Nik Center Lighten/Darken: One-Click Light Control

Nik Center Lighten/Darken: One-Click Light Control

The point of Nik filters is to help us dial in all kinds of post-processing looks quickly and efficiently.

Today's Nik Center Lighten/Darken filter can transform a photo's lighting with one click. Thomas uses it extensively in his landscape work, and it's also one of Russian portrait master Sean Archer's signature tricks!

If you're new to Nik Color Efex Pro 4, I recommend reading the tutorial "Nik Color Efex Pro Plugin User Guide" first — it also includes the Nik plugin download link.
