In today’s tutorial, we’re taking a look at the new Color Grading tool in Nik Collection 9 Color Efex. This is a powerful way to shape the mood of an image by controlling color in the highlights, midtones, and shadows—perfect for creating a clean, cinematic look without a complicated workflow.

I’ll walk you through the main controls and show an example so you can see how to keep the grade tasteful and natural, and how far you can push it for a more stylized result.
