Nik_logo Focus on Nik Software - August 2009
Focus Banner 2009 David Ziser

One of the most gratifying things for us here at Nik Software is to hear from customers-hobbyists and pros alike - who are using our tools to learn more and improve their photographic images. Here are a couple of recent comments:

    "I saw my first webinar yesterday – your session on Wildlife.   Your webinars let us actually see the experts using different filters & techniques on 'real life' photos. I have used your trial versions before, but after the webinar I bought the Complete Collection. ~~ J. Morris, Surprise, AZ

    “When I want to create a Black and White image today, I use Silver Efex Pro. There is absolutely nothing like it. Period." ~~ Scott Kelby, President, National Assn. of Photoshop Professionals

Speaking of testimonials, we like working with GNP Frames who have been delivering some of the nation’s highest quality frames for 15 years.  Check out their exclusive Nik Software frame collection and 30% frames discount below.

Be sure to take some time to view the latest set of archived Webinars (just posted) and don't miss the "Pro Talk" interview with Team Nik member Don Gale.

Finally, if you’re looking for a little heat this summer, see us at Skip’s Summer School at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas along with 14 top photographers in the world.
