"Customers will not be affected"

(... until whoever buys it inevitably strips the assets and restructures the products.)

Those of you who are still hoping for a new version of the Nik Collection may wish to cross their fingers now. As will those of us who really would prefer not to have to use anything else to process raw files...

(I wonder if this explains why they've been pushing the discounted upgrade to PhotoLab so hard)

This is a complete bummer!  I've been holding off upgrading OSX on my Mac because I don't think Nik runs on anything after 10.10 (unless anyone here can tell me otherwise).  Real shame.  Classic example of a big company buying up a smaller one then dumping what is not in line with their strategy.

Looks like they are basically in the equivalent of administration (or US chapter 11) and expect to emerge from it.

There's an update to PhotoLab coming and a bugfix/update release of Nik Collection, both in June.

Wheee.

Still got my free copy of Nik running thankfully. Love Silver Efex Pro.

They said they would support the Panasonic G9 with a release in February, now pushed back two more months it seems.

I have been waiting 4 months for them to fix photolab erroring out trying to processing raw files from the Panasonic G80/81/85 and Sigma 30mm DC DN. I suppose that will be another 2 months (if I am lucky). I chased up the ticket about that issue 3 weeks ago and heard nothing. In the past support have always been prompt if not very useful - I don't get the impression things are as rosy as they claim.
