The package has had a bumpy history, but I am confident that under the ownership of DxO, the filters will progress and modernise. In my opinion, there has never been any set of photographic filters that are as comprehensive and accurate as of the NiK Collection. The Nik Collection 2.3 by DxO has forever been my favourite plugin suite. The Nik Collection 2.3 filters work as a plugin for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Photoshop Elements and DxO Photolab. PhotoLab is a great product, but the latest version appears to need more-than-usual processing power to get much use of the deepPRIME feature.Īdded: Or at least, a newer more powerful CPU than the one I have now even though it has had no issues up to now.DxO recently released an update to it’s magnificent Nik Collection 2.3 set of filters. I am writing this as a bit of a warning to other users in this forum. I won't even try it on my older hand-me-down Surface 3 tablet. But for long-term use, you’re much better off keeping things below 80☌ in general and only pushing up to 85☌ at the most."Īlthough I like the interface changes made to PhotoLab 4 and the DeepPRIME feature, I think I'll pass on it until I get a new desktop or rebuild this one again.

But the overheating of all four cores in my CPU occurred in both the DeepPRIME exports (88, 91, 90, 88 deg. PRIME in PhotoLab 4 seems a bit better that the PhotoLab 3 version and the DeepPRIME version was the best, somewhat less noise and slightly sharper. First in PhotoLab 3 with PRIME turned on, then in PhotoLab 4 with PRIME, and finally in PhotoLab 4 with DeepPRIME. This morning I ran a test with two of my old nightclub photos taken on my K20D (now long gone) shot in 2010 at 6400 ISO. On exporting the photo to disk the CPU cores started to overheat, at one point all four of them. Last night I processed a photo in PhotoLab 4 with DeepPRIME turned on. Initially it had 8 GB which I increased to 16 GB a few years ago when Adobe improved Lightroom's performance in a new release.

Since then I have been using Lightroom, Photoshop, DxO Optics Pro and PhotoLab, and the Nik collection without any issues. I am working on a desktop which I rebuilt in 2012 with an Intel i5-2380P CPU.

Yesterday I installed the trial version of PhotoLab 4 to try it out before upgrading. I have been using DxO products for years.
