Switchboard is open 09:00-11:00 and 12:00-15:00
On 31 May 2016 a DeHavilland DH-82A Tiger Moth was, during landing, substantially damaged in the area of the left main undercarriage mounting.
The aircraft was established on final to the grasshoulder beside the runway. On a Tiger Moth, the pilot has limited forward view when the aircraft nose is raised before landing. The pilot in command was blinded due to low sun on the horizon just before touchdown. The aircraft came in a little low and the airspeed dropped. This caused the left main wheel to hit an asphalt edge to a taxiway with substantial force.
This report is in Norwegian only.
No safety recommendation is issued in connection with this investigation.

March 11, 2007
(CBS 11 News) A terrorist plot, a group of geniuses, and a deadline… if it sounds like the stuff of movies, it is. The brains behind "The Genius Club" are actually several north Texans.
It's not your average day at the office for Jacob Bonnema. Jacob is part of a father-son duo, that's thinking about the box office. Their movie, "The Genius Club" directed by Tim Chey opens September 15th.
"The movie is about, if you knew you had six hours to live, 27 minutes to live. What would be going through your mind?" said producer, Arch Bonnema.
Arch is the producer of the film, his son Jacob is one of the stars. Their day job is running Joshua Financial in Plano.
For the newcomers it was another big screen venture that showed them the way movies can move an audience and spark dialogue. For the Bonnema's it was "The Passion of the Christ."
"We went out and bought out 22 screens from Cinemark for opening day, for 6:30 in the morning, to have people come out and see it," Arch said.
Then they read Tim Chey's script of "The Genius Club." It depicts a terrorist threat in Washington that brings together seven geniuses, with an apocalyptic mandate: to solve the world's problems by morning.
"I think that this movie has tact, poise, and it has an intellectual battle that's so exciting to watch," Jacob said.
Actors Stephen Baldwin and Tom Sizemore agreed the script was good, and joined the cast.
"It's got a message of hope, and it's very intriguing, and engaging. It's going to make you think," Baldwin said.
The Bonnema's shot the movie in three weeks in February, for less than 10 million dollars. So far, theatres across Texas and Oklahoma plan to show it.
For Arch Bonnema, it is a drastic departure from the world of corporate trusts, but this investment, he says, is a personal one. "I wanted a movie to make people think. Just to find out what really is important when it gets down to the end?"
CBS 11 News did a story on Arch Bonnema several weeks ago. It was about his trek to Iran to search for Noah's Ark. Arch says his next film will be a documentary on that expedition.

Hello All. Sorry for being MIA lately. Life has been very busy for me, and I have really been enjoying it, but it can be hard sometimes. My photographer when on vacation to Ireland, and I wish she would have packed me in her suitcase so I could have gotten some awesome photos and experienced all the pubs in a beautiful part of Ireland. Her trip sounded like a dream, and I know that I have to visit sooner than later. Anyhow, I am here to tell you about this chic-ing fabulous light pink delight sweater I got from Forever21.
It was a total bargain and the material is super soft and is good quality. When shopping for sweater, I always look for quality. I don't enjoy when my sweaters start pilling, because it makes the sweater look in bad shape, and honestly it is so not attractive. If you don't know what pilling is– pilling is small balls of fiber that form on a piece of clothing. I know this sweater won't have that problem, because I chose wisely this time. I also decided to wear my white jeans after labor day. Seriously is that really a thing? I think white is good for anytime of the year. Not only do I think that wearing white is good for any time of the year. I also think my new necklace from "Nymph In The Woods" is perfect for any day. I received two unique necklaces from the Nymph In The Woods Collection, and they are a beauty. I am only showing you one at the this moment, but I think you will love the style and design of both necklaces. The one I am showing today is a light pink color surrounded by silver wire wrapping. The intricate detailing on this necklace is great, and I love the packaging they came in. The way they are created is through the use of glass. The glass is then layered into different designs and then kiln-fired to perfection. After the glass is fired, the wire wrapping starts to happen, and that is really when the intricate design really comes in to effect. Wire wrapping is not easy, and the detailing is just amazing. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's something you couldn't learn over night. I love that not one necklace is the same and they are a one of a kind piece of art. Nymph In The Woods also creates one of a kind earrings too that are unique and gorgeous.
Nymph In The Woods– Use Code: FAROUTHOLIDAY10 for 10% off your purchase. Promotion ends December 10th.
P.S. Can't wait to show you my other necklace. Gifts like this are what people really love the holidays.
As always, thank you for reading.

Oppo Find X in 60 seconds
Oppo's flagship handset has a camera that automatically rises out of the phone
We took a look at Oppo's Find X, a smartphone with super-thin bezels -- because the entire camera system, both front and back, is mounted on a module that automatically slides out of the phone when needed. It's not the first time we've seen something like it. The Vivo NEX also did sometime similar, but only put the selfie camera on a small pop-up module. The Find X also has a 3D face scanning system like the iPhone X, a curved screen like the Samsung Galaxy S9, and a colorful gradient back like Huawei's P20 Pro.

