NikCollection

Have you heard of Snapseed? It was the go to app for picture editing on the mobile phone and tablets. Nik is the German company behind the mobile app. Nik happens to also make a number of wonderful Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom plugins. In 2012 Google brought the company. The app become free and now Google has made all the Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom plugins free to download.

If you were to buy the full set just yesterday it would have been $150. That in itself is a discount from the original priced at $500. Don’t fret if you were one of those people who recently brought the plugins. Google will refund anyone who bought the plugins earlier in 2016. One has to wonder does this mean that Google has no intentions of developing Nik’s desktop photography any longer? If so, I guess free software is one way to help with the pain of losing a great product.
