Nik Collection from Google – Now Free

On By Mark DoddIn Free Stuff, General Blog PostLeave a comment

Google announced on March 24th that the Nik Collection of photo editing software is now Free to everyone.

A few years ago,Google purchased Nik Software

Nik software has been highly recommended by many a photographer to me, but that was around the time Google purchased Nik Software so I didn’t buy it as I was waiting to see what Google would do with it.

I have not used the software yet myself so for now I cannot give you my opinion of it, but go ahead and download it and see if it works for you.  There is no manual per say, but they do have an extensive help center along with Tutorials under each program tab on the download page.

It supports both Mac and Windows. Review the system requirements at the bottom of the download page to make sure it is compatible with your OS version and hardware before downloading.

Here is a link to the announcement Google made on March 24th.

Aurora HDR Software and Macphun

Great Photo editing software from Macphun

My primary photo editor is now Aurora HDR that was developed by Trey Ratcliff of Stuck in Customs in collaboration with Macphun. If you do HDR photography I would say this is the best program to use for that.

Macphun makes a whole series of photography apps in addition to Aurora HDR. When I’ve taken a single photo instead of the multiple brackets that you need for HDR photography I sometimes use the Macphun apps of Intensify and Noiseless CK to do select edits, but they do have an entire suite that you may like.

Check out the complete line of Macphun software. Click on their logo below to visit their site.

 

 

And don’t forget you can get 10% off any of their products using my coupon code

A recent photo edited with Aurora HDR

This is my photo of the Johns Hopkins Hospital Billings Building also know as the Dome.

I know it needed a little punch added to it so I brought it into Aurora HDR, the Macphun/StuckinCustoms application. Click the slider to compare the 2 photos of the original iPhone image and the edited image from Aurora HDR. It didn’t need much adjustment, but you see the possibilities especially in the sky.

Free stuff – ON1 Photo Effects

On By Mark DoddIn Free Stuff, General Blog PostLeave a comment

Seems it is my day for finding free stuff for you that I think you can use. This offer is for ON1 Photo Effects. It is for both Mac and Windows.

I already own and use the full ON1 Photo 10 software and it is one of my secondary photo editing software packages, so this offer doesn’t benefit me.

But for those of you looking for a great app to add some punch to your photos or fix some issues with your photo, I recommend it. And you can’t beat the price of $0.00

So go and download it now before they change their minds. You can get by clicking on the following.

I would check out their other software while your there and they do offer other items for free. Check the complete list out under their “Free” menu

They also have some great videos so you can the most out of their products.
