For those that do follow this procedure, I suggest you also keep in mind;
-
The DxO versions of the Nik Collection has seen continual gradual improvements in the “foundations” of these tools - bringing them up-to-date with latest technologies & OSs, etc
-
It would not be at all unexpected for DxO to release some major updates in future versions.
So, even if you do install the Free version for now, I recommend you keep an eye out for the features & benefits of each new DxO release …
