NIK Collection 4 also offers some improvements in workflow. The Last Edit function, which lets users re-apply the last preset they used in one of the Nik Collection plugins while using Adobe Photoshop, has been extended to include Adobe Lightroom Classic.

It's a big leap over the earlier versions, and I think is going to be useful to many power users. Nik Collection 4 comes with a series of 10 Meta Presets. They make it possible to edit photos by applying a series of presets from several plugins in just one click. These presets are Adobe Photoshop actions that combine the filters and settings of several Nik Collection plugins into one.

The latest version also offers what are called Meta Presets. The NIK Collection contains more than 250 presets and has some improvements in its unique U Point local adjustment feature, which lets you select parts of an image without masking.

Since then, DxO has actively improved the software suite, and it's being used by a lot of pros and serious amateurs. The popular NIK Collection came back from the dead when DxO rescued it from Google, which was letting it languish.
