I'll continue to use it at long as possible as well... Control Points are just too good to let go of.I thought they already abandoned it when they made it free. Once it doesn't play nice with PS I can always use it as a stand alone. It will be a bit more PIA, as in more steps to my workflow, but I will never abandon NIK. You'll have to pry it out of my cold dead fingers!!
I was under the impression they couldn't be used on their own. How do you use them as stand alone?

If you're on Windows, look in your 'program files". You can open it from there.
program files>Google>Nik Collection
I'm not a Mac-user but I belieeeeve you have the option to select a photo/image file using the Mac version of Windows Explorer, I believe it's called "Finder" (?), and then use "Open With" (Silver Efex Pro 64.exe for example) if that helps at all.I have a Mac. I will look in the applications and see if I can launch them from there.

Oh good! Glad it was of some help.Ahhhh haaaaaaaa, yes that helped. It put me into applications, but it wouldn't open the NEF ("unsupported file type") I guess I have to convert to jpg first.
Thanks, buddy.
Also, once open I can go to "File" and "open images." Never bothered to try since I read it NIK wasn't stand alone.
