Around May 30, 2017, Google announced that they have no plans to update the Nik Collection or add new features over time. On March 24, 2016, Google announced that they would make the Nik Collection free.
#USING GOOGLE NIK COLLECTION PRO#
I use the Color Efex Pro Photoshop plugin often as part of my landscape and cityscape editing workflow and am excited that as I continue to update to the latest version of Adobe CC, I'll be able to count on Nik Collection to work seamlessly. The collection was originally priced at 500, but after Google acquired Nik, the price was dropped to 150.
I welcome this development, as it bodes well for future support and development of the program. Starting July 1, it will be priced at $69. However, keep in mind that this option is only active if you have already opened an image. If you don’t want the entire panel, but a specific filter you can go to Menu -> Filters -> Nik Collection and choose the one you want from the menu. The introductory price is $49.99 and is good through the end of June. If you close it and want to open it again without re-launching Photoshop, go to Menu -> File -> Automate -> Nik Collection Selective Tool. However, in a surprising turn of events, DxO bought the plugin suite back this past October with plans to restart development and support.Īnd now, Nik Collection is finally back again. Sure enough, Google abandoned Nik support last year, leaving many photographers uncertain of what their future editing workflows would look like. While this was great news for those who used and wanted to start using the software, the worry was that Google would no longer support it. A few years went by without updates to the plugin, and in 2016, Google announced it would make it available for free. Google acquired it in 2012 and dropped the price down to $150. It started life as a DxO product with a professional price tag of $500. The Nik Collection has had an interesting and somewhat troubled history. The Nik Collection photo editing suite is back again, but this time the latest iteration of the popular plugin has a modest price tag.
