I don\'t know if this was reported here already but Google bought Nik Software.
This is the company that makes, besides some cool plugins I use all the time, Capture NX/2.
Now, Google is going to make all the updates. So version 3 of Capture NX will be done by Google and this maybe be
a good (or bad thing).
What do you mean \"version 3 of Capture NX will be done by Google\"?
Do you know this for a fact? Did Google fire all of the current NIK employees?
Yes, Google will fire all the Nik employees and I know this for a fact.... Yes, that\'s what I meant.
That\'s, of course, now what I meant. Since Google owns it now all the changes will be controlled, and influenced by Google, and its engineers. Capture NX is not a very good software (and I\'m being generous by saying \"not very good\"). So Google probably bought it cheap, will make lots of changes and will put top software engineers they have to help to improve it, and try to sell it to us for more ( possibly more, they may try to keep price the same sicne Capture NX isn\'t used that much anymore. People prefer Lightroom or other raw converters).
The Nik plugin suite is very usefull but also has some dumb problems that hopefully Google will fix.
