Well, it could also mean that there would be no more new releases of this great collection, moreover there had been no updates in the last 3 years. Now Google has decided to offer the package free for everyone.

The suite sold for $500 before Google acquired it, and it later went down to $150. Google acquired Nik Collection with 2012 purchase of Nik Software, the German company that is better known for the Snapseed apps for Android and iOS. While Snapseed is a simple yet powerful for mobile users, Nik Collection is geared towards professionals and enthusiasts. These plug-ins includes filter application that improve color correction, to retouching, image sharpening, noise reduction as well ability to make adjustments to tonality of images. Previously, Google sold the plugins for a steep $149. Hopefully this is of use to someone and for the record I am using the free legacy version in Adobe CC 2021 (latest version) without any issues.Nik Collection are a package of seven powerful editing plug-ins photography tools, now completely free. In the event that the links stop working let me know as I have both files downloaded which I could share over Google Drive or similar. Nik Collection legacy version for Windows So below are the download links for both Windows and Mac.

However I managed to find a cached version of the original page and took it upon myself to enter my email to receive the download links which alas still worked.

Previously DXO advertised through their help pages that the free version could be downloaded from them even though it is no longer supported.ĭXO have now changed their website and taken away all knowledge of the free legacy version from their help and support pages. On the back of the thread created by regarding DXO's Nik Collection, I thought I would create this post to help others download the free legacy version direct from DXO themselves.
