Merge your images

Great HDR images begin with multiple photos of the same subject, all taken with different exposures using a camera’s bracketing function.

Nik HDR Efex does all the calculations and takes out the effort of merging multiple exposures to produce dramatic HDR photos that are both stunning and natural-looking.

Capture professional-quality
photographs, full of detail

Nik HDR Efex will take your photography to another level.

In this real estate photo, by balancing interior and exterior light, the image feels natural and gives viewers a sense of what lies beyond the windows.

A quick and easy way to create HDR images.

CAPTURED LANDSCAPES

Works brilliantly on single images

Sometimes you might want that HDR look but only have one image to work with.

The advanced tone-mapping algorithm in Nik HDR Efex expands the dynamic range of a single image to give that HDR feel.

It’s the perfect tool for adding drama to your favorite landscape shots.

UPDATED IN NIK 7

Giving you absolute precision

Nik HDR Efex uses Nik Collection’s U Point technology to give you complete control over every part of your image.

U Point technology’s unique selection tools for local adjustments can be used to apply changes — exposure, contrast, saturation — exactly where you want them.

And in version 7, selections become even more powerful with ellipses, polygons, and luminosity masks.
