HDR Efex Pro – Creates and edits HDR images.

Viveza – Adjusts the color and tone of your images without masks or selections.

Silver Efex pro – Probably Nik’s best-known tool, it creates black-and-white photos with a variety of presets and controls.

Color Efect Pro – Image filters for color correction, retouching, and creative effects.

Analog Efex Pro – Imitates old school film photography.

The full suite includes seven tools, which can work as standalone software or as plugins for popular apps like Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop: Nik says the price drop is a result of Google’s continued focus on its Photos app Google is probably more interested in promoting its tools and software than any potential immediate revenue from it. Google had previously dropped the suite’s price from $499 to $149 after acquiring Nik – which also makes Snapseed, a popular mobile editing app – almost exactly three years ago. It’s a big deal – Nik Software has been around for about two decades, and its film-like filters and other editing tools are some of the most popular among professional photographers, along with VSCO or Alien Skin’s Exposure.

Big news for the professional and enthusiast photographers out there: Google is making the entirety of Nik Software’s photo editing suite completely free.
