Using Nik Collection as standalones

Nik Collection by Google  - newly free.  How to use without setting up as plug-ins: (1) For Dfine2, SHP3OS, SHP3RPS and Viveza 2,  in Windows environment,  you drag and drop your graphics file onto the  32-bit or 64-bit EXE version, depending on your OS.  I recommend you use copies of your graphics files, because saving will over-write all graphics loaded into whichever of these four app you're using.  (2) For Analog Efex Pro 2, Color EFex Pro 4, HDR Efex Pro 2, and Silver Efex Pro 2, in Windows environment, simply launch the 32-bit or the 63-bit EXE version,  depending on your OS.  Click the File option at top left-hand corner of the app window to open up the file selection dialogue.  Again, I recommend you use copies of your graphics files, because saving will over-write all graphics loaded into whichever of these four app you're using.

Otaku Camera-type software for Windows 8 64-bit ??

Tried a couple of Android emulators, none really working smoothly on 64-bit Windows 7 machine (don't want to bother testing these on my Windows 8 machine at this time).

The reason I am trying emulation is because I want to use Google Play apps for creating manga effects for individual pictures.

Target app is Otaku Camera by Tokyo Otaku Mode.  Unfortunately, as I've experienced, emulating Android on a Windows system is a lag-gy, choppy, experience.

Now if only someone could kindly either (1) write a GIMP plug-in which adds similar manga effects to a picture, or (2) port the app to a Windows 7 desktop environment, that would be very helpful !!

This is an online joke service to make own photos into trading cards, but the re-distribution of final contents may be subject to restrictions, if I read the ToS correctly.

By contrast, their ToS is more liberal, and you can make your cards online. Registration required.
