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. That wasn’t an issue I had noticed with the Mac edition. 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. They? These days NIK is owned and distributed/sold by DxO. I seriously doubt that On1 has a NIK Collection that they are selling. Oops - you're right, it's DXO. I think that most understood you were talking about DXO.m The only reasons I used it before were for its denoise and lens distortion correction. Now I find that the new Topaz Denoise works extremely well, although there is a slight learning curve, and the lens distortion correction in PS sees to work pretty well. YMMV For NR I had used NIK Define, and then Macphun’s (now Skylum) Noisless CK which is now integrated into Luminar. It is a NR app which can apply a very adjustable NR either to the entire image, or selectively in a way I find superior to the way it is done with NIK Define. I am yet to be sold on Topaz stuff. Despite Skylum's claims, there are functions that have not yet been implemented in the PC version. I don't see the need to go into details. That’s OK, I was just pointing out that the NR within Luminar (the macOS version anyway) was particularly good, even when compared with NIK Define. Having said that, I purchased Aurora, and found that it helped to produce a reasonable HDR image, but I had issues going back an forth from from Aurora to LR. I contacted Skylum support, and they were aware of the issue. I take it you opened Aurora from LR via the Plug-ins Extras menu, rather than as a standalone? Yep! If so are you having issues saving the finished Aurora HDR/or tone mapped single back to LR? I save it to the same directory it came from, but have to import the image into LR. It does not work that way with the Apple O/S. I would have a similar issue with On1, except that with On1 there is an "edit in," option and I don't have that issue. Also, Aurora works as a PS plugin, but every time I tr, it keeps telling me to update. I Already updated Aurora. I will try again on Monday, as I have an image that I want to try to tone map with Aurora. My workaround is a real PITA: open the image in Aurora, make the adjustments, place the Aurora image as a layer on my PS image and save. There's gotta be a better way. I am really getting tired of being an unpaid beta tester. I understand glitches, and that **** happens, but I think the publisher has an obligation to tell me about known bugs, and then I can make an informed decision. Watchagonnado.
