For those with a few more demands of their photo editing software, it serves

Luminar is a worthy successor.

I just updated my CC products. Adobe's Photoshop CC 2018 replaced the
previous version, and dropped NIK as a plug-in. I re-installed NIK
and it's now back in the FILTER drop-down.

I wonder about the "doomed" prediction. I know it will no longer be
supported or upgraded, but all that really means is that it won't be
available to use if the OS changes and the current download would not
be accepted. All current versions of all software are doomed.

I'm not sure what is going on with Adobe. My CC 2018 does not include
some of the features they've been banging on about. No pen curve
tool, no additional brushes. CC 2018 seems exactly the same as the
version it replaced except for little pop-ups describing tools.

Perhaps they are staggering the additions into future updates for some
of us. It's not of concern to me as I've never been a big user of the
pen tool.

Which release do you have?
My release is 19.0 and I have the pen tools. So far My only issue is the
selection masking and focus selection.