If you don't go to church because you don't feel like you fit in, you're not alone! A She Blossoms reader recently asked for tips on finding a church that is friendly, accepting, and loving.
"What do you do when you just do not fit in at your church?" she asked on How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Other Christians. "I have been at my church for over 20 years. I have taken classes, participated in ministries, volunteered. People seem nice and friendly but don't invite me to social events. Before my divorce I thought I was finally making some headway. But then my marriage fell apart and I was dropped. Should I look for another home church and start fresh?"
Do you feel like you don't fit in at church? I confess that I'm a bit of a church hopper, even though church is an important way for me to worship and follow Jesus Christ in more meaningful ways. My husband and I have attended five churches in 13 years of marriage, which means we go to a new church every few years. Not fitting in at church is a small part of the reason we keep moving around…there are bigger issues we struggled with.
When I asked my She Blossoms Facebook Group what they do when they feel like they're not fitting in with other Christians, I receive a variety of honest and interesting answers. Here's a slice of what my group members said, plus a few tips for fitting in at church…
What to Do When You Don't Fit in at Church
When we left one of my favorite churches – Capilano Christian Community in Vancouver – we had an "exit interview" with one of my favorite pastors. It was so cool; he took us out for coffee, asked us to share our thoughts on the church, and blessed us.
We left that church because it moved to a new location, which was too far for us to drive. We felt like we fit in fine, even though it was mostly families and we're a childless couple. We really liked the home group, especially because it involved a weekly dinner! I loved eating together.
Even though I tend to change churches regularly, I think it's better to stick with a community through the problems and pains. It's not always possible – especially if you feel like you don't fit in – but it's what we're called to do. Even if our fellow church going Christians aren't as friendly, warm, or inclusive as we'd like. Here are a few thoughts from my She Blossoms readers. Feel free to share your own thoughts below; I'd love to hear how you cope with not fitting in at church.
1. Figure out why you feel like you don't fit in
"If you're not involved in your church and don't get to know people, how do you expect them to know what you need?" asks DS.
"When people go to church once in awhile for an hour and then blame the church people for not 'checking up' on them, I feel that's victim mentality. If it's a doctrinal reason, then ask the pastor for clarification on what you don't understand. If you have small children, you may want to look for a church with a great kids program."
This is the first and most important thing to do when you don't feel like you fit in at church: ask yourself what your expectations are. What are you looking for? What do you want and need? Be clear on what you're missing in church – or why you feel like you don't fit in. Then, you can start creating what you need.
2. Consider changing churches
"Seriously and prayerfully consider whether you need to change churches," said LJ. "I'm not advocating "church hopping," though. You need to think and pray through why you feel like you don't fit in at your church. My husband and I moved churches three years ago, and I'm so pleased we did. Sadly, he passed away at the end of last year, but I'm really pleased that he was so happy in church for the last few years of his life. We grew in faith I much through good teaching, and I've had such a lot of support since being widowed. We left our old church still in good relationship, which is also important. We had been there about 25 years, so it was a big decision!"
3. Reach out to other Christians
"I attend a Prayer Group at another church and feel I have better connections with them," says MK. She added that she and her group are particularly focused on finding ways to stop being critical Christians.
"I blame myself for not connecting with people at my home church. I think I should be a little more outgoing, get involved and be friendlier. I'm polite and any conversation is usually just a greeting. I'm loyal by nature so I continue to go to the church I've been attending for over 30 years. When I was away for six weeks this past winter, no one enquired why I was absent. Well, one man always notices when I am not there, but he was absent on my first Sunday back."
4. Get involved in the church's activities
Try to get more involved," says SN. "Ask what activities and programs they have. Like a sewing group, feeding shut ins, or after school club. Or, start your own thing! You'll find other people who don't feel like they fit in at church. If all fails find a different church."
5. Join a home, small, or community group
"My church is great, but I was feeling like the only single person there," says BD. "It is hard to fit in with married couples, especially at my age. We had small groups that met throughout the week. That was a good way to get to know people. I could talk about my life, etc., and they would listen and offer help and support and prayer. Then the group became too large and filled with married retired people. I just didn't feel like I belonged with the group as much. I know if I went back they would be very glad to see me, but I just can't seem to make myself go."
6. Remember why you go to church
"Just going to church without relating to other Christians is what I DO NOT like about church," says DB. "The reason to go to church is to be with others who love the Lord as we do, and to worship together. It helps us to feel not alone, and happy that others are like us, and realize that we are one body in Christ! We need to be with other Christians, and talk with them and offer help if needed. Sometimes just listening is very helpful."
7. Be honest with other Christians about how you feel
Have you talked to other believers about not fitting in at church? It can be easy to think we're the only ones who feel a certain why. Then we start talking about how we feel and what we think, and we find others feel the same way. If you can't share how you honestly feel about your church, then you're in the wrong community! Find at least one person to talk to. Don't carry this burden alone.
Your thoughts – big and little – are welcome below.
With His love,
P.S. If not fitting in at church is affecting your relationship with Jesus, read A Simple Way to Return to God.

