Workflow
The order of steps involved in enhancing an image varies, depending 
on the image. In general, there are only a few guidelines to consider:
-  Apply noise reduction, such as with Nik Software Dfine
®
 2.0, as 
early as possible in the process.
-  Apply RAW Presharpening, if desired, with Nik Software 
Sharpener Pro 3.0’s RAW Presharpener filter.
-  Apply light and color enhancements with Nik Software 
Viveza
 (global, then local), and end with enhancements 
using Nik Software Color Efex Pro
 3.0 or Nik Software 
Silver Efex Pro
-  Apply output and creative sharpening with Nik Software 
Sharpener Pro 3.0’s Output Sharpener filter.
