This leaves users with the problem of the plugins not being compatible with the updated version of Photoshop, with no hope for a fix to resolve the issue. However, DxO has no known plans to make any changes to the current version of the software until their release of the newest edition sometime next year. This was a relief for several photographers who have integrated Nik’s plugins, such as Color Efex Pro, into their post-processing workflow. After Google announced that they had no further plans for the software, they were later acquired by DxO. It has been an up and down year for Nik Collection. Luckily, there is a very simple workaround. This not only limits your use of Nik’s software, but it also will also cause you to lose all unsaved changes to your image prior to using the plugin. After Photoshop’s latest update, several users have reported that using the plugins will now force Photoshop to close when the plugin attempts to save its changes. If you are a user of one of the popular Nik Collection photo editing plugins, you have probably experienced errors in using the software recently.
