NIK Collection free?

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

I think that the site has not been updated to reflect the new Non-price. They would not be refunding if it were just a 15-day demo


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

I hope they will continue up update as necessary but even if it is static it is still one of the best plugins for photography. I am happy with it as it stands.

I have a question. If they are abandoning it, can I still transfer the program that I have to a new computer if I ever get one?

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

Not necessarily. On Windows the program will go into your "program files folder" under "Google".
Open up any image and right click. Then click on "Open with" and look for "google" in your program files. Click on it , then click on which Tool you want to open the image with. ie..Color efex pro, Silver efex pro and so on.

Today we’re making the Nik Collection available to everyone, for free.

Photo enthusiasts all over the world use the Nik Collection to get the best out of their images every day. As we continue to focus our long-term investments in building incredible photo editing tools for mobile, including Google Photos and Snapseed, we’ve decided to make the Nik Collection desktop suite available for free, so that now anyone can use it.

The Nik Collection is comprised of seven desktop plug-ins that provide a powerful range of photo editing capabilities -- from filter applications that improve color correction, to retouching and creative effects, to image sharpening that brings out all the hidden details, to the ability to make adjustments to the color and tonality of images.

Starting March 24, 2016, the latest Nik Collection will be freely available to download: Analog Efex Pro, Color Efex Pro, Silver Efex Pro, Viveza, HDR Efex Pro, Sharpener Pro and Dfine. If you purchased the Nik Collection in 2016, you will receive a full refund, which we’ll automatically issue back to you in the coming days.

We’re excited to bring the powerful photo editing tools once only used by professionals to even more people now.