Managing ESRD Patients: One ACO Shares Its Strategy
Managing patients with chronic diseases has been a big focus for many accountable care organizations, since those patients traditionally use healthcare facilities more often than patients with no chronic disease.
Some chronic diseases require more management, meaning patients see specialists more often than others. Patients with end stage renal disease, for example, typically are healthcare super-users. "ESRD patients are amongst the most needy and the highest cost patients in the population," says Jonathan Gluck, senior executive with Heritage Provider Network, which runs the Heritage California ACO, a Pioneer ACO based in Northridge, Calif.
In fact, nationwide, ESRD patients make up only 1.3 percent of Medicare patients but account for 7.5 percent of annual Medicare spending, according to the United States Renal Data System's 2012 report.
The high-use, high-cost nature of ESRD patient care is why Heritage decided to partner with Waltham, Mass.-based Fresenius Medical Care, the nation's largest provider of kidney care services, to provide integrated care management of the ACO's ESRD patients.
Talks between Heritage and Fresenius began in 2012, and the partnership formally began Jan. 1, at the start of the 2013 Pioneer ACO performance year.
How it worksVery broadly, Fresenius nephrologists have signed up to be part of Heritage's ACO, so ESRD patients going to area Fresenius nephrologists are attributed in the ACO model to Heritage. Then, the two groups work together to coordinate the care of the ESRD patients, whether the care is provided in a Heritage ACO facility or a Fresenius facility.
"We're good at managing inpatient hospital care and getting excellent results and quality outcomes," says Mr. Gluck. "Fresenius is good at managing dialysis of ESRD patients. We can use both of our methodologies to bring lower cost, higher quality care to ESRD patients being served by the ACO."
To more closely coordinate care with one another, Heritage ACO gave Fresenius access to its enclosed, self-contained ACO management electronic medical records system, which includes patient data, care management plans and patient communication tools.
Future plansAccording to Mr. Gluck, Heritage ACO is open to "all partnership opportunities" when it comes to managing other chronic disease patient populations. But for now, the ACO is happy with how the partnership with Fresenius is going.
"The partnership is really a model of how ACOs can work best, taking highest need population that can have care significantly improved in coordination and save Medicare significant amounts of money," Mr. Gluck says. "You can take a high cost, difficult to manage population and give them better care through coordination…and at the end of the day provide a better care experience and outcomes for a traditionally hard to manage population."

- Ezugi released Andar Bahar game and Baccarat 3.0 this week.
- The former is a simple, popular Indian card game while their baccarat offering has received some tech updates.
- Ezugi Head of Games Lionel Dardic said: "Andar Bahar is incredibly popular among the meteoric Indian market and we're sure that will be shared around the globe."
Ezugi, a casino software provider of live dealer gaming, has further enhanced its offering with the launch of the well-known Indian game Andar Bahar.
Andar Bahar is available in English and Hindi with dealers behaving as they would in an authentic casino, creating an immersive live experience. The game begins with the dealer producing the first card as a Joker, and then deals a single card to each side of the table—Andar and Bahar—until a card with the same value will be drawn on one of the sides.
You begin the game by betting on whether the Joker card—only the card value is important— will be matched on the Andar or on Bahar side first. Once a card with the same value as a Joker card is drawn on either the Andar or on Bahar the round ends.
There's also a side bet feature where you have the opportunity to predict how many cards will be dealt in a round until the Joker will hit Andar or Bahar. Plus there's inplay statistics on Andar or Bahar results from 100 previous rounds that can guide your decision making.
This brand-new release is complemented by the launch of Baccarat 3.0 which has been built in HTML technology, utilises a revamped UI and is compatible with a variety of platforms, including desktop, mobile landscape and mobile portrait.
Ezugi Head of Games Lionel Dardic said: "Andar Bahar is incredibly popular among the meteoric Indian market and we're sure that will be shared around the globe. Our state-of-the-art live studio delivers an unrivalled immersive experience for players, who will also be able to enjoy a modern twist through our side bet feature."

Tigerville, S.C. - North Greenville split a conference double-header with Belmont Abbey on Wednesday, earning a 2-1 win while falling 5-3 in game two.
The Crusaders struck first in both games with a run in the first inning. The one run lead in game two would hold until the sixth inning when the Crusaders from Belmont Abbey evened the score at 1-1.
North Greenville responded an inning and a half later, capitalizing on a leadoff walk by Emily Murphy, the culmination of a 20-pitch at bat. Traci Howell would come in to run for murphy and would score the winning run two batters later on a throwing error on a batted ball from Morgan Roach.
Greer Killman scored NGU's first run of the game and finished 1-2. Megan Johnson was 1-3 with an RBI while Kate Lee finished 2-3. Carson O'Donald improved to 8-4 on the season as she turned in a complete game performance allowing one earned run on six hits. She struck out seven.
Killman would account for NGU's first run again in game two as she scored on a Megan Johnson sacrifice fly. Killman reached base on a walk and later stole second. She finished game two 1-2 with a walk and two runs scored.
