Google has decided make Nik Collection plugins for Photoshop and Lightroom free!

Thank you for that information snowcrow1! I love their plugins! :)

You're welcome! I also use Exposure X by Alien Skin, although its not free but is another great plugin and/or stand alone!

Does somebody knows if these plugins also work with Paint Shop Pro?

That's a good question X-PaX. I don't know if they work with Paint Shop Pro, but I'll do some digging and find out.

I found out that they work with any version of Paint Shop Pro except for Paint Shop Pro X7. A few people have had a few problems getting it to work and some haven't. Here's a link to a discussion on a website where people are talking about what they did to get it to work and what version of Paint Shop Pro they used it on:

As far as I know, you can use them as stand-alone editors as well.

I have installed the Nik Collection now and i can say that it works wonderful with my Paint Shop Pro X8 version. To make them work with Paint Shop Pro you have to copy the *.8bf files into the plugins subdirectory of your Paint Shop Pro installation. It is also possible to install the plugins in a separate directory and then assign this directory in the workspace.

X-PaX, I'm happy it's working well for you! :)
