[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 133482, member: 9240"] FYI - just to put him on the record, Scott Kelby mentioned this price drop yesterday and stated that he believes that it may mean the death of these plugins. His thought is "Why would a company as big as Google be concerned about something like Photoshop and Lightroom Plugins?" I hope he's wrong, because I sat through a demonstration of onOne Software's similar tool package "Perfect Photo Suite" and it's about the same price as Nik used to be, and still requires the layer mask hassles of Photoshop instead of the ease of the Control Points. That said, he also said later in the day that he's abandoned doing B&W conversions in Photoshop and just uses Silver Efex Pro 2, "just like every other photographer he knows", so who knows? I know that the post-announcement webinars have promised continued support, so I'll take them at their word until they change their minds. The fact that Google announced that it won't be supporting Capture NX2 yesterday isn't so surprising (my opinion) since it's a brand-specific package, and it makes more sense for them to concentrate on the entire market and not just a good chunk of it.
