I spent a few minutes this weekend playing with Analog Efex Pro. This plug-in allows you to fine-tune every little pixel to develop professional-grade images. It would be easy to dismiss Analog Efex Pro to be just another photographic filter software. You can pretty tweak each everything very quickly. Compare that to applying Gaussian Blur in Photoshop. It is quite easy to use yet it is extremely powerful. The screenshot above shows the motion & zoom blur feature. Here are some examples of the included tools: Best of all – it does not take very long to learn.
Once you start digging in, you will be amazed about the powerful options Analog Efex Pro provides. I would anticipate most people using a mixture of both approaches (that’s what I do). If you are more experienced you use the library of impressive tools such as lens distortion, bokeh, lens scratches, wet plate effects and film frames. You can use Analog Efex Pro in three different ways: The easiest and fastest option is to apply one of the many pre-configured presets.
The interface is nicely structured with presets on the left and a panel for detailed adjustments on the right. Just like the other NIK Collection plug-ins, you can easily launch Analog Efex Pro from Lightroom. Even better – Google just released a new tool and it’s called Analog Efex Pro and it aims to give your photographs the look and feel of traditional film cameras and dark room techniques. It is now priced at USD 149 for all seven plug-ins. Also, they drastically lowered the price for the entire collection. On the contrary, Google keeps enhancing the package and they just released a completely new plug-in. Some people thought that this would be the end of NIK. In a somewhat stunning move, Google acquired NIK in early 2013.
