The Lightroom migration tool is very interesting. For the first time, there's a way to carry over your nondestructive edits. The implications are fascinating. First, this puts pressure on Adobe to keep developing improvements to LR. Second, while I'm very happy with LR, Adobe had better not raise the price. Here's a little video showing the migration tool: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88SjWr1lA3k

ON1 tells me it is designed by professional photographers. What I like about it is that it is a one time payment and you own it. As far as I can tell it does everything I ever used in Photoshop and Lightroom. On1 2019 is available now and if anyone is interested their additional plus program includes monthly tips, and a slew of Photo courses. Just my two cents.

The only downside is that even with 'plus' membership, there are occasional upgrade costs.....

If you have the Plus membership it includes the new version update.

That is true, but not the next full update after this one according to the folks I spoke to. It's worth the plus membership regardless.

While updates to On1 are gratis, they seem to have new versions pretty frequently. First I bought Photo Raw 2017, then 2018 came out, then 2018.5, and now 2019 is early enough that there is almost certainly going to be a 2019.5. And each new version seems to be in the $59 to $79 range to upgrade. I like the product, but find myself willingly skipping versions like I did with LR until I went with their subscription which added PS to my toolbox.

If we are to be brutally honest, all software is trying to do what Photoshop already does. The key is a more friendly user interface and work flow to accomplish the same things. I'm discounting the new AI capabilities, because most who truly enjoy PP don't want some piece of AI software telling them how to do it.....

All of the updates to a version are free, ON1 Photo RAW 2018.5 was a free update to 2018. Any updates to the 2019 version will be free until the 2020 version comes out.
