Smarter ways to return to Photoshop
Thanks to the upgrades in version

Send edits
as Layers to Photoshop
You can now send your Nik Collection edits directly to Photoshop as a new layer while continuing to work inside Nik Collection. This allows users to test multiple ideas for an image without breaking their creative flow, and have all of their edits immediately at hand once back inside Photoshop.
