This is a very good update

But it creeps me out when software that is key to my work flow applies updates without asking and without any warning or even a simple pop up that says things are going to change… Hopefully in this world of computer exploits that updates can come with some warning or prompt in the future +Nik Photography

Introducing the newest member of the Nik Collection by Google 

Today we’re excited to welcome Analog Efex Pro to the Nik Collection by Google. Our latest plug-in lets you reproduce the look and feel of classic cameras and processing methods without having to buy all that vintage equipment. 

Analog Efex Pro is more than just vintage presets. Advanced tools let you precisely adjust bokeh, textures, lens distortion and lots more. You can even use on-image controls to choose the centerpoint of any effects you add. 

If you’ve already purchased the Nik Collection by Google you’ll get Analog Efex Pro automatically, for free. Your copy of the collection will automatically update and you’ll see the new plug-in alongside SIlver Efex Pro, Viveza, and the rest of the Nik tools you use. 

If you’re not a customer yet, you can buy the entire Nik Collection (still just $149) or download a free trial at http://www.google.com/nikcollection/products/analog-efex-pro

This is just the beginning for Analog Efex Pro. We hope you enjoy this first version, and be sure to stay tuned — we’ll be adding more cameras, more controls, and more creativity in the months ahead.
