Thanks to its 32-bit engine, HDR Efex Pro 2 offers lots of creative options for surreal and natural renderings, because you can correct the resulting image globally and selectively using from Control Points. With the HDR Efex Pro 2 module, you can stitch and merge images with different exposure settings to expand their dynamic range, giving you the ability to reproduce the darkest and brightest tones in the same image. The new Nik 6 HDR Efex will be available in Nik Collection version 6.3. I hope they give you a good idea of the range of effects available with Analog Efex Pro, and how easy it is to create, modify and share custom presets of your own.HDR Efex Pro 2 is being updated with the new interface and features of Nik Collection 6. Here’s a quick overview of the eight presets I created for this tutorial. There doesn’t seem any way to move presets between the Imported and Custom panels, but that hardly matters since they work in the same way wherever they’re stored. Imported presets are all displayed in the Imported panel. Now just locate the folder where the presets are stored, select them all (they have an ‘.np’ file extension on my Mac) and click the Open button. It’s at the top of the sidebar here, but that’s because the panel is expanded ready to receive the imported presets – normally, the Imported panel is collapsed and at the bottom of the sidebar. To import these presets (or any others), click the ‘+’ button (circled) alongside the Imported panel heading in the left sidebar.

Just click on the download link below, unzip the file and then follow the instructions in the next step. It’s just as easy to import presets, and you can find out for yourself by downloading the presets I’ve exported.
Each preset file is only around 5 kilobytes in size, and that’s because they’re simply a set of processing instructions. The export takes just a couple of moments. When you press this button, Analog Efex Pro prompts you to choose a location on your computer to save the presets to. To export my presets for sharing with other people, I need to press the Export All button (circled) at the bottom of the custom presets panel.
The main window shows the ‘Cyanotype’ preset applied to a still life image. You use custom presets just as you use those that come built in – they’re simply stored in a separate panel. Here are eight custom presets I’ve created while I’ve been writing this series, displayed in the Custom panel in the left sidebar.

In this part I’m going to show how to save presets you’ve created as external files you can share with other people – and how to import presets sent to you by others by downloading the free Analog Efex Pro presets I’ve created to go with this mini-series. Part 1 looked at Analog Efex Pro basics and how to apply preset effects, part 2 explained the Camera Kit and how to create effects of your own and part 3 showed how to create, save and work with your own Analog Efex Pro custom presets. This was written for the first version of Analog Efex Pro, but the tools and presets still apply for the latest DxO version. Note: Following many requests, I’m republishing this article with the download link restored but the content unchanged. It joins the existing plug-ins in the Nik Collection, now owned and distributed by DxO. Welcome to the fourth and final part of this mini-series on Google’s brand new film and camera simulation plug-in, Analog Efex Pro.
