For commercials no problem, you can (nearly) do what you like. For editorials you must not distort the images too much. So careful with strong or artficial color "corrections".

Copyright violation of the software itself or what? Why would it be? The old Nik collection (Google) was free at some point and it is still offered by DxO for free (the old one).

That red underlined part is about support, not copyright ownership Like you, I was wondering why the OP brought up potential copyright violation when a NIK filter was applied. Unless....... 2 Link to post Share on other sites

MJD Graphics Posted March 30, 2020 Share Posted March 30, 2020 Of course you can use the Nik plugins they are free from Google and I actually purchased the original Plugins. Just don't name them in your descriptions and KW's. I use them a lot especially the Silver FX for B/W. Link to post Share on other sites
