The MSRP of $149 now includes the $99 DxO PhotoLab 2 Essential Edition RAW processing software along with plug-in support for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, and Photoshop Elements. But the purchase of the Nik Collection by DxO Labs in June 2018 has breathed new life into the programs, and the latest release of Nik Collection 2 brings an expanded list of presets and effects to the suite, along with HiDPI monitor support for Windows.

While the fears were not totally realized, Google did little to update or improve the software suite.

When Google purchased Nik Software to gain access to Snapseed, Nik fans, myself included, groaned in dismay in fear that Google would let the Nik Collection of software wither and die.
