"Ownership of Nik has passed from Google to DxO if my info is correct" Your info appears correct. But it is a little late as I know many have abandoned NIK long ago because Google was not truly supporting it, that includes myself. On1 and Luminar (soon) either already fill that gap or will soon. I am glad though, NIK may not completely go away. Steve

Selecting edit in photoshop cc crashes photoshop cc 2018. On closing Photoshop cc and sending the crash report; Lightroom classic then crashes in that the film strip goes white. OK, obviously this may be a video card issue. I have the latest drivers and while Photoshop has always worked with this card itself; it is a Quadro M2000 that Lightroom has never worked with and ADOBE DOES KNOW THOSE ISSUES EXIST, but seem to care not to fix it. My previous answer from them after I spent $400 for a card that met their general specifications was in a snotty way, get a new video card. Previously the first time I would send a photo to photoshop sometimes Photoshop would disable the driver, but closing down and trying again the GPU could be used in Photoshop as usual. I know the issue is related to Lightroom and Lightroom Classic, because it never happens when just using Photoshop and such issues are why I have been using Lightroom for cataloging only. There are far better options (including camera raw and third party) for processing raw files anyway. Let me clarify, the disabling of using the GPU in Lightroom has always mostly worked; now it does not. Also saying the issue is related to Lightroom and Lightroom classic, does not necessarily mean the issue is video related, I am stating only the evidence points that way. If the problem cannot be fixed or Adobe is still hell bent on not fixing Quadro card issues in Lightroom (yes, I know some Quadro cards work, but many do not), then can somebody give me a way to revert back to the previous version of Lightroom without causing more problems. The alternative is to abandon Lightroom, which in many ways seems to be what Adobe is doing. As noted better alternatives exist. My apologies if I missed a post on this issue and it has been answered

First, larger companies have bought out smaller ones; we have NIK, purchased by Google and Jasc was acquired by Corel. NIK was abandoned and actually the current Paint Shop Pro is not bad; just not promoted all that well. My personal feeling is, the current updates show where the priorities of Adobe is and it is not Lightroom Classic, seems to be cloud based and cross platform; nice if you trust cloud security (I do NOT).

Between the lines I am saying that competition is good for consumers; what is bad is when companies (software and retail), get so big and have resources, they can use to start start eliminating competition or try to become a one stop shop.

I used the word suspect, but those with newer cameras have benefited from their camera being added to the minor update we continue to see. My issue with Lightroom and Photoshop cc both is the quality of support and sometimes the attitude of support. Yes the update is out and for me and how I use software, I found little to be excited about. Lightroom has little added other software is not already doing as good or better and they have not addressed the fact that not all video cards that work well with Photoshop, will even work with Lightroom for performance enhancement. I believe the coming version of On1 Photo raw has address every "needed" short coming it previously had and it will become my primary Raw software, with my use of Lightroom decreasing all the more. As I have previously stated, this is simply my opinion, I know a lot of people will disagree publicly while some of them may agree privately. In another post you made statements about the business model, it is hard to argue it is not currently working for them, but if they continue to focus on all the wrong things, they risk losing business long term. The number of choices people have is growing, so there is a real need for changes, if Adobe wishes to keep Photographers; they will always be #1 for creative artist and designers, especially with so many improvements benefiting those groups.

To clarify, some of the information given on the rumors page, would seem to be covered by a non-disclosure agreement; I did not mean to imply a new version is not coming; the fact ACR was updated and not Lightroom should be all the evidence needed. But except for cataloging, I have moved on from Lightroom and the comment I got from their so-called support on a video card issue is one reason and past and coming improvements to other software is a second reason.

Most certainly pros are using the cloud, but as far as I am concerned any Lightroom Update will need to be drastic. In my opinion, Lightroom is great for cataloging photos and little else. Video cards that work well with Photoshop will not work well in Lightroom. When you contact support, the answer (I got) is purchase a different card. Other products are now better than Lightroom, so personally I use Photoshop cc, camera raw, and appropriate plug-ins that have advanced beyond Lightroom. (my opinion) The above said; logically, given that camera raw was updated and Lightroom was not; any update will be soon. There are rumors about a upcoming release reportedly from a beta tester, but I would find any details suspect since any beta tester would normally be bound by a confidentiality agreement and revealing anything would probably be breaking that agreement. A lot of people have remarked about the lack of a recent update, but there was a survey sent out a few months ago and a question or so on the survey addressed the desired frequency of updates, I suspect a lot of people opted for fewer but more major updates, based on how little (again my opinion) Lightroom has improved the past few months.
