Big pile of poop if you ask me. The quality is as crappy as a smartphone video. Why not use the video capability on the dSLR and make a quality video?

That activation free version of CS2 was falsely reported. It never happened.

It was way cheaper to upgrade every 1.5 to 4 years than to pay monthly extortion payments. Upgrades were $199 which covered a 1.5 to 4 year period. Monthly over same perios will be $350 to $950....

If you had CS4 or CS5 you could have updated to CS6 for $199. That is the boat most of us are own, the upgrade boat. So $199 for 1.5 to 4 years of use verses $239 every single year for 1.5 to 4...

I suspect LR 5 will be the final perpetual software version. After that Adobe will take it into the CC only world too. Best to start weaning yourself of LR now.

What about the laws that ensure a software company maintains and supports a software release for X amount of years? Those of us who bought CS6 with the assumption that we could upgrade to CS7 and...

You do realize that CS5 (and CS6 for that matter) will never get another ACR update, right? Your CS5 will be okay for editing non-RAW formats and whatever RAW you have from your current cameras,...

That's stupid, it would cost me more than their ridiculously over priced CC as they currently list it. I routinely work on hundreds of RAW files from a single shoot. I damn sure wouldn't pay...

I would have chosen all above except the last item if it had been a choice.

I would sign a petition, but I'm not giving my personal info out to that web site just to sign. Screw that. They need petition that doesn't appear to be a data mining operation.

This response makes me even more furious at Adobe. First, the jacka$$ evaded almost all the questions just like a politician. And the DPReview interviewer allowed him to get away with it! Second,...

Everyone keeps talking about piracy. Piracy used to be a big problem, but I doubt it is nearly as bad as it once was. Modern software like PS requires a serial number and a handshake with the Adobe...

My guess is Adobe is assuming they have us by the short hairs and we will have no other options. If so, their assumption may well prove to be a costly one to their business model. I think there are...

From an Adobe blog:

"Q: If you’re going to continue selling Photoshop CS6, will I still get Camera Raw updates?

A: Because Adobe is still selling Photoshop CS6, those customers will continue to...

It goes back farther than that on the Mac. I first used it when I worked as a technical writer for the US Coast Guard in the late 1980s. I think it is about 25 years old now, maybe a little more...

I posted my thoughts on getting reamed by Adobe on their Facebook page. They responded with this info about Lightroom:

Adobe: "Hi Jack, Lightroom will continue to be available as a perpetual...
