It is the loss of Silver Efex Pro 2 that was causing me the most concern. The full set of filters, which act as plugins for both Photoshop and Lightroom, include: I certainly rely on the Nik Collection to add speed and consistency to my workflow. This was a massive, if not predictable, letdown for me and many other photographers. Anyway, my concerns were realised in May of this year when Google did finally announce that it was no longer developing the Nik Collection of filters. I have an article on this site that I wrote at the time. I wasn’t concerned because the filters were free after I had spent money on them, rather I was concerned that Google giving away such a prestigious set of filters could mean that Google was no longer interested in maintaining them. Then, on March 2016, Google announced that the full collection of Nik Filters would be free. In March 2015, Google, who now owned Nik Software, dropped the price of the complete set to $150 and millions of photographers snapped them up. Initially, it was priced at $500 for the set and even at this price, it was well worth the investment. The Nik Collection of filters is probably the best known and used set of filters by photographers since it was first created. I am a happy bunny this morning because I have just learned that the Nik Collection of filters will be saved by DxO.
