Thanks, saw these and plowed my way to most of them, but was more interested in the opinion/views of the dedicated DxO PL using crowd at the M forum.

Kindest regards,

Me too. I'd like to upgrade from PL5, however I have a hard time swallowing a $100 upgrade once a year.... starting to feel like a 'subscription' to me, and I'm pretty happy with Deep Prime and the product as it is, I don't feel a need to move up. But I too will be reading the reviews and reports carefully.

There's nothing wrong with skipping an upgrade, you still get the upgrade discount next time.  I've not upgraded ViewPoint since I bought it with OpticsPro 9.  (In the bad old days, smart people only bought the even numbered versions of AutoCAD, because AutoDesk introduced new features in the odd numbered versions and actually got them to work in the even numbered versions.)

I may hold out and wait for black friday when they typically discount the upgrade price. That's what I did last year.

I did look at some of the early sample comparisons of Deep Prime vs its upgrade Deep prime XD, and didn't think it was a huge difference.... in fact in some cases I preferred the Deep Prime result, found some of the XD results looking too water-color-like for my taste.
