Now, DxO has updated the tools again, renaming them the NIK Collection 2, lowered the price to $99 and extended what the tools can do, along with adding their own application, PhotoLab 2, that can host the plugins without needing any Adobe products. Google did retain another fine NIK app, Snapseed, which is still being used on iOS and Android platforms.įinally, DxO bought them from Google in late 2017 and put some effort into making them work again.

Google bought them out in September 2012, dropped the price to $150, and true to predictions, Google lost interest in them, offered them for free, but there was no support, and pretty soon, changes in Photoshop made them not as compatible as they were.
