Light leaks in Nik Collection

-

Once you’ve opened up your image in a Nik Collection filter (here, I’ve chosen Analog Efex Pro), the first thing to decide is which style you’d like to start with. In the top left you’ll be presented with a choice of ‘camera types’, such as Vintage, Toy, Classic and Wetplate. I’m going to choose Vintage, then Vintage Camera 1; click to see see the basic preset applied.

On the right-hand side you now have a series of panels to customise your look. From Basic Adjustment­s, I have set Detail Extraction to 30%, Brightness to -15%, Contrast to 10% and Saturation to 35%. Bokeh is unticked. Under Light Leaks, I chose Crisp and then the third down on the left (inset below). You may need to drag the light leak around on your image for the correct placement. Lens Vignette is unticked. For Film Type I selected Subtle, then chose the one in the bottom-left, and set Strength to 50%. I unticked Frames, then clicked Save to finish.
