lol, I am no shill. I just believe in free markets. Let them change their pricing model and if it fails they will be forced to change again or go out of business.

You fail to grasp the point. But a sincere good luck with your new endeavor.

howard you sound just like the CEO of Adobe; the same arrogance and concern for your self interest. Believe me, most of your customers only sign that agreement because they have no other choice -...

Adobe won't call you to take back your processed images (in TIFF, JPEG, etc) either. They want to rent the tool to you and allow you to keep the output. Just like a wedding photographer. Even...

Geez Henry. Way to drag yourself into the gutter with the anti-American tirade. Spoken about other people it would be considered racist.

No it isn't a big difference. That's like saying that once you process an image with Adobe you can do anything you want with it. But to reprocess next month? That will cost extra. Ironic, isn't...

Actually, many wedding photographers do not give the negatives to their customers. They charge every time at their own rates if someone wants more prints.

Thinking aloud ... I think the way a lot of these posters feel is the way most people feel when they get the bill for their wedding photographer

Sony should take advantage of all of this uproar and bundle software with PS layer type functionality with its Alpha line. This would give them the push they need to capture more of the...

But you do have a choice Gary. You can choose not to buy a subscription and use something else.

dino - my math was spot on. Go back and read what I wrote. The total cost for the first 3 years is $600. You will also have received during that period what would have been the next "upgrade"...

If a business can't absorb a $20 monthly expense, then they have bigger problems! As with anything else, though, these businesses will pass the cost along to their customers.

In your situation, I would agree the old pricing model would be better.

Just let your wallet do the talking, then, and buy something else when you think your photos need more than CS6 is capable of delivering.

Ok, you're just being silly now ...

Congrats on the new NEX :-)  Enjoy.

Some perspective?

$10/month for the first year = $120
$20/month for the second year = $240
$20/month for the third year = $240
Total cost for 3 years = $600

CS6 $600

And there is no upgrade cost...
