Nik Collection 9: AI Masking, Depth Maps & New Color Grading

The depth mask alone makes Nik Collection 9 worth a look — it reverse-engineers a depth map from any flat 2D file, so you can isolate foreground from background without a phone sensor or any embedded depth data. For portrait and landscape retouchers still doing manual selections, that's a genuine time saver. The unified color wheel is the other headline: stop juggling three separate panels and push shadows, mids, and highlights together in one place. If you're already in the Nik ecosystem, this is a real upgrade. New buyers get 15% off with code RUMORS.
