The key asset in the deal appears to be Nik’s iOS photo app [Snapseed](http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=r*bqlTuiXSo&offerid=146261&type=3&subid=0&tmpid=1826&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252Fus%252Fapp%252Fsnapseed%252Fid439438619%253Fmt%253D8%2526uo%253D4%2526partnerId%253D30)[^f5756]. My main concern, however, is what does this mean for the future of Nik’s professional-level plugins for Apeture and Lightroom? If Google starts killing off these plugins, today could be remembered as a very dark day for photo processing software.
