Algonquin Adventures / NIK Software Now Free!

Hey guys not sure if anyone has used Nik Software in the past but it is really good stuff. It's normally fairly costly to get all of the parts to it but it has recently been put out by Google (who bought Nik) for FREE download. My understanding is that they will no longer be supporting or developing the software and that is why it is free. Well worth the download in my opinion. I use the Silver Effex for my black and whites and it is awesome!

Yes.. I downloaded it last week and there now has been three days when NOTHING else got done.
For me with Photoshop Elements 9 it works as a plug in. The HDR part of the set is not compatible but there are other ways to do HDR even with basic Photoshop or better Photomatix.