Another run would cross for North Greenville in the third inning on a Chelsea Rivers sac fly. Grace DeBoer scored for North Greenville as the Crusaders took advantage of another leadoff walk, extending the lead to 2-0.
Abbey would have its answer in the fourth inning platting two runs on two hits. The Crusaders also used an NGU error to even the score at 2-2. The two run inning would send the game into extras as neither team could muster any more offense in regulation.
BAC would have its biggest inning of the day in the eighth, plating three runs on three hits. Jena Reisena's double to right field would plate two while Dani Meriett's double would extend Abbey's lead to 5-2, scoring Meriett a batter later.
The Crusaders would answer with a run of their own in the home half of the frame as Kate Lee's two-out double would plate Killman for the second time in the game, and third time of the day.
Lee finished game two 1-4 with an RBI and a double while Morgan Milam was 1-3. Emily Murphy suffered the loss on the mound, giving up three runs in an inning of work.
North Greenville fell to 16-13 overall and 3-3 in league play. The Crusaders will take on Limestone College on March 30th at 2pm in Gaffney, South Carolina.

I just puffed and coughed from the burning sensation that I felt in my chest and lungs. It was awfully painful! One day a friend stole an open pack from his mother and we tried to smoke a real cigarette. I think it was either Benson Hedges or Virginia Slims cigarettes.
One clear end result is that unless you're rich or the Mayor of Glendale, Ariz., the host town for this year's Super Bowl, you're basically cheap nfl jerseys out of luck in terms of getting tickets to the game. Everyday fans are the big losers in all of this. On the other hand, the ticket sellers being wholesale nfl jerseys accused of rigging the game the ones who allegedly held back supply and pushed prices skyward have been cashing in over the past few days..
I committed the worst sin a baseball fan can make: I left a no hitter. It was the Rock Cats vs. Binghamton Mets game last Tuesday night. The political winds in this tiny upper Northumberland County borough of about 2,200 people have blown through his business, taking with them tales of chair throwing, screaming women and cops with guns drawn on one particular morning in the popular eatery. The stories have blown as far as Scranton and Harrisburg, Reynolds said. They have cost him some regular customers and others who fear going into the business..
Asking Her To Prom With Candles First buy a bunch of mini candles (tea candles). They are cheap. Then buy a lighter. I have a log burner (inset type recessed into a proper fireplace) but even then, I make sure the logs are away from the heat. Even worse, I cannot understand people who deliberately remove the batteries from their fire/smoke alarms. Yes, they can be annoying if you burn the toast and have to flap a teatowel at them but rather that than be killed. Carbon Monoxide detectors are brilliant devices. Mine just sits there, every so often a green light flashes to show it's working. Carbon Monoxide The Silent Killer.

Tipton Litterwatch was set up in 1997 to assist local people by supplying information, advice and support on how to report litter problems to the relevant individual, landowner or authority, responsible for clearing it up; making sure they carry out their legal obligations.
A vital part of our charity's work is education and the promotion of environmental awareness. Tipton Litterwatch works to educate members of the public, not only on their environmental rights but also to be more aware themselves of the problems that litter can cause. Our main focus for this lies with educating young minds on many environmental issues. This conducted nominally in Sandwell schools via our environmental education programme 'Think Before You Throw' from 2000-2011 and with our Eco Bus from 2011 to present day! We are also extremely proud to be the founding partner of The Big Spring Clean (link to page) which has recently celebrated its 10th Anniversary year in 2016.
As well as receiving the Queens Award for Voluntary Service we are delighted to be celebrating 20 years making a difference in Sandwell.

Before we discuss the legalities, hurdles, drawbacks, technicalities, and other issues facing the commercial drone concept, let us first take stock of its advantages and the different tasks that drones can be expected to perform. Here is a list of all the advantages of the drone concept in various sectors:
* Agriculture: Drones can be used in this sector for detecting crop-damaging insects and deploying them for accurate pesticide application, instead of spraying an entire field which results in pesticides being applied even where it is not required. This will drastically reduce the quantity of pesticides thereby cutting down costs.
* Security: Drones are already in use by the military for monitoring borders and illegal crossovers, for tracking and apprehending criminals, fugitives and terrorists. It can be deployed by educational institutions to keep an eye on campuses for suspect activities and potential threats and send distress signals in real time to school administrators and law enforcement agencies.
* Search and Rescue Mission: In times of natural disasters like floods, fires, and earthquakes the drone can be very handy in locating people and rescuing them by providing information to rescue teams, day or night. It can be equipped with infrared sensors to locate people in total darkness by their heat signatures.
* Land Surveying: Site surveys can be conducted by drones with greater precision and in less time. It can cover hundreds of acres, take pictures and video, and map elevation changes with state of the art sensors mounted on it. It has the ability to locate water and water flow patterns, detect the presence of different minerals and resources.
* Real Estate: It has the potential to save time and money for listing agents of residential properties by capturing video footages of large properties, and covering areas difficult to access on foot.
