I have had Nik since the days when i paid a few hundred dollars for it. then it went free and now DX owns the right. I was thinking about buying it and kept putting it off. Now they have it on sale for $49.99 and i made the buy. had some problems with the download, but i think i finally got it installed.
I have always loved this software.

Have they made improvements to it since I got it free a couple years ago?

Not sure I just installed it yesterday.

I think the only improvements were bug fixes and compatibility issues. I wonder if this means they're getting ready to release a new version?

I wanted to be sure that I got the upgrades.

I use the DxO PhotoLab Elite version running on a late model MacBook Pro connected to a 4K Dell Monitor (P2715Q) with absolutely no issues.

I'm addressing the NIK plug-in (with Photoshop CC) not displaying correctly on 4k monitors even after the last update.

I recently bought a laptop and installed all of my photo processing software. I thought I’d have to buy the NIK software since they started charging for it but a UHH member posted a link to the free version that is still available.

Using the link I was able to download and install at no charge.

after trying to download the program it is not working. Nik wants a screen shot and I don't know how to do that.

You don't say what operating system you are using.

If you are using MacOS:

CMD-SHIFT-3 -> Entire desktop screenshot
CMC-SHIFT-4-SPACEBAR click in window -> Window screen shot

It was on even more of a sale at Thanksgiving for 35.00. Perhaps it will be again at Xmas

Here is a Dropbox link to the collection I purchased a few years ago. I use them on an iMac without any problems.

Your keyboard should have a button on it or key on it that says Print Screen. Press it once. Then open up any program that you have for editing pictures like Elements, Photoshop, or Paint Shop Pro. Create a blank page and then press Ctrl/v and it will paste the screen shot into your blank picture. Save it as a jpg. Then email it to them or send it the way they asked you to send it.
