Buying and using the Nik Collection
You can currently buy the Nik Collection as a standalone suite for £125, which makes it pretty good value in our book. You no longer get DxO’s PhotoLab Essential, but this won’t be too much of a worry for most users. For owners of previous versions, it costs £69 to upgrade from version 2. You also get the collection as part of the standalone image editor DxO PhotoLab 3 Elite, which costs £169.
