Google selling all Nik plugins for $149

Google selling all Nik plugins for $149

2013-03-28 by keith

It seems that as a result of the Google acquisition, they are selling the entire set of plugins for $149

After writing reviews of all the plugins, I was given a 15% discount link for buying the Nik plugins (do note that it's part of my site advertising) - this now reflects the $149 offer.

You can get an extra 15% off the $149 if you follow the link at the bottom of my recent Silver Efex Pro removing halos article (it costs no more but I do get a cut ;-)

I use the plugins (esp. Silver Efex and Sharpener pro) a lot, and hope that this offer from Nik's new corporate overlords doesn't bode ill for the product.

An additional comment on this.. For those that run both platforms...Make sure you download both the MAC and PC version while the screen is up with the links on it.. Once your out of that screen you can't get back.. So that's a 149.00 oversight if you screw up.. The MAC version is quite a bit larger then the PC version.. Either version searchs your computer for all elligble plugin software locations..i.e. LR , PS Bridge etc etc.. and installs to each.. lastly their appears top be no user manuals for this new stuff on line but many video type tutorials.. but a couple of hundred of them.. These are great but a bit timely to find a quick answer if yo uneed it.  A good manual is John Batdorff's "Plug in with Nik" Guide.. 19.90 @ Amazon.. it covers all the softwear  included in the package.. and is quite a good reference book to use..

My only fear is now that Google has taken over it will they just kill it like they have done with other software takeovers. I got an e-mail from them to download the entire suite for $0 because I own Nik Sharpner. Google has to have a secret plan if giving it away.

I just get this feeling the software has a metadata info sucker built in and feeds right into Google's database ;(

The whole thing about all g-mail is "read" so Google can target you with proper ads - has always freaked me out.

I read the agreement prior to saying "I do" with the same concern.. found no reference to anything that was a caution... Make sure to keep the install file as it has an uninstaller also.. If the do have an info gathering app built in we'll know it soon enough.. As far as them targeting us for adds.. well that's a drag but their are even ways to deal with that but most don't..
