Their new version (2018.5) for Windows finally fixed an issue I
complained to them about at least a year ago. When in develop mode,
and arrow keying through the filmstrip, it changes to the next photo
pretty much instantly now. The delay of at least a few seconds (with
raw files) used to drive me nuts. I'm assuming that they also fixed a
related crash issue, but I haven't checked that yet.

2018.5 is also a free upgrade if you own 2018. Some of their
promotional emails seemed to imply that you had to pay for an upgrade.
They also have a promotional price for their latest version of NIK. I
believe it's $49.

According to one of my friends, the $49 bucks, did not get him an
improved product. I will wait and see, i there are any substantial
improvements

It is the same old NIK collection Google bought so they could get their hands
on Snapseed, and then abandoned until they sold it to DxO.

I will say that DxO fixed a few of the issues Google left unfixed for the Mac
edition, and now it works as it should on my Mac, but it is not an earth
shattering revolutionary product. It is all the same stuff. It is just nice
to have some of the tools I had bought from NIK at high prices, and had
become familiar with, working properly again.


I emphasize with your feeling. Fortunately for my wallet, I only
purchased Silver Efex at the student price, because I was taking a photo
course at the Maine Media Workshops. IIRC I bought the rest of the suite
for about a buck and a half at Photo Expo. Several months later they
sold to Google. I complained about being overcharged, and they gave me a
refund of about $50.

My only complaint about the NIK collection is that i keep getting an
annoying pop up window every time I open PS.
