In the meantime, here are the highlights.
