For a company like Google, the Nik software is a very very small thing compared to the rest of their business.
With yearly revenue of 50 billion and assuming the sold 100000 copies for a $15,000,000.00 thats equal to something less than 2 1/2 hrs of the yearly revenue. Drop in the bucket. Probably sold many less than 1000000 so even a smaller drop
Works fine with CS3 (Win), verified here. BUT, even though I pointed the installer to CS3, I had to manually copy the Google folder from the CS5 32bit plugins folder to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS3\Plug-Ins\
I can't say with certainty it will install if CS3 is all you've got -- I just know that it will run in CS3 once you get the filters there.
I currently have Color Efex Pro4 & Silver Efex Pro2 and have many additional user presets loaded in both, if I get the entire bundle, will I lose all these user presets?
Thanks, Bob

Howard, thanks. I was able to go in and save all of the Color Efex Pro4 recipes with one save, but can't figure out how to do the Silver Presets all at one time, It seems I can only do them one at a time. So I;'m going to wait until the office opens up
Thanks, Bob
I copied both of the recipes and custom presets, downloaded the NIK collection, but when I called up both Color efex and silver efex , all of the recipes and custom presets were there. Not sure why, but they were there
Maybe during the install it saw Color and Silver and didn't overlay them??
Bob
Glad it worked that way for you, sure didn't for me -- but I had all my custom presets saved so it was no biggie. Seems like there are various and sundry install issues that some folks are running into. Hope it all gets smoothed out down the road.
Here's the response I got back from NIK when I asked them about my downloading the NIK collection and not having to reload the recipes and custom preset, BTW, their quick response in answering all of my questions over 3 or 4 e-mails could not have been any better. Great experience
In this specific case we always advice our customers to export the presets and
recipes just for a matter of security. In your case, the installation was made
in the same directory so Color Efex 4 and Silver Efex 2 maintain theirs recipes
and presets. But if a customer decides to install in a different directory he
can lose all the recipes and presets.
With Silver Efex Pro, I downloaded some free presets (landscape, expressive portrait, architecture) from the Nik Software site. will these work with Silver Efex Pro 2 as I can't find a link on the current site for downloading presets?

To those who were wondering on wether google was collecting a key or not, after the install there is now a lot of web activity to google via ksfetch, which reads very similar to key fetch...
