collection

Does anyone here know if it will work with Win10? They show Vista, 7 &
8, but not 10 on their site. I have an older version that works up to
a point, and I'd like to use the newer version, but there's no point
if it won't work with Windows 10.

NIK should work with Win10, and they haven’t updated their web site for
four years, until they added their “We quit!� banner. The last NIK update
was back in 2015.

What version do you have?
There won’t be any skin off your nose if you grab their last update, but
you have been warned, it is a dead app walking.


It still works.

Follow the money and the challenge, I don’t think these guys were spending
too much time on the beach at La Jolla. They took the Google blood money, and
left the doomed NIK ship. Google got what they wanted, “Snapseed�.
Google had no intention of developing the NIK Collection, and that was
confirmed when the guys who polished and debugged the Collection were no
longer needed in Mountain View when NIK was given away after the final
update. So they left the overpriced Bay Area real estate market for hip
Portland.

I guess I have to apologise for a slight mix up.
The former NIK guys who teamed up with MacPhun stayed in San Diego. It is the
On1 mob and their On1 Photo RAW 2017 that is based in Portland.
