Yes - that looks like a smarter move by the minute from Google. Better for 90% of users than PS will ever be.

I agree - LR will be next, no matter what they say right now.

I actually hope they don't. I hope they crash and burn and are only ever heard of in the same breath as Betamax.

Both of them...

I thought George Bush was a bad president?

None of the above. There are better products and I have been using them for years.

You can't get decent coffee drinks at Starbucks.

Poor you. Not. CS 6 Design Standard is approx £1,500 equivalent in NZ. CS6 Design & Web Premium is approx £2,100 equivalent here. CS6 Photoshop Extended is approx £1,100. Price is just one reason...

Aperture + Nik plug ins.

Won't make the slightest difference to me. I do not own PS or any other Adobe product other than Acrobat reader! I hate PS - it's popularity is really a legacy of a time when there were few if any...

This is possibly Inane Thread Of The Week.

Never used it yet, won't be starting now.

For 90% of photographers, PS is complete overkill.

My advice is avoid CO.

You can get good results but I have never found it very stable.

Available for now. Adobe won't run two licensing methods for very long.

But Aperture is not...and it is better than LR if you run a Mac.
