![]() ![]() While there are many great Photoshop plug-ins, the Nik Collection has held a primary place in my personal editing workflow for nearly a decade. Now if new versions of Photoshop introduce compatibility issues or bugs with the Nik Collection, even those won’t be ironed out by Google.Īlthough not surprising, this announcement is a real shame. After Google’s acquisition of Nik, Analog Efex Pro was the only new software and the rest of the suite received only bug fixes. The Google Nik Collection had not been updated since May 2014 when Analog Efex Pro 2 was introduced. Their Nik Collection page now reads the following at the top, “We have no plans to update the Collection or add new features over time.” This was a long time coming. What started as an unofficial concern has now been made official by Google. At the time, Google’s announcement referenced future updates for Google Photos and Snapseed but did not mention development for the Nik software suite. This was great news for photographers looking for free photo editing software, but it did concern me about the possibility of future updates. Then in early 2016, the collection of Photoshop plug-ins was made available for free. The following year, Nik was rebranded as “ Nik Collection by Google” and its price was slashed. Back in 2012, Google purchased Nik Software.