* Inspections: It can inspect oil pipelines in remote areas for damages and sabotage. It can be deployed by wind energy engineers to run inspections on wind turbines and related props eliminating the need of heavy lifting equipment and risk to human lives.
* Wedding & Special Events: Aerial photographs of weddings and events like concerts and sporting events.
* Insurance Companies: Insurance companies can send a drone to survey a car accident site, record and report house damages, and take both videos and stills of the scene of the accident or the home damage scene. Claims can be processed much faster this way.
* Special Deliveries: Technology giant Google has given a glimpse of their custom-built drones that have the capability of vertical take- offs and landings and if the need arises, it can switch over to glider or plane mode enabling coverage of greater distances. This will help in the delivery of supplies to reach people in remote areas of the world in quick time.
E-commerce giant Amazon plans to use drones for same-day delivery of parcels/packages under a weight limitation, of course.
* Outdoor Games: Drones can be used to capture videos of games like Golfing, Baseball, Soccer and more. This will not only provide spectacular views of the games to TV audiences but also help coaches and pros to improve their game and strategies.
* Pizzerias: Drones can be used for delivering pizzas to your doorstep. Although some companies have delved into it, it's not yet a roaring success because of certain legal and logistics issues.
According to one report, Anna Tauzin, senior marketing manager for innovation and entrepreneurial services for the National Restaurant Association said, "It's definitely a future that will happen, but as far as when and who's going to be the frontrunner, it really remains to be seen, "
The Domino's Pizza Enterprises in New Zealand has got together with a Nevada-based drone manufacturer Flirtey last August to run tests on a pizza delivery system.
The first test was conducted on a rainy day in August. They were successful in sending pizza from a store to an airfield. However, future tests will be about "store to home delivery" according to Matt Sweeny, CEO of Flirtey.
"New Zealand has the most liberal commercial drone regulations, about one to two years ahead of the U.S.," said Sweeny. After New Zealand, The Domino's and Flirtey team plan to implement similar delivery systems in the Netherlands, Japan , and Australia. "As the drone is hovering outside your house, you step outside, push a button, receive the package, and you're good to go" said the CEO of Flirtey.
As far as the drone delivery business in the U.S. is concerned, the commercial drone laws are a bit more stringent as compared to some other countries. There are speculations that a drone delivery system in the United States may take another couple of years to become a reality.
More than the legislative restrictions the biggest challenge to the commercial drone delivery projects under development by giants like Google, Amazon, and few others would be technology challenges.
While there are many other startups working on the technology, one among them that stands out is Skydio, as their goal is to develop a practical technology. What they are researching and working on, is an independent navigation system. However, weight constraints are their main impediment and they need to find a way around it.
If the CEO of Flirtey is to be believed, the U.S., in all probability, will be delivering over-the-counter medicines and food from convenience stores to homes. Such deliveries to select homes in the United States could happen later this year.

Sustainability standards and the increasing demand of consumers in both developed and developing countries for sustainably produced goods and services offer great potential for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At the same time, they can have an adverse effect if producers and exporters from developing countries are able to meet these requirements.
As standards proliferate, the needs for harmonization, conformity assessment and transparency become more evident. Effective partnerships and cooperation mechanisms can importantly contribute to better aligning the sustainability and trade agendas. These include cooperation between the private and the public sector, among standards setting organizations and between international organization working on trade and sustainability issues.
The session seeks to bring together different perspective to these issues and discuss what forms effective cooperation should take to ensure that sustainability standards contribute to sustainable trade and support the SDGs.

Nik Collection is a group of 7 plug-in software packages for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and DxO PhotoLab (formerly DxO Optics Pro). These packages include Silver Efex Pro, Analog Efex Pro, Color Efex Pro, Dfine, HDR Efex Pro, Sharpener Pro and Viveza. They allow a range of effects to be applied quickly and easily to images. As a result, the software became very popular with photographers and designers. Silver Efex Pro was especially popular thanks to its ability to replicate black and white darkroom effects.
DxO now bundles DxO PhotoLab 2.3 Essential Edition with Nik Collection 2. DxO PhotoLab 2.3 is DxO's own raw editing software package which draws on the company's scientific analysis of images from specific camera and lens combinations. It enables automatic corrections of optical problems as well as allowing global and local adjustments to be made to images. This move was by request from many Nik Collection users who want avoid being tied into Adobe's subscription models.
DxO PhotoLab 2.3 Essential Edition retails for £99 while the Elite Edition costs £159. Both editions have an extensive collection of features such as the new Photolibrary for managing images, high-quality demonising of raw and Jpeg files, optical correction and DxO's excellent Smart Lighting. However, the Elite edition offers a bit more such as DxO Clearview Plus to help deal with haze, Anti Moire tool, Colour rendering profiles, multiple exports and customisable palettes.
About Nik Collection
Nik Collection was originally launched by Nik Software. In September 2012, Google acquired Nik Software. At the time this was largely thought to be to enable Google to get hold of Snapseed, an excellent (and popular) mobile image editing app.
