Russ also had the following to say about Nik's line of plug-ins in general:
"The Nik line of filters makes my workflow so much easier and more efficient. With the Complete edition, basically every effect I would want to apply to my images is available and can be completed, in many cases, in less than two minutes. The fact that every effect is accompanied by a layer mask, selectively applying the filter to specific areas of the photograph is a time saver and shows that Nik put a lot of thought into the creation of the software. I don't know how I ever got along without it."
