got an email from Scott Kelby saying that Google is offering the Nik Software Collection for free. It was selling for $149. https://www.google.com/nikcollection/
Have been playing with this software this week and loving it. As with any new software there is a learning curve but it is very user friendly. (esp after a few You tube videos)
I downloaded it about a week ago and I'm thrilled! My free trial of another package had run out and I was really missing having PS plugins! all seems to be working great!
Yup! Downloaded and had a little play. The only thing I find mildly annoying is that it pops up a window with all the Nik offerings on when I start Photoshop.
I have an older version of the Nik Color Efex (the 3.0 version) and I have used it for quite some time. I love the software, but I'm sad that Google is involved. Every time they acquire something great, they wreck it or kill it off.
@snipsnap - I know what you mean. It isn't just Google. Most large corporate entities when they take over another company, buying out a competitor, gets rid of the product of that company or they change it so much by trying to make it like their product they end up ruining it.
@meemakelley Yes, or Lightroom, or a Gimp plug-in (which works well but involves some geek stuff to make it happen). It isn't a stand-alone application.
This will also run on Photoshop Elements and even on older versions of Photoshop. I tried it in PS CS2 - and it works, though I did have to manually select the plug-ins folder when I installed it)