Nik Collection continued to be popular, possibly helped by the fact that in early 2016, Google made it free to download. However, in Spring 2017 when Google confirmed that it wouldn't develop the software any further, the nails were made ready for Nik Collection's coffin.
Then in October 2017, there was a ray of sunlight. DxO, the developer of the widely respected optical correction software now called PhotoLab, announced that it had bought Nik Collection from Google. Hurrah!
DxO's developers have worked on Nik Collection to iron out all the bugs that had plagued the software since its period of neglect. And now they've started to make improvements.
Nik Collection Plugins
The Nik Collection comprises the following Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom plug-ins:
Silver Efex Pro: for converting images to black and white, this is inspired by traditional darkroom techniques.
Analog Efex Pro: simulates the look of traditional film, cameras and lenses.
Color Efex Pro: a collection of colour correction and creative effect filters, plus retouching controls.
Dfine: noise reduction software.
HDR Efex Pro: High Dynamic Range (HDR) software.
Sharpener Pro: image sharpening with the ability to apply localised or global sharpening.
Viveza: local adjustment of colour and tone.
The latest version, Nik Collection 2 adds 42 'En Vogue' Recipes, or effects that can be applied to images. These can be used as one-click adjustments or you can tweak their settings to tailor the effect to your image.
These 'En Vogue' presets take the original set of 156 to 198. They have been added to the four colour and monochrome processing packages. Color Efex Pro, Silver Efex Pro and Analog Efex Pro each get 10 new presets while HDR Efex Pro gets 12 new HDR presets.
Nik Collection Review
I've been a fan of the Nik Collection for a long time. I especially like Silver Efex Pro 2 for making black and white conversions, but HDR Efex Pro, Dfine and Sharpener Pro have all proved very useful over the years.
Like many photographers, however, I stopped using Nik Collection at one point because of compatibility issues. Happily, that's all been sorted now.
Nik Collection by DxO now has all its most recent functionality. It's also compatible with all 64-bit Windows and Mac platforms, as well as with Adobe Lightroom Classic CC, Photoshop CC 2019, and Photoshop Elements.
After using the various software packages, I can confirm that they work as they should. The installation of Nik Collection is straightforward and I've not had any crashes.
How to use Nik Collection
Once you've installed Nik Collection, a box is visible when you open an image in Adobe Photoshop. All you need to do is click on the plug-in you want to use. If you've closed the box, you can access the plug-ins via Filter > Nik Collection. In Lightroom, access the Nik Collection packages via Photo > Edit in. Meanwhile, in DxO PhotoLab, the button to access Nik Collection is in the bottom right corner of the screen, next to 'Export ot Disk'.
Once you've opened one of the plugins, the basic editing options are arranged on the left of the screen. You can see the whole list of Filters, or click on one of the groups (Landscape, Wedding etc) to see a more restricted range. The new En Vogue presets are located in the Recipes section. You can also see the presets you've used in the past by clicking on History. Just click on a preset see its impact applied to a preview of your image.
There may also be sub-options to chose between – also on the left of the screen. The refinement and local adjustment controls are located on the right of the screen with the preview in the middle.
One of the great things about Nik Collection is that the effects can be applied globally, or you can select the Brush option to paint the effect on your image. If you make a mistake as you paint in the effect, you can click on the Erase option to brush it out and start again.
The effect is also applied as a layer so you can reduce the opacity if you wish. Over the coming weeks, I'm going to take a look at each of the plugins in turn. Lets' kick-off with the most widely known, Silver Efex Pro.
Silver Efex Pro 2.0 Review
Silver Efex Pro 2.0 is the black and white conversion plugin in Nik Collection. As soon as you open it, the image preview switches to monochrome.
On the left of the screen, there's a column of presets available for selection. These are grouped to help you find the ones you like, but selecting the 'All' option lets you browse all 38 available by default.
Beneath the preset previews, there are icons to access custom and imported presets as well as the ones you've used previously. That's helpful because it saves you having to browse all the options if there's just one or two that you use most of the time. Just click on the preset that you like the look of to apply it to your image.
How to create a Custom Preset Silver Efex
Creating a custom preset in Silver Efex is easy, just do the following:
- Edit the image until you get the look that you want.
- Click on the + in the Custom bar in the left column.
- Enter a relevant name in the box that appears and hit OK.
Adjusting an image in Silver Efex Pro 2.0
The adjustment tools are arranged in the column to the right of the image preview. These are arranged in groups called Global Adjustments, Selective Adjustments, Colour Filter, Film Types and Finishing Adjustments. Click on the triangle to the left of the group name to expand and collapse the stack to reveal or hide the controls.
Global Adjustments
Under Global Adjustments, you'll find the brightness and contrast controls. These allow you to adjust the highlights, midtones and shadows separately, as well as the overall brightness.
Selective Adjustments
The Selective Adjustments use Nik's U-Point Technology to adjust targeted areas of the image. After selecting a control point by clicking on the tool in the column on the right, click on the part of the image that you want to adjust. This adds a point with four controls coming off it. If you click on the arrow at the bottom, you'll reveal another four controls.
