that make our favourite BW conversion filter, Silver Efex Pro, among

Hmmm. I speculated that Nik might be trying to make it's installed
users numbers look better for a potential buyout back when we
magically got Silver Efex Pro 2 serial numbers and downloads for free

Saw stats today that Google+ has passed 400 million registered users

myself in that active class, but I am registered. From what I
understand, from a photographer's standpoint, Google+ is considered a

NIK has an app called Snapseed; similar to Instagram. Didn't Fakebook
