I’ll be interested in seeing if there are any new features. My latest laptop upgrade seemed to have caused a few minor issues with Nik, stability wise and I’m hoping the lag time is cleared up on larger files. What I’ll be looking for a is a smoother running package, faster response and stability. I’ll keep you posted on what I find as I work along with the updated suite. DiX offers a 30 day trial so I’ll be downloading it later in the week to test drive and see if it is faster and more stable. For the quality and range of options available, $69 is a hell of a good price. The package still offers the same 7 plugins many of us have grown to love and the price (even after the special offer expires) is a bargain, especially for photographers just starting out. I use Nik a lot and have noticed a few creeping issues that have caused a bit of frustration – the occasional crash, random freezing when accepting the changes made and not as fast as I’d like. It might be worth popping for the full paid suite if it clears up the irritating freezing that happens with the free suite. What’s new? It’s fully compatible with the latest OS – both 64-bit version of Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X along with Adobe Lightroom Classic CC, Photoshop CC 2018, and Photoshop Elements CC 2017/2018. No idea how long the introductory offer will last, so grab it while you can. The 7 plugins sell for $69, but DxO is offering it for sale $49. Well, it’s here -> NIK COLLECTION 2018 BY DxO.

When DxO acquired Photoshop plugin suite Nik from Google ( read about it here), they said they were working on a full update for the package and would hopefully release it sometime in 2018.
