So they have 62,000+ employees, but they can’t spare one to simply fix this plug-in that is beloved by so many people?Ī. That’s entirely possible, but at last count, Goggle had around 62,000 employees (but that’s from last year.

Maybe Google is understaffed and doesn’t have someone available that could patch the software?Ī. So, push has already come to shove – and apparently enough people with problems contacted Google for help that they felt they needed to put a disclaimer on their downloads Website. Yeah, but you’re saying people are already having issues with the Nik Collection working?Ī.

Plus, I think we all hoped that Google wouldn’t really just leave us hanging like that and that they actually would, in fact, update the software when push came to shove. Because Google added the “we’re not updating this stuff anymore” text right to the downloads page itself, so it’s more official and scary looking.

So, if they already alluded to the “we’re not updating this stuff anymore” situation when they released the free version, how come everybody is freaked out now?Ī. In fact, I did an entire KelbyOne online class on how I use the Nik Collection (and released it just a few days after Google made their “Free” announcement). I hate to hear that (and I worry about it myself because I’ve been a Nik Collection user for years. They have some sort of configuration (maybe it’s a particular graphics card with a particular OS update, of what-have-you), but it broke their Nik world. I’ve seen posts and gotten emails from people who have told me straight up that when they updated something and the collection stopped working. So, how much longer will it still work?Ī. I would love that, but based on their post about why they are making it free, it seems fairly clear that their desktop plug-in days are over (that was my take on it anyway). Will Google ever release a Nik Collection Version 5?Ī. Not as best as I can tell, so use it today and enjoy it for as long as it works.

So, what if I download it today, and then there’s a major Mac OS or Windows update down the road and then it doesn’t work anymore.

Based on what I’ve read, I absolutely think that is the case, but I haven’t confirmed it with anyone inside Google yet. Does this mean that future updates for this collection have ceased?Ī. Well, I answered a “Q” with an “A” (see below). So what exactly did you say in that Q&A about it?Ī. I wrote about that in my Q&A the day they made the initial “free” announcement, back in March of 2016. They said, in kind of a soft-sell way, that they weren’t going to support further development of the collection.Ī. Didn’t Google pretty much say the same thing when they first released the Nik Collection for free?Ī. Well, long time Nik Collection users are (me being one of them) are pretty much freaking out, so I thought I’d do a quick Q&A about it here on the blog-a-roonie: Tip of the hat to DPReview for uncovering that. Or if a stiff wind comes along, and it breaks the Nik Collection they ain’t fixin’ it). Or, if a new version of Photoshop or Lightroom stops it from working, they’re not going to fix it. If a new OS from Apple or Microsoft is released and it breaks the Nik Collection from working, they’re not going to fix it. We had a blast (saw two awesome shows: ‘Wicked’ and ‘School of Rock’ and took a hilarious tour of NYC called ‘The Ride’ – highly recommended).Īnyway, I’m back and of course, on Friday (as luck would have it) all hell broke loose when Google added a disclaimer to their download site for the free Nik Collection of plug-ins, that they would no longer be supporting it moving forward. Sorry I missed out blogging on Friday – my wife and daughter flew up to New York City to meet me Friday morning (I was already up in NYC on business), and I got all caught up in that.
