And finally, for those who already own both products, if you upgrade both products your discount is 50%. If you bundle your purchase and buy Nik Collection 3 and Photolab 3 you get 40% discount. DXO is currently offering a 30% discount on all DXO products until June 30th. Nik Collection v2 and v2.5 were a little underwhelming so IвЂ™m looking forward to peeling back the covers on the new version 3 and see if it measures up.

New cameras are also supported, including the Panasonic G9, TZ90, and GF9 the Canon EOS Rebel T7 and the iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X.

The updated app now also reorganizes local settings by light, color, and detail. The photo editor also now has HSL - hue, saturation, and luminance - adjustments, along with Selective Tone, a tool designed specifically to aid in recovering highlights and shadows that are too bright or too dark, respectively. The three-section menu controls local adjustments like exposure and contrast, but the U Point menu can also be customized to see specific local controls. With U Point, photo editors place a point on the image, then use a menu off that point to make specific adjustments only to that area. The edit is non-destructive when working with a RAW file, which means any changes can be undone or tweaked later. U Point is a type of local adjustment that only affects a portion of the image rather than the image as a whole. DxO Photo Lab 1.2 now includes U Point technology - inherited from the Nik collection - along with a handful of other new features. DxO Photo Lab 1.2ДxO Labs is also integrating some of the technology into the companyвЂ™s original software. That is a steep drop from the original $500 cost for the entire set, which Google later dropped to $150 before making it free. The entire set of seven plug-ins will retail for $69, with a $19 discount for the launch valid until July 1. If there is a downside to the Nik Collection coming back to life, itвЂ™s that the plug-ins are being offered once again as paid downloads. The compatibility update is only the first stage and the team expects to broaden the plug-ins in the future. The team says that, now that the plug-ins are once again compatible, DxO is welcoming feedback from users. The support area is also slated to expand with tutorials on using the plug-ins.ДxO Labs wonвЂ™t continue to focus on minor compatibility updates, however. Photographers who have worked with Nik before wonвЂ™t notice any new tools, but the plug-ins are now fully compatible with the latest version of Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom, and Photoshop Elements running in current operating systems.Д¬ustomers also get support in four different languages on DxOвЂ™s website for the Nik Collection.

DxO Labs stepped in to save the plug-ins by purchasing the collection from Google, then spent six months updating code that hadnвЂ™t been touched in years. The company announced the end of the Nik collection last year, when the plug-ins, at the time, were already no longer fully compatible with Photoshop. But after making the plug-ins free in 2016, Google stopped updating them. Google originally acquired the Nik Collection in 2012 with the purchase of Nik Software, the company also behind Snapseed. The update doesnвЂ™t exactly add anything new to the Nik collection, but it does bring the set of seven plug-ins back from the dead. The company says it expects to leave bankruptcy in a few months after refocusing on the software and reorganizing the company. Several of the Nik features are also migrating into DxO PhotoLab, which also sees an update today as version 1.2 adds U-Point technology for local adjustments.Д«oth updates come as DxO Labs faces bankruptcy and refocuses the company on four software programs while discontinuing the DxO One camera.

The Nik Collection is no longer nixed - on Wednesday, June 6, DxO Labs launched the Nik Collection 2018 by DxO, a bug-squashing and compatibility update for the Photoshop and Lightroom plug-ins long favorited by photographers.
