Unless, that is, you are only interested in presets? With FilmPack, there really isn’t anything I miss. It is a matter of programming, as everyone knows, so it is a choice DXO has made with Nik Collection 5 that is NOT customer friendly. The only reason I’m taking the time to write this is because I’m so happy with the Lab 6 Elite that I think DXO needs to think a little more about customer friendliness so they don’t lose customers but can continue the unique Photo Lab development. I started with Lab 5 Elite but upgraded to Lab 6 Elite and I’m really happy with this program and this update, but qua the above, customer friendliness is lacking here.

Then you write that you can save the original - old - but can you do that including the updates? - I don’t know - otherwise I would be happy to receive help here. You also do not delete a previous DXO Photo Lab when you upgrade.Ī trial period is about checking whether a program is better and worth the money, and then of course it must NOT delete the original one. Isn’t it rather that then you are more inclined to buy it? You use the justification from DXO that you don’t have to have more programs at the same time. However, it will overwrite the old one only during the trial period.Īnd I don’t know if the new Nik Collection will plug in to my old CS6 like the old one does now = Does anyone know this ? There’s no doubt that DXO has improved it, and I wanted to try it - if it was THAT much better than the old one, I’d buy it.

Have the very old one from Germany from before Google took over, and there were many problems and bugs with it, but in the end - with good telephone help from NIK in Germany and with updates, it came to run really well as a plug in in my CS6. I’m having problems with FilmPack 6 (posted about it here) so I wanted to try Nik Collection 5.
