[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 624433, member: 9240"] I've largely weeded myself off of most of the Nik Collection, but I use Dfine 2.0 and Silver Efex Pro all the time, and a couple filters in Color Efex Pro (Tonal Contrast, in particular) have become invaluable over time. If I was still shooting HDR I'd be pissed about HDR Efex as well. All that said, as has been discussed you can open these as standalone apps, but I would caution you when you do to [B][I]use a copy of the file[/I][/B] as all changes are destructive. My planned technique will be to export a full-res TIFF file from Photoshop, open it in the Nik app of choice, and then open the updated file as a new layer in the old document. A bit of a PITA, but better than nothing. I also expect that there may be some folks creating actions or tutorials that mimic some of the more popular Nik filters, so I'll be on the lookout for them.
