Practical and Informative - Highly Recommend!
By Anthony
Photography is just a hobby of mine, but I strive to create images just as stunning as professional photographers like John Batdorff. I've had the Nik plug-ins for about a year now, but my understanding and use of them has not been very complete. This book is providing me with a wealth of information for not only how I can more effectively utilize the many capabilities found within Nik plugins, but also how I can improve my workflow and overall photographic approach when working with images.
The book provides practical step-by-step instructions that will get you started in using all of the Nik plug-ins (Dfine, Viveza 2, Color Efex Pro 4, Silver Efex Pro 2, HDR Efex Pro 2, and Sharpner). By registering your book with Peachpit, you are also able to download additional resources in which you can better practice the recommendations made by Batdorff in the book. By being able to apply the effects to the exact same images Batdorff uses in the book, I've gained a much better understanding of the plugins and how they work.
In addition to the easy to follow tutorials, what I'm really appreciating most about the book is the personal insight Batdorff gives the reader about not only using the software, but also how one can better understand the art of photography itself. Learning how to properly approach elements such as noise reduction and sharpening when working with images has been very useful and will no doubt improve the quality and overall satisfaction I feel with the shots I create in the future.
At this point I am about half-way through the book and I already feel much more empowered as a photographer. I think anyone who's looking to improve themselves as a photographer will be greatly served by the contents of this book.

This Book Might Teach You Something
By BostonAaron
This book represents the cheapest printed solution that might work to replace the missing manual not supplied by the software creator. If you are looking for some basic starting points on how to use the NIK tools this book will be of some value but, in truth, to really understand the major plug-ins the book would have to be much longer. In fact, Color Efex Pro 4, HDR Efex Pro 2 and Silver Efex Pro 2 each might require a book of this length (about 200 pages of pictures and text). For more in depth discussion of these tools try Jason Odell's luminescentphoto web site where he offers more examples in his e-books, each about 200 pages and each about the price of this book. And his books are not printed, so if you want to print them in color the total cost will be much, much higher than this book.
I assume that most who buy this book already have at least one of the NIK software plug-ins. If you do then you probably already know that last September Google bought NIK software, presumably to get their SnapSeed software, an Instagram like competitor. The author mentions this purchase in his introduction, but doesn't seem to have any additional insight as to how this will effect support for the NIK software packages. Hopefully NIK will continue to support these excellent plug-ins but, as some have pointed out elsewhere, NIK has already stopped selling NIK plug-ins for use with Nikon's Capture NX; not a good sign.
I knew that there would be some issues with this book, when the author, on page 2, tells me that my camera's sensor "is made up of thousands of photosensitive pixels". Really. He probably hasn't heard of the mega pixel wars; 8 MP, 12 MP, 16 MP and now even 24 MP or 36 MP are becoming standard on many types of cameras. He is off by a factor of one thousand, which is indeed huge. My cameras are made up of millions of photosensitive pixels. This should have been caught in the editing. But this is a mere quibble; it's the printing that I really object to. It's not that the pictures are too small (maybe they are) but they are printed on a paper that makes it really hard to see the improvements the author has generated. The before and after pictures are not all that different when I believe that they really are that different based on my use of this software. When Scott Kelby's books can show differences I know it's technically possible and when I look in his books I see vivid prints, not like the ones in this book. Oh Well.
The author does offer some suggestions on using this software. Try and visualize what you want before randomly trying presets is certainly a good idea. And if you have some of these software packages, or are thinking of buying them, this book will provide some idea of what to do with them. You might also try out the packages free for a while to see if you like them. But I wish he had emphasized shortcuts more in his illustrations. He does list Viveza keyboard shortcuts on page 46-47, including my favorite: In Windows you can duplicate a control point (U-point technology) by alt-dragging an existing point to a different location, a feature I learned before I read the book.
So in summary, this book contains a well written quick printed summary of the features of the NIK software and can help someone just starting out with these plug-ins. For more in depth discussion, look elsewhere.

If you own NIK software, this book is for you!
By Kevin P Girard
I just finished `reading' "PLUG IN with NIK" by John Batdorff. Reading isn't quite the correct word, because with this book, you'll quickly want to be "doing" - that is, following along with its examples and your very own copies of NIK plug-ins (don't worry if you don't have them all yet, this book is great even if you only have one plug-in)! I was able to read the first couple chapters, but then got so excited by all the potential John reveals that I had to put the book down and jump on the computer and try it myself. Originally, I had a paperback copy, but I'd highly recommend downloading the e-reader version. It was very useful in e-reader format, because I could use both hands for the computer and not need to hold the book open. It also addresses many of the issues others have mentioned about the images in the book - they are *DEFINITELY* clearer in the Kindle version.
This book is organized very well, such that each chapter is completely self-contained. That means that if you only own one of the NIK Plug-Ins you won't have to read multiple chapters to get everything you need. You can read just the chapter you need. Lest you think that you wouldn't buy a book for just a single chapter, I can assure you, you'll need the rest of those chapters...someday soon! After seeing John's workflow, and following his easy-to-use examples (with accompanying unedited photo downloads), you'll be buying other NIK tools. I wandered into a few of the chapters for tools I don't have and those tools quickly made my birthday present/father's day list!
Throughout the book, Mr. Batdorff shows you, in an easy, step-by-step manner, how he uses powerful features in the NIK suite to bring about his vision for a particular photograph. The before and after difference in the example photographs is striking! His explanations are clear, and the information he provides unleashes the power of NIK and makes photo editing fun. Further, the book is written for all levels of photographer, so you'll surely find tips and tricks in this book that will make your images POP! whether you're a hobbyist or aspiring Pro. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, and have since bought two more NIK tools. Combined with the know-how in this book, Mr. Batdorff and NIK have allowed me to take my hobby of creating stunning photographs to a whole new level.
