I purchased the NIK 3 Collection mainly for the new plug in, Perspective Effects and the non destructive editing features on the other Plug ins. My version of NIK 3 is launched directly from DXO Photo Lab 3 on computers running windows 10. Perspective Effects seems to work exactly as described in the videos and webinars now available and taking place with one exception.

DXO Support has confirmed that the SAVE box in the lower right portion of the NIK Perspective Effects screen does NOT appear. To Save your Tiff file from Perspectives Effects, you have to click on an icon (it looks like a symbol for a port) near the left side of the TOP Toolbar in the plug in. This will allow you to save the file. You will have to enter the exact file folder where you want the tiff file to go as the Plug In does NOT automatically choose the file folder where the original image is located.

The other NIK 3 plug ins that I have tried on my computers all launched from DXO PL3 all seem to have the save box feature in the lower right portion of the screen.

All of the webinars I have been on have launched NIK Collection 3 Perspective Effects from Lightroom or Photoshop. In these situations the Save box does appear at the bottom right of the screen.

I have never used any other tool like Perspective Effects before as I am not a LR or PS user so I have nothing to compare it to. It seems to do the job as advertised.

If you need the non destructive editing feature for the other plug ins, that can be a real plus.
