It seems to me that Adobe and its defenders are completely missing the fact that photographers, perhaps in a way that is different from other creative disciplines, are creating work which we expect...

I certainly agree with your sentiments about using CS6 until I absolutely have to move on—and then praying that a good alternative emerges in the meantime. I can't imagine ever choosing to rent...

I wondered if Nik/Google has had second thoughts about eliminating Snapseed for the desktop. Nik/Google is the company that first comes to mind as being able to take advantage of this competitive...

To summarize, yes, Adobe knows they're screwing photographers and, no, they don't care. Yes, you will lose the ability to access your PSD's and other Adobe-formatted files the moment you quit...

What outfitter did you travel with? Was it photo-centric?

Love the article, Eric. What an experience.

I wonder if your initial assumption, $2500 for the suite, is accurate. My employer pays less than half of that. You do raise an interesting issue though. I wonder if this move will stop piracy...

I'd love to know the real story behind all this. Regardless of the true response to Creative Cloud, you would expect Adobe to say that "everyone wants to rent software but you" once they decided...

@wlad This is the problem, isn't it? When once company becomes so dominant in an industry they start to feel like they can extort money from their customer base. It's hard for me to view this...

To be clear, you install the software locally. But, at least to this point, if your computer doesn't contact the Adobe mothership at least once a month to verify your subscription it will stop...

I don't get your comment. Your dentist provides a service. Although Adobe would like to adopt the software-as-a-service model, it is not inherently so.

You talk about tools. How many carpenters...

Wow. Isn't this what many people feared when Adobe first announced its scheme to rent software? I can still hear Adobe apologist Scott Kelby bleating "You don't HAVE to rent it. You can still...

That all sounds good until someone sues you because they own a patent on all objects with square corners.

For the vast majority, LR4 is so inexpensive now that cost is almost irrelevant compared to the price of gear. Given this, I don't see the point of reviewing low end freeware.

Completely agree. 30% reduction in weight = impressive. 30% reduction in girth = meh.
