NIK Collection free?

Just read this post that the Nik Collection is being offered for free, and if it was purchased in 2016, refunds will be issued. I recently paid for it myself.

It was worth the prices before and it will certainly be something everyone should get now

Awesome! Downloading now. Not tried it before, as I'm too tight, so looking forward to re-working some old images!

I paid for this a while ago and I'm not complaining. Great software, it is worth every penny. I'm using it all the time. So, if you don't have it yet, it is time to download it for free.

Pay attention to the U-Point Technology they are talking about. That is the key to using this program. In the plugin it is called "Add Control Point" Click on it and pick a color you want to change in brightness, contrast, detail etc and change the circle size to include as much as you can without including to much more.

Check out some of the youtube videos on using it. The more you learn about it the more useful it gets. Vivesa 2 is my favorite plugin.

WOW! That's like making the power of a Jedi Knight available to everyone. Maybe now I'll be able to make a good photo... oops, already have it - I guess there is no help for me.

I saw this just now, I've had this on my radar for a while, patience does pay off

Anything might help.

What impresses me most is the offer of refunding to anyone who purchased it. There's a lot about Google as a corp that I'm not fond of, but with what they've done with Nik - first making it buy once/upgrade forever for free (and grandfathering in previous purchases and giving add'l licenses), and now refunding to everyone, even those who bought it 4 years ago - I have to applaud them heartily.

I like nik and have been using it for so many years already. The last 2 versions really are very bulky and slow. Long to process each filter.

where did you read that? All I see is, if you paid for it in 2016, you'll get a refund... Sounds to me, if you paid for it prior to 2016, you ain't getting a refund.

I have used Topaz for a while but never able to afford Nik, downloaded now thanks for the information.........

I think I read that the refund was only for those who bought it this year (2016)

I don't begrudge having paid for Nik Tools - it was worth it. But this is amazing to offer this for the rest of you.

Downloading

I like the sound of free, but then I have to purchase adobe CC or elements or LR or ... Ha!

Adobe CC is the best investment I have made.

Sorry. It ain't free. Just a 15-day demo.

I can only assume this means NIK Tools is now "dead": No further updates, no future releases.
