Nik Boubht out by Google

Copied from another web site

It was announced today that Nik Software was acquired by Google for its Snapseed product. I am not sure what this means for Nik's plug ins and other photo products like Nikon Capture NX2 and View NX2, but as a user, I am not that optimistic regarding the future. Based on what is in various blogs, others feel the same. I hope I am wrong.

Evidently in previous buyouts Google has integrated the parts they wanted Hired the staff they wanted and discarded anything that could not be made into a Google Application.
