But for regular day-to-day editing it feels too laborious and error-prone to me.īut thanks again for the info. It sounds to me like this could be a workable procedure for a special file that you’re printing, for example. (Maybe a virtual copy could help? But then that would be another file to manage.) Otherwise, you won’t get back to the same point as you previously were when you get back into CEP.

And after you’ve been through the process once you have to be careful not to make any further changes with PL2.

If I understand all this correctly it sounds like there’s a lot of manual work including the need to remember which. In some cases, that could be a good thing but in other cases could lead to extra unwanted files. And now you have two versions of the fully edited file (TIFF).

You can make further edits non-destructively but will then have to manually update the recipe and export it again. At this point, you’re back where you were the last time you edited this file. Then, you have to manually import the previously saved recipe (.NP file) and apply it. This step assumes that the PL2 raw file settings have not been changed after the session with Nik Color Efex Pro. To then do further editing non-destructively you have to abandon your TIFF file and pick up with the previously edited raw file (and its associated. Then you can save the TIFF file with the embedded Nik edits. Then you have to export the recipe to a separate file. First, once you’ve completed your initial edits you have to manually create a recipe in Nik and save it. It does sound to me like it is possible to implement a completely non-destructive workflow with PL2 & Nik but that it’s a manual process.

I walked part of the way through your process on my PC and I think I understand it. I have to say, though, that it’s pretty obscure and, personally, I don’t think I’m persuaded. This is important information that could affect the decision of which product is preferred. – Apply some refinements and repeat the steps described above. – At this point I’m at the same stage as the last edit I made previously in CEP – Import the related Nik sidecar/.np file (containing corrections with U-point info) - and apply them to the image exported from PL – Export to CEP from PL (via 16-bit TIFF is best) – Open the image in PL (all PL corrections will be applied from the sidecar file) For example, if I just want to re-do some of the CEP corrections then I can I can, therefore, restart at any point in my correcting process. – ImageName.np … all CEP’s correcttions - including U-point details – ImageName.dop … all PL’s corrections - including Local Adjustments

Then I click to Export this recipe to a Nik sidecar.np file

When I’ve completed my work within CEP I go to the Custom Recipes panel and I hold down the Shift-key while clicking “ Update this recipe with the current settings” - This saves all corrections you’ve applied within CEP and by holding down the Shift-key all Control-point details are saved too.

If the image needs a bit more work then I Export to Color Efex Pro (CEP) via an intermediate TIFF Initial processing in PL (complete with automatic lens corrections applied by PL’s Optics Module for the unique body+lens combo used) - with tweaking using PL’s Local Adjustments (U-points, etc)Īll the corrections applied within PL are saved to a sidecar/.dop file - So, if I later re-open the same RAW file then all its related corrections will be re-applied.

This enables a completely non-destructive approach - from PL thru to Nik (and back again to either of the intermediate points). One point, tho - You say: Īs you point out earlier, the PL corrections/edits are stored in a sidecar/.dop file - So, you can always come back and re-do any of the corrections you applied within PL - and then Export again to, say, Nik Color Efex Pro and re-do your corrections therein.ĪND, within Color Efex Pro you can save all your corrections INCLUDING those made via U-points to a Nik sidecar.np file - so that you can come back at anytime and re-apply the same corrections from within the Nik tool. Hi David - Thanks for pointing us to your article … Most interesting !
