I agree. Do they think no one would notice their current problems? If they made some commitments to US, the consumers, about the product then we'd be more inclined to commit our money to them. Sure, we'd realize any product, or company, can go away (as those of us who bought Nik from Nik know, or even got it from Google know...hello DxO, do you realize there's a pattern here? the Curse of Nik?). But a roadmap and some future upgrade commitments would probably be sufficient. But being opaque seems more the norm with software developers. Too bad; their loss.

I thought of buying it, but I'm reluctant to without a clearer indication of where DxO is headed with Nik, and not only for Nik's former products but also Photolab (for me it's an upgrade cost, having bought Nik years ago). Will Nik stuff besides u-point selection be integrated into Photolab? will you be able to send RAW to Nik plugins? Apparently they've added "Open..." menus so you can use them standalone, but otherwise there isn't much integration with Photolab that I've seen. And having used Nik for a long time I dunno...everything else seems to have caught up and/or passed them. I still like Silver Efex, but I'm finding with the new profiles in Lr I can get some similar results faster.
