Why "Recipes" Matter More Than Standard Presets

Let’s clarify the terminology. In the Nik ecosystem:

Presets: One-click settings that stack filters (e.g., "Pro Contrast" + "Glamour Glow").
Recipes: A philosophy of adjustment. A recipe tells you which filters to stack, the order to stack them, and the specific numeric values to tweak based on your lighting conditions.

Because the Nik Collection saves presets as local files (.json or specific sidecar files), sharing them is completely legal and widely encouraged by the photography community.