These are sliding controls. Just click on one to reveal the full scale and adjust as necessary. The top control governs the size of the area affected. You can also add other control points to limit the impact of the first control point.
Helpfully, you can duplicate control points to apply the same adjustment to different areas of the image. In addition, there's a mask that you can use to reveal which areas are influenced by each control point.
Colour Filter
The Colour Filters don't apply a colour to your image, they work like a traditional glass filter in black and white film photography. They adjust the brightness and contrast of the image according to the colours it's made up from. A filter brightens its own colour but darkens the opposite colour. Selecting the red or orange filter, for example, darkens a blue sky.
You can target specific colours for brightening or darkening by tweaking the hue slider to find the precise colour filter you want to work with.
Film Types
There's a list of 18 different films to choose from in the drop-down box in Film Types. Just scroll through them to find the one you want and apply it to your image. If you want, then use the Grain, Sensitivity and Levels and Curves controls to get exactly the look you want.
The Sensitivity allows you to adjust the 'films' response to individual colours. Sliding the control to the right brightens areas of that colour.
Finishing Adjustments
All the toning, vignetting and edge effect controls are located in the Finishing Adjustments section. You can select from a range of traditional toning effects to apply and then adjust it to your satisfaction.
As well as the strength of the toning, you can change the silver hue and tone (strength) as well as the paper hue and tone.
Applying the Adjustment
Silver Efex Pro 2.0 offers two ways to apply the effect you've created. The first applies the effect just as you see it. It's what you get if you hit 'OK'. Helpfully, the effect is applied as a layer so you can adjust the opacity and paint it in or out if you like.
If you select 'Brush' instead of 'OK', Silver Efex Pro creates a mask over your image as it returns to the standard Photoshop panel.
The Nik Collection panel now shows buttons to allow you to select 'Paint', 'Erase', 'Fill' or 'Clear'. Simply use the Photoshop Brush controls to paint in or erase the effect on your image.
Tapping 'Fill' paints in the whole effect, while 'Clear' removes it all. Once you're happy, just tap 'Apply'.
Silver Efex Pro 2.0 Verdict
Silver Efex Pro 2.0 affords a fantastic level controls over a monochrome conversion. Its strength is the ease with which it allows complex adjustments to be made.
I tend to use the Film Types as the starting point and then adjust the image until it looks as I want it to. I then create a Custom Preset so I can apply it to other images. As the effect is applied as a layer, you have an extra level of control.
If I'm working in Adobe Photoshop, I'd rather use Photoshop's or Adobe Camera Raw's controls to make local adjustments before opening Silver Efex. However, Nik's U-Point technology is simple and easy to use.
Interestingly, DxO has done lots of research into film emulsions to enable it to replicate the appearance of a traditional film with its FilmPack software. As well as reproducing the sharpness and contrast characteristics, DxO FilmPack can mimic the distribution, size and shape of the grain. It does it so well that Sebastiao Salgado is said to use FilmPack for his images.
It's going to be interesting to see how DxO proceeds with FilmPack and Silver Efex Pro 2.0. My money is on Silver Efex Pro getting the benefit of DxO's in-depth understanding of monochrome film.
Analog Efex Pro 2.0 Review
Nik Collection Analog Efex Pro 2.0 works in a very similar way to Silver Efex Pro. The big difference is that rather than applying the look of well-known film emulsions, there are some 'classic camera' effects. The aim is to produce an image that looks like it has been captured with an old camera. You can even as scratches and dust marks if you want.
The starting point is the is to pick from a series of thumbnails on the left of the screen to apply a preset treatment to your image. At first glance, you'll only see 9 presets, however, tap the arrow in the top left of the screen where it says 'Classic Camera' and a lot more are revealed. There's a lot to choose from!
Alongside the list of cameras available for selection, there's a list of effects that can be applied. Actually, some of these effects are probably best described as faults – Lens Distortion, Light Leaks, Dirt and Scratches etc. Selecting one applies a basic treatment to your image, but you can tailor and refine it using the controls on the left of the screen.
Try the Effects
There are some great effects available and there's a good level of control. Bokeh, for example, allows you to position a target over the area that you want to be sharp. You can also specify the size of the graduation between the sharp and blurred areas.
Each effect reveals a different set of controls. Some, like the Basic Adjustments and Dirt & Scratches, for example, allow you to use Control Points to restrict the effect to a particular area. The parameters available under these Control Points varies depending upon the effect. It's all very logical.
The fun part is that if you select 'Camera Kit' under 'Build a Camera' you can apply a series of effects and create a treatment to apply to other images in the future. If you've got a couple of hours to spare, you can really lose yourself in the creative process.
And of course, just like Silver Efex, Analog Efex applies its effects as a layer. This can be painted in if you select the Brush option or applied globally if you hit 'OK'.
Analog Efex Pro 2.0 Verdict
Analog Efex Pro 2.0 may not be the main reason why you invest in Nik Collection, but it's addictive. It also produces some interesting, effective results. If you want to recreate the look of an old camera, you'll find it can produce some realistic-looking results. It's also perfect for giving your images a different, creative appearance.
