Nik Software by DxO, the return of the classic plugins from Nik Software Yes, it is true, these plugins are just that, plugins, now completely compatible with Adobe Lightroom Classic CC, Photoshop CC 2018, and Photoshop Elements CC 2017/2018, but they can be compared to all the other plugins that became full programs, although keeping compatibility, not only with Adobe products but with other photo editors.

Suddenly the Lightroom kingdom was shattered, and photographers have choice, maybe more choice than they expected or wanted: now it is hard, sometimes, to decide what to use, so many new promises are made for each edition of the programs available.

Now that LR is “old” and trying to renew itself, the market is crowded with different solutions and an aggressive marketing.
