Love or Hate Adobe?

Adobe software is great no doubt. Photoshop, InDesign, Dreamweaver, etc. are all best-in-class graphic and photo art applications.

Every time a new release is announced I cringe! I know after trying out the products, I must have them! In my studio we have 4 PC’s and 4 Mac’s. Adobe only allows cross license on Lightroom. The CS Suite and Photoshop applications must be purchased for the PC and MAC separately. Adobe does allow running two copies of each license thinking one is on the desktop and one mobile.

We always pay for what we use and don’t allow any rouge downloads. Keep it clean and legal. So easy come easy go! The trial period for CS Suite Premium was up today. Just sent Adobe store over $1,800 and that was just for the upgrades. Over the years I guess we have invested well over $20,000 on Adobe products. Who says software only products don’t pay!

Makes you wonder why Adobe sells photoshop at a higher price then lightroom. I know photoshop can do more, but still. It's a big difference.

I agree. They could lower the price on the whole suite just a tad. But I guess that is asking too much.

The amount of research and development, plus coding that goes into photoshop is a lot more extreme than lightroom.

Off on a slight tangent about photo editors: Anyone use Corel Photo Pro X3? What's your opinion.

Shoot, learn and share. It will make you a better photographer.

When you buy the master suite, start saving for the next update. That's what I do. ;)

LOL it's like when instead of buying something with a credit card and paying it off bit by bit, you collect the money bit by bit THEN use the money to buy that thing.

It's how you can avoid your wife seeing the credit card statement. :whistle:

Then she finds out anyways, and you don't know about it, until she decides to use it against you.
