Nice video Robin. I use "Indian Summer" quite often, for exactly these kind of tweaks. BTW I've just read an old book on the Nik collection which seems to be a semi-official manual by two authors who worked with Nik at the time - "Nik Software Captured". It's about the pre-Google version but most of the information is still valid, especially the explanations of how the tools are intended to be used. (Also the first time I've understood the difference between U-Point technology and Control Points. I used to think they were just synonyms.) I know you do your own books on Nik(and I have 3 of them) but this one is a little different and might be of interest to others who'd like to understand how nik works as well as how to use it.
Thanks for recommending my competitors 😂 There are only a few Nik books on the market and whilst I haven't read this one I believe it had a good reputation. I believe it's still available.
I spend most of my time, at this time of year, riding the moors & woodlands, searching for colour & snapping it as it evolves. It would be so much easier to just do this, but I'd get zero satisfaction from it.
Yes, I agree that it is much more satisfying to capture the woodland colour at it's best in camera. Unfortunately many people don't have the freedom to visit freequently and so need an alternative. I often have people contacting me about when is the best time to photograph the heather but that can easily shift 3-4 weeks each year. It's the same problem with autumn colour if you don't have the time or don't live in the area then it's pot luck.
Have you tried it or is it my explanation that's making it complicated? If you've tried it and still find it too complicated (after a bit of practice) then the Nik Collection may not be the best tool for you.
@@RobinWhalley I still have an older version version of Nik software and use it occasionally but not often. I have found that Capture One Pro does everything I need it to do without creating huge tif files and seems to work more straight forward with its style brushes, layers, and other tools, especially the color balance tool.. Your presentation was not complicated, just all the work needed to create the finish product seems unnecessary to me.

@@jerrydean648 Thanks, I understand. Different tools suit different folk. That's why I like to cover a range here.
