Nik Software Google

Snapseed is a complete and professional photo editor developed by Google. == KEY FEATURES== • 29 Tools and Filters, including: Healing, Brush, Structure, HDR, Perspective (see list below).

A few years ago, the Nik Collection of photo editing tools would have cost you $500. Now, Google's giving it all away.

  1. Download Google Nik Software Collection: No need to download Nik Collection 2016 crack. Google is offering world’s best photo editing software for Windows 10/8.1/8/7 PC and Mac for free download. Google Nik Collection is a photo editing software suite for PC, which contain seven plugins.
  2. Nik Collection users rejoice: DxO has announced that they’re acquiring the Nik Collection assets from Google. The current version is available for free on DxO’s website.But they plan to go on with the development, and there will be “Nik Collection 2018 Edition” released mid-2018.

The Nik Collection is a set of seven plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom, and Apple Aperture. The toolbag includes vintage camera filters, black-and-white controls, HDR effects, noise reduction, color correction, color enhancement, and sharpening. The entire suite is now available as a free download from Google on either Mac or Windows.

Of course, there’s a catch: In explaining the giveaway, Google says it is continuing to “focus our long-term investments in building incredible photo editing tools for mobile,” including Google Photos and Nik’s own Snapseed app for iOS and Android. Although Google doesn’t say this outright, it sounds like the desktop Nik Collection is no longer in development.

Google bought Nik, a German software developer, in 2012. At the time, Nik offered six desktop plug-ins as a $500 bundle, and Google dropped the price to $149 roughly six months after the acquisition. All along, Google seemed more interested in Nik’s Snapseed photo editor, and the mobile versions in particular. (A desktop version of Snapseed was killed off by Google just before the initial price cut in 2013.)

For longtime Nik Collection users, the giveaway is bad news, as it means the software they paid for has almost certainty reached the end of the line in terms of updates. (One exception: Those who bought the collection in 2016 will get an automatic refund.) For everyone else, powerful photo tools don’t get any cheaper than this.

Why this matters: Google is in the business of selling ads though online services, not direct sales of online software, so while it’s unusual that the software lasted this long, Nik users probably should have seen the end coming. In any case, it’s further proof that just because you paid for something doesn’t mean it’s safe from the Silicon Valley acquire-and-kill model.

Facebook has an emerging competitor in the wake of the Instagram acquisition. Google has acquired Nik Software, a 17-year-old company that develops digital image editing tools. But there’s a catch: A report from TheVerge says that the acquisition’s motivation was so that Google can get its hands on Snapseed, an iOS photograph app.

The acquisition should bring the coveted photography-based mobile reach (a huge motivation for Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram) to Google’s social network, Google+. Like Instagram, Snapseed adds a vintage flair to your photos, although it also has comprehensive in-app photo editing functions and photo-altering filters including tilt-shift effects. It was also an iOS first app – Snapseed started out as an iPad app and followed up with an iPhone app launched in August 2011. The differences lie, of course, in the fact that the number of Snapseed users is dwarfed by Instagram’s user base. In Snapseed’s latest figures (released in the middle of June), Nik Software revealed said it had amassed more than nine million users. It’s defintiely a far cry from Instagram’s 100 million users.

Currently Snapseed claims the spot of the 13th top paid app in the photograph genre in Apple’s App Store (it costs $4.99) and the 178th top grossing app, according to Appdata.

Snapseed may not have the largest number of users, but is has a decent reputation and Google now also has unprecedented access to Nik Software’s product line of photography software that typically runs for just under $100 dollar to upwards of $300. We could see Google wrapping Nik Software products into improving photos and maybe even videos on Google+.

In a Google Plus post by Vic Gundotra, the Senior Vice President of Engineering at Google, the acquisition was confirmed and corroborated by the official announcement by Nik Software. “We are pleased to announce that Google has acquired Nik Software. For nearly 17 years, we’ve been guided by our motto, ‘photography first,’ as we worked to build world class digital image editing tools. We’ve always aspired to share our passion for photography with everyone, and with Google’s support we hope to be able to help many millions more people create awesome pictures,” said Gundotra.

What hasn’t been announced yet is whether Snapseed would continue to live on iOS devices, although we can’t see why that wouldn’t be the case. Of course launching the Android app will be a major priority for Google. We checked out Snapseed’s site, and noticed that the Android app was in the works and will only work on operating systems running the Android OS 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) version or later.
