I upgraded my Nik Collection 2 to Nik Collection 4 (4.2) during the Black Friday sale. In the 1st week of December 2021, DxO released the Nik Collection 4.3 with new presets and it’s free for the current user of Nik Collection 4. If you browse the internet you’ll see various websites stating that there are 35 new presets of Nik Collections 4.3. I checked the numbers on the DxO websites. The number of new presets is 31 (not 35) as shown in the figure below that I captured it from the Release Note of Nik Collection 4 version 4.3.0
Anyway, that’s not much important about the exact numbers of presets. It’s also clear that you can’t find the new presets under the names called “The Seasons”, “The Tonal Landscape”, “Landscape of Yesteryear” and “Dramatic Landscape” as advertised. But the new presets are there. They are in the Preset Libraries and Recipes in the ‘En Vogue’ category. My intention in writing this article is to give the information of the new presets regarding their locations and a list of all new preset names. Let’s do it.
– Nik Viveza
The picture below shows the number of the presets in versions 4.2 and 4.3.

– Meta-Presets in the Nik Selective Tool in Adobe Photoshop
Since I no longer subscribe to the Adobe Photoshop, so I don’t have any information on 6 new meta- presets.
I hope this will help clarify information about the new presets of Nik Collection 4.3 at a certain level.
