download the new version for ipod Nik Collection by DxO 6.6.0

When Google announced the product was free, it was obvious the product would see no further development, so DxO’s acquisition should be a good thing.

On the topic, I am thrilled to see that DxO acquired the Nik Collection. Why not acknowledge that current owners are likely to continue to support the platform going forward? It’s very expensive to acquire new customers and far less expensive to retain existing customers. However, DxO certainly needs a large and stable installed base to make this acquisition work for them.

I understand Asser’s argument that they owe us nothing…he’s right. Special consideration for current owners seems like a reasonable approach for all parties. Pat91: Your question is a good and fair one. I absolutely love using DXO’s software and am willing to trust and support their efforts to stay in business and keep delivering state of the art software solutions. As everyone should know, DXO Labs has run into financial difficulties and are in the process of rectifying them. I am willing to pay a small sum now for future enhancements and better integration into PhotoLab, and as a license holder of the NIK collection I will presume those updates will either be free or priced lower than for the general public. I have been reading reports by individuals that the DXO version addressed issues that they were having and I think that what DXO delivered is a reasonable start when supporting software inherited from a different development team that hasn’t been updated in years. First the price of $49.99 USD is very low for what you get and will be going up to $69.99USD at the end of the month. I downloaded and purchased the DXO version of the NIK collection for selfish reasons. The expectation for special pricing is unfortunately not realistic, but in any case, how much less than $50 could anyone expect it to be? They purchased the software not the licensed and paid user database.

DXO is not in a position to track who paid for the original software and who downloaded it for free. With regard to getting special pricing for previous license holders who purchased the NIK Collection years ago at full price, I understand the frustration, But it should be aimed at Google who abandoned it, and gave it away for free, not DXO who is trying to save it. I also have been using PhotoLab since it first became available last year, and it is my go to post processing software at this point. My take is a little different, partly because I only started using the NIK Collection after it became free.
