Thank you JK for the heads up, I have just downloaded the full collection and look forward to exploring the latest versions of the filters. I have used earlier versions of these filters and found them to be very useful. Although they were on my mental list of things to get, given the cost, they were well down the list.

HOWEVER... In a way I am sad. :needsahug:

This means another goliath has consumed a small software creator and discarded what for many is a precious software resource. This means that Nik filters will cease to be developed and in due course will loose compatibility with the host software and probably operating systems at some point. Also, as cameras evolve there may also be a gradual loss of compatibility with the images. I doubt Google will sell the rights to the software and who would buy them when the software has just been given away to potential customers.

o.O
