Google are offering the complete nik collection of software suites for free! Usual price is $150.00 and worth every penny.

I'll second that. Superb set of filters at a decent price. :biglaugh:

I'll second the "second that" :rotfl2:

The only downside is that (I believe) there will be no further updates so what it is now is all it will ever be.

From what I've read, Google bought out Nik Software to get a hold of snapseed and ended up with Nik Collection as a result....and being that they don't plan to continue with its future upkeep they decided to give it away for free.

Even in its current form it is just fantastic.

I bought this a few years back when it was on special, it was a good deal then, i still use it alittle bit, the noise reduction, hdrefx and silverefx are pretty good. I don't waste time using the control points thing in it, since even the old CNX2 plugin which is years old shits all over it in terms of usability.

Definitely download it,l but as mentioned, it's probably gonna be EOL'ed like alot of google stuff has ended up...
