The suite sold for $500 before Google acquired it, and it later went down to $150. Now Google has decided to offer the package free for everyone. Well, it could also mean that there would be no more new releases of this great collection, moreover there had been no updates in the last 3 years.

Note that, these are plugins, not standalone tools, so you will need the programs listed below. If you bought Nik Collection since January 1, 2016, you will automatically receive a refund over the following days.All said, these collections are one of my best plug-ins. (more…)
