We have no idea what he’s developing or how it would look or work or how it would compare to anything that currently exists. We also have no idea when it might hit the market assuming he gets enough funding and ever completes it. Until then, there is no real product that people can use and compare, it’s just so much air.
Iterestingly, he named the company Abode, a very slight play on Adobe, and he uses virtually the same graphic A with a slight modification. I find that very suspect, but if this guy is legitimate, the name and branding for his new company is certainly not creative and is probably a copyright infringement.
I believe If he ever gets off the ground with this project and continues to use that name and graphic for his business he will be sued by Adobe and would probably lose. Of course, the whole thing could just be a spoof of kickstarter projects. I didn’t really spend the time reading the entire thing to see if it’s just a joke.
Hello,
I’ve found this article How to use several filters at the same time? – Help center (dxo.com)
which said “If you hover over the filter with your mouse, you will see a “plus” button - click it to add this filter next to the already added one.” but I do not get the + sign. Im on Nik 6.3 fot testing
look at the + sign beside detail extractor. when you hover your mouse over a filter, that’s what you’ll get, to add it you just need to click on the + sign, if you click on the filter itself, it will replace the one you are already on. ex if you alreayd put cross balance and you click on detail extractor without using the + sign, cross balance will be replace by detail extractor. that’s how Nik works.
It used to be the case that you could hold the Shift-key whilst clicking on a (new) filter, and it would be added to the stack … Unfortunately, tho, this handy feature was lost with v6.3
How come I never received any coupon? And why is this sooo complicated? Ok, I bought it on September 12th, and it’s not solved yet. Please, DXO, send me the coupon

Can anyone comment on how useful the promoted Fstoppers tutorials are for someone like me who doesn’t use Adobe or Affinity software (which call the Nik apps as plugins) but instead uses PhotoLab primarily?
I downloaded the tutorials and had a first look at the one about PureRaw.
Found it to be well structured and presented, spoken clearly and slowly enough for a non-native observer to follow what’s being said. I did not like the subtitles though and downloaded the English version instead.
My interest in such material is less with the technical aspects of the tools, but in how people use different tools for similar effects…and one can always learn a thing or two
G’day Greg - I don’t have the Fstoppers tuts either - - but I wouldn’t reckon they’d spend much time on the interface between the Nik tools and “host” apps, as that’s not a significant part of the process of using them (the Nik tools) … it’s just the means of passing image-files from one app to the other.
In my own use of the Nik tools (via PL), I handle the interface “manually”, rather than via PL’s “Plug-in Selector” (because the latter does not allow the output location to be specified - and I don’t like the interface file being created in same folder as the RAW) … and, for the Nik tools that allow this feature, I save the Nik equivalent of a ~.dop file (effectively an XML file, in .json format) - so that I can come back later, if I need/wish, to revisit my Nik treatments.
