Most print houses want high-res PDF flight-ready output anyway, nowadays. Sure, you can send your full INDD project but it is larger, does not included embedded fonts (must be included...

So now they have created a condition where a portion of that pre-training circumstance will be lost, lost due to the lack of affordability. Home and SoHo users will drop out, schools will switch...

Yes, indeed, that is probably Adobe's (read: probably more the CEO's personally created) scheme.

The *problem* is the ignorant short-sightedness of it all.

Adobe is a market leader BECAUSE a vast...

I would be more worried about future access to any projects I create as a professional than short-term benefits, if I were truly "professional".

Which I am.

The idea that one must continue to...

Adobe's competition are probably toasting themselves for their newly-found fortunes - their worst competitor has just self-imploded.

Who could ask for anything more?!

"Each time Apple upgrades their OS every year, it breaks many previous versions of software, so if OSX 10.9 breaks CS6, then everyone is stuffer, or can't get new Macs."

Hmm. That seems to be a...

I clicked on choice #1, "Having to repeatedly pay to retain access", but in actuality I am concerned about all of the first four topics. Conveniently, they are even listed in the priority order of...

The protests focus on Photoshop but it is even WORSE for InDesign users.

Photoshop works with industry-standard image formats - JPEG, GIF, TIFF, etc - and "can" save in its proprietary format,...

Many institutions and schools have workstations without internet access, for security concerns. Adobe CC needs...

Actually, the cheapest you can get for a two year plan is $360 - the $10/month rate is a first year introductory rate ONLY.

People need to correct their understanding of the prices involved.

@riveredger

How are you figuring that "math", for there is NO $10/month long-term subscription plan.

The $10/month is an introductory price for the first year ONLY., to select individuals only....

Forget what Adobe is trying to sell you and what they claim is no longer available. CS6 upgrade disks are available for boxed purchase on the internet...but they are not cheap. Question yourself...

Those claims seem to be geographically-driven as European internet posters have questioned the possibility of triggering the EU's anti-competitive...

Precisely right.  "Version" can be stated from the developers direction - code base - or from the customer direction - how many different methods of operation does it have, or how many are offered...

True, after a fashion.  It is reasonable to say that there will be one version of the base code.  However, by direct quotation, there will be two versions of the product - boxed LR, and LR on...

ljfinger wrote:I'm right. See the bottom of the thread or go to LR Journal. Hmm.  So the only way for both to be true is for Adobe to be speaking out of both sides of its mouth. How surprising...

That is certainly all possible, but it rather goes against one of Adobe's (weak) claims of unifying the code base if they fork the releases in such a manner.  If they are going to have 2 different...

You want "cloud", without all the negatives?  It's called "personal cloud"!  Did it for myself 3 months ago. You have a NAS device, or a DAS / internal drive connected to a NAS router or computer,...
