This is a classic good news/bad news story. On one hand these amazing filters and tools are now free. But the word is that we will not get anymore updates. When OS X 10.12 is deployed in June (expected)....some of the tools may cease to function. Eventually the entire suite may fail to work.
I have been using Nik tools since they were first published....years before Google bought them and the "team". As I feared then, Google was just buying talent and did not care about the "team" or the product. Now my fears have been realized.
I think I may be turning into a grouchy old man. First Adobe put all their tools in the "cloud". (I refused to be assimilated and have continued to use the older live-on-my-machine tools). Now Google has essentially killed Nik. I am beginning to feel like an antique using antique tools.
