Questions & Answers

Shopper : What is involved in the upgrade to #2? Will I be sent another disk?TOAN T : If you're qualified for FREE upgrade, why do you have to pay $49.95? I saw this version 1 for $79.00 with free upgrade, and then a version 2 for $99.00, it doesn't make sense, eventually both will end up having version 2, so why is there a price difference? and why still sell version 1?ALAN K : Well, you must have just bought HDR Efex Pro to qualify for a FREE upgrade! I bought mine back in 2011 so the upgrade price is $49.95. The update is well worth the price, I have a 7 image shoot of Half Done in Yosemite from this summer. When making the HDR I got all kinds of ghosting in trees with a blue sky background and nothing seems to take care of that. I downloaded the update to Pro 2 and the HDR was near perfect the first try. If you want a DISC you can order one, a faster way would be to download the DMG file from Nik Software > burn it to a CD or DVD, with the serial number on the disc > then open the DMG file and install, that simple;~)WAYNE F : I have never been able to get HDR Efex PRO to work (as a Lightroom Plugin) so I have not upgraded. My experience with other NIK product upgrades is that they are downloads - no media with upgrade.JUNE06 W : I was not sent another disk. Not sure if the 64 bit updates took in my program. My computer has been around for along time and I am not sure if it had enough memory to install the update.CHARLES A : Yes, for the upgrade, you will receive an upgrade disk. If you're installing on a Mac, your operating system must be updated at least as recent (not very) as Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.0.

Rated 5 out of 5

Fantastic software

I just completed a photo trip down the central coast of Calif. I took several series of images with the intent of using this program - they came out great. I've also used it on some single images and I am amazed at the results. It is very easy to use and there are numerous video tutorials on their web site and are very helpful.

Rated Number One in OutDoor Photography

I replaced Photomatix with Nik because Nik was rated number one in Outdoor Photograher and I agreed. It had far more natural results, Photomatrix produces very garish, overly vivid pictures that are usually unnatural. A few pictures can handle being very, very vivid.

Does not work with CS5 on 32 bit systems

Although it was not made clear on the Nik web site when this product was first released, it will not run on CS5 under a 32 bit OS. If you are not running a 64 bit OS, and you want it to work with Photoshop, you are out of luck.
