onOne snew suite 5 for £229, worth it?

[Shutterbox]

Supposedly a £200 discount.

Is it worth buying at this (or any) price?

Thanks

Anything is worth it if you have a need for it and use it.

Fantastic bit of kit, all the plugins in one pack. I've downloaded the trial works very well.

I have the plugins and it is very good, I mainly use mask pro.

I have it - the reviews are good - the software is good - but I find sometimes it hangs on me for no particular reason when using phototools 2.5. I start in lightroom - edit in photoshop - switch to phototools 2.5 - apply an effect - then it just tells me it couldn't do it. The 'explanation' as to why is lacking - and I don't know why it does it..

Another annoyance is that when I export from lightroom to photoshop - my images are 16 bit - but a lot of the tools in phototools will only work with 8 bit - which means coming out changing settings and going back in again... Very frustrating - as the software when working on fairly large images isn't the quickest in the world. There's sometimes enough time to go for a cuppa and come back while it's working out what it's doing with itself.

Love the software - love the options - hate the speed and the random crashes...
