I use Topaz, don't know who else this affects.

"Topaz Labs, the software company known for offering free software upgrades, has announced a major change to its business model: customers will have to pay to upgrade several of the company's products starting in August 2020. The announcement was made by company CEO Eric Yang in a statement on Thursday. Gigapixel AI, DeNoise AI, Sharpen AI and Mask AI are all affected by the change."

Dang. Almost going the Adobe route

Not sure I'll bother with paying for updates. I don't do enough photography to merit the expense.

Not quite Adobe's subscription model. I would only upgrade if there was a significant change that suits. Not things like wireless, Bluetooth or phone connection being added

I still use Faststone Image viewer. It works, it's free and it appeals to my simple mind.
Both the *istDS and the K5 are incurably addicted to old glass
