I tend to believe LR will not be integrated into a monthly cost program.  I'm going to keep my copy updated; compared to PS it's a far less costly investment, and it does 95% of what I do with my...

In my 13 years on DPR, I can't remember anything coming close to the waling and gnashing of teeth brought about by Adobe.  Sure, users always gripe about how this or that camera doesn't have this...

So what version of PS are you asking about?  CS6 is still available as a stand-alone, one-time purchase (or upgrade from CS5) from Adobe.  You get an activation key required to enable it.  After...

Still a waste of time & resources.  Simplest solution - use something else.  Adobe will get the message if enough people do not buy in to their scheme.  While the vast majority of users don't like...

...but not for editing.  I have Qimage Pro, and have looked at the interface for Ultimate.  They're not that much different, and while Qimage is excellent for printing or creating files that I'll...

It is only "inferior" inasmuch as it does not have features you want.  So buy something else.

You very clearly missed the point.

The justice system is screwed up and agonizingly slow at prosecuting true criminals because of pointless litigation just like you are suggesting.  Let the justice system concern themselves with...

No, they can't win because of the new money grabbing business model for CS products. Actually the market for LR has been expanding; I know far more people that use LR than just a couple years...

No, I use Lightroom.  I find it has far more controls, and I like the interface much better. Mark

I leave the Picture Style on Standard and shoot raw, and do any adjustments during conversion.   Mark

Sorry, but this is not the right lens to use indoors in low light.  Zoomed to full tele you get f/6.3 max.  You've compounded the problem by choosing an aperture of f/16 in the second photo, which...

How so?

No, it is not cheap.  I upgraded in '04 to CS from Elements for $300.  I've upgraded twice since then to CS4, the most recent in 2008 for $200 each time.  I haven't upgraded since then.  Let's...

Correct, I wasn't trying to be a wiseguy.  A friend of mine was using a point & shoot outdoors and was complaining that he couldn't see the screen.  I suggested he lift up his sunglasses...voila! ...

So why wouldn't a G1X successor be the G2X?

Thanks, I'm going to check that out.

One answer: money.

No more upgrades for CS4 and older versions. The upgrade pricing for older versions ran out at the end of 2012. Only CS5 owners can upgrade.
