Powerful Selective Tool (Adobe® Photoshop® only) Unique among photographic filter software on the market today, the Color Efex Pro 3.0 Selective Tool allows you to quickly and easily brush any filter effect into your image. Layers and masks are created automatically, so you are free to create and experiment unfettered. Smart Filter Compatibility (Adobe® Photoshop® only) Color Efex Pro 3.0 is Smart Filter compatible which allows you to go back and "fine tune" images even after effects have been applied. Multi-image Support (Lightroom® & Aperture™ only) Color Efex Pro 3.0 is compatible with Lightroom & Aperture’s ability to work on multiple images at once. When more than one image is opened, "Previous" and "Next" buttons appear that allow photographers to easily copy and paste settings between images to maintain consistency. Color Efex Pro 3.0 Interface (Capture NX 2 from Nikon Corporation) Color Efex Pro 3.0 has been integrated into Nikon’s flagship image editing application Capture NX 2. For example, where U Point® technology has been incorporated into the plug-in for Photoshop and Aperture (to allow precise selective control over filter enhancements), Capture NX 2 already has the ability to selectively apply enhancements via U Point powered selection control points. This makes for a more seamless experience, and fits well with the photography-centric feature set and non-destructive workflow of Capture NX 2. This tight integration dramatically simplifies the art of enhancing images and offers photographers a complete photo editing solution.
