Overview of Nik Collection
Nik Collection’s image editing plug-ins for Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop are now available in a new version. This has now the French software company DxO announced. In September 2012, Google had taken over the plug-in collection from the Hamburg software company Nik Software and initially paid for, later also offered for free – but without product maintenance . Then DxO took over Google’s Nik Collection in late 2017 and has begun refurbishing the classic image effects.
The new release now also means the end of the free version of Google. DxO promises that the Nik Collection 2018 will be fully compatible with the latest Mac and PC operating systems, as well as the latest Adobe CC products such as Lightroom and Photoshop (Elements). There is also customer support in four languages, including German. Soon, DxO also wants to offer tutorials on the new website . The plug-in is available in 13 languages.

awesome man! bookmarked your page. thank you very much!
Is there a crack for the Mac version available?
not yet
26 days from when you wrote this and still nothing. ;-;
Do you have any idea when it’ll happen?! Will it even happen at all?!
not sure i understand. i have installed dxo nik using the installed. then you have patch.rar that has the file nik.collection.2018.[x64]-MPT.exe. The instruction says that copy this file to the nik installation directory and run. what do i need to replace?
yes copy to installaton directory it will ask for replace.
the installation directory does not have any file named “nik.collection.2018.[x64]-MPT.exe”. so copying the content of the patch.rar into the installation directory does not replace anything. sorry, i may not be able to follow your instructions. will wait for another release that has clear step wise instructions.
We need mac version. Thank you dear sir.
Hi! Do you have it for Mac? Thanks!

Have Windows 10. When I run the crack exe as admin, nothing happens. No error message. Virus scanners were put to snooze while running the program.
you don’t have to run it you have to replace it.
Dont work. If i open installer it want activation code. If i click on Try (Trial license) it will show error connection and the Installer dont install program and files which will be later to Crack by your Crack/Patch.
