NIK’S NEW LEASE OF LIFE

The popular Nik Collection of plug-ins has a future once more after being acquired by DxO. Earlier this year, Google announced that it would no longer develop the now-free software suite, placing doubt on the longevity of applications such as Colour, Silver and HDR Efex Pro and Viveza, which have become a vital part of many photographers’ workflows. It is yet to be revealed if free availability will continue, or whether a new fee structure will be introduced.