Color Efex Pro 4 Review
Color Efex Pro has 10 new effects available under the En Vogue banner. These are listed in the recipes section in the column on the left of the screen. As with the other effects, there's a preview of the effect and you just need to click on the one you like the look of to apply it to your image. I like the Blue Monday effect, but I think Contrast in B&W works better for this scene.
Once the Recipe has been applied, you can adjust the settings using the controls in the column on the right of the screen. Clicking on the arrow next to the control type, for example, B/W Conversion, Dark Contrast and Tonal Contrasts with Contrast in B&W, reveals the controls. As usual, these are mostly sliding controls with the option to type in specific numbers if you like.
Adding a Filter effect
If you click on the Add Filter button on the right, or the Filter Library menu in the left column, the filter list is revealed ready for selection. I decided to apply a sepia effect using the Colorise filter. Initially, this applied a greenish tint, but it's easy to change it by clicking on the coloured box in the Color section of the controls on the right. This brings up a box with three sliding controls (Red, Green and Blue). It's just a case of adjusting the sliders until you get a colour you like – or you can type in a specific Hex colour code if you know what you want. Unfortunately, the image preview at the centre of the screen doesn't change colour as you make your adjustments. You can only see the final effect after you've closed the box by clicking on the red close button in the left top corner of the control panel. If you want to tweak the hue, you have to reopen the control panel to access the controls then close it again.
Once that's done, you can adjust the Strength of the colour – I knocked it back to 7% for my image. You can also add control points to adjust the opacity of the filter across different points of the image.
Color Efex Pro 4 Verdict
Color Efex Pro 4 works in a very similar way to Silver Efex Pro, but primarily for creating colour images. It's very easy to use and while there will always be personal preferences, the new Recipes and other presets deliver good results. I especially like the warming and cooling effect of Blue Monday, but as usual, it's a case of finding which settings work best for your images. Happily the presets preview renders quickly and you can soon find the one you want to work with.
There are few quirks, such as the Colorise adjustment not offering a preview, but on the whole, the software performs well and seems stable.
Dfine 2.0 Review
Dfine is Nik Collection's noise reduction plugin. Its strength comes in part from the level of control but mostly from the ease with which you can vary the level of noise reduction that's applied across an image. That's helpful because areas with lots of detail often only need a light treatment. Meanwhile, areas of uniform tone can take (or demand) a heavier-handed approach.
With the image below, which was shot at ISO 102,400, the bricks need less noise reduction applying than the car and the lighter door.
Local Adjustments
Like the other plugins in Nik Collection, you can add Control Points to apply different levels of noise reduction to different parts of the image. As usual, just select the Control Point option (with the Reduce tab selected) and then use the sliders to control the level of contrast and colour noise.
However, I find it faster and easier to apply a blanket treatment and then paint it onto the image.
When the Measure tab is selected, the drop-down box next to Method can be set to Manual or Automatic. The Automatic option can work well. It bases the level of noise reduction that's required on its assessment of four areas of the image. It usually looks at the highlights, shadows and mid-tones.
The selected areas are highlighted on the image. If you like, you can drag these selection boxes to the areas you consider the most important. If you do this, the Method drop-down option switches to Manual. You can also resize the boxes if necessary.
Once you're happy, click on Measure. Dfine will then measure the noise and apply a noise reduction algorithm. This can be tweaked using the sliding controls and Control Points found in the Reduce section.
Move the cursor around the image to see a before and after comparison in the Loupe window.
Once you've found the level of noise reduction that you want, you have the option to click OK to apply it, or select Brush to paint it in. I like to use the Brush as it creates a mask and you can quickly switch between painting in the effect or erasing it.
Helpfully, you can also Photoshop's brush opacity control at the top of the image to apply the effect more subtly.
Dfine 2.0 Verdict
There are probably fewer occasions when you'll use Dfine than some of the other plugins in Nik Collection, but it's very handy for low-light photography. Although you can take complete control if you want, the automatic setting often works well.
I find the Loupe frustrating because you can't keep an area selected while you adjust the treatment. You can still build up a picture of the degree of noise reduction that's required globally, but it's harder to assess the Control Points.
Consequently, I find it easier and quicker to apply a blanket treatment selectively using Photoshop's Brush opacity to control the strength.
Nik Collection Verdict
At £125 for 7 plugins and Dxo PhotoLab, Nik Collection 2 offers exceptional value for money. It's also capable of producing excellent results that are really only limited by your imagination.
It's also very easy to use. But more than that, it's fun to use it. The trickiest part is deciding which of the plugins to use. It would be nice for a future edition if each software package could be treated as a suite of presets and controls for one plugin. This would mean you can preview the impact of different recipes and filters in Silver Efex Pro, for example, and then switch seamlessly to Color Efex Pro to see what its presets can offer. That sounds like a simple request, but I'm sure it's very involved to carry out. However, it's clear that DxO is committed to evolving Nik Collection and is taking onboard users requests, so you never know.
