#NIK COLLECTION PHOTOSHOP CC 2017 SOFTWARE#

Nik Collection 4 is a group of 8 plug-in software packages for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and DxO PhotoLabВ (formerly DxO Optics Pro).

More recently, however, DxO has switched to developing Nik Collection further and the latest version, Nik Collection 4 was launched on 2nd June 2021. There then followed a period of stabilisation during which DxO worked on correcting all the compatibility issues and glitches that had arisen during GoogleвЂ™s tenure. Thankfully, in October 2017, DxO, the developer of the widely respected optical correction software now called PhotoLab, announced that it had bought Nik Collection from Google. However, in Spring 2017, Google confirmed that it wouldnвЂ™t develop the software any further. Nik Collection continued to be popular, possibly helped by the fact that in early 2016, Google made it free to download. At the time this was largely thought to be to enable Google to get hold of Snapseed, an excellent mobile image editing app. Once you begin using U-point technology there is no turning back.Nik Collection, a group of Adobe Photoshop plugins, was originally launched by Nik Software but in September 2012 it was acquired by Google. If you love the Nik Collection please share your work with this site and of course throw some cash at DXO to keep the product alive. All I ask in return is please use one of the methods available to subscribe to this site. So Click Here and download the last version of the Nik Collection offered free from Google. To that end Im offering free what Google also offered free. This got me thinking that while I fully support DXO moving forward with the product which I have proved with my money, I also feel itвЂ™s important that DXO improve the product and also not rest on the laurels of the existing product. JI purchased yet again the Nik Collection now referred to as the DXO Nik Collection. Then in 2017 I read the good news, DXO Software had acquired the Nik Collection and would resume development. I plugged along with the plugins which fortunately continued to work despite Windows and Adobe updates. This meant Google had lost interest in the Nik Software and it would no longer get updated. Worse than that though I knew what this really meant. Im ok with free if it was free to me too. ThatвЂ™s right I spent $750 for plugins that were now free to the world. Again life was good until I received yet another email from Jean that Google was now giving away the Nik Collection for free.

There was a plus side I wanted a copy to use at a second location so the $149 wasnвЂ™t a difficult decision.

I was bummed because i spent so much and admittedly this put the software within reach of a lot more people reducing the uniqueness of the software. About a year later I got a message from a friend Jean Ramirez at Jean Ramirez Photography that Google had bought Nik Software and they were now offering the collection for $149.95. To buy the plugins individually was very expensive so I decided to buy the entire package called the вЂњNik CollectionвЂќ for $499.95. Naturally I tried the Photoshop and Lightroom Demo of all of the plugins.I loved them.
