Nik 5.0: Has anyone upgraded to the newest Nik suite, the 5.0? I emphasize "upgraded" because I want to hear differences between old and new. Anyone?

Yes, I upgraded. Do you have a specific question?

I have upgraded to NIK 5 too. For me the additions of Luminance and Color adjustments to Control Points in Color Efex Pro made it worthwhile. Other features may make it worthwhile to you. More info here: Try it and then decide.

If I go to one of the NIK components and click on their logo, I see something like this:
For Silver Efex Pro 2, the version information says V. 5.0.3.101 X64 (V3.3.0).

For Color Efex Pro 4, it's also V. 5.0.3.101 X64 (3.3.0).

Since I know I didn't buy version 5, I presumably have version 3.3.0. When I use the chart Linda so kindly provided, I come to the conclusion that they haven't made a compelling number of changes.
