I think the 'Creative Cloud' connection is a bit misleading. That part of it appears to me at first glance to be all the online file storage and sharing and interaction stuff, while the actual...

It's a perpetual licence, so I'm talking about upgrading it every 18 months.

I guess you do actually 'buy' a licence to use it, but Adobe still owns the actual software asset. So still, either...

Except it's not a software puchase, it's a lease. You've never been able to 'buy' Adobe software.

So all that changes is it goes from a 18 month lease payment to a monthly lease payment.

I've just subscribed to it and it doesn't install updates unless you go to the Adobe Manager and click 'install updates', just like updating apps in iTunes.

All it does otherwise is say there's...

Pixelmator can open PSD files.

Or you can even stay with Adobe and just get Photoshop Elements 11 for $130 or thereabouts.

For hobbyists and non-pros there's Photoshop Elements, which isn't subscription as far as I can tell.

They just strip out all the 'industry' stuff like CMYK and soft-proofing and suchlike,...

Very true. Even Adobe knows this, which is why they also have Photoshop Elements which isn't on monthly subscription - the latest PSE 11 upgrade is roughly $100.

Gesture, it's only really Lightroom that may have that unreadability issue.

Non-Adobe apps like Pixelmator for instance can already open full Photoshop files including all layers and adjustments...

Jun2, I use Aperture only with 'referenced files' pointing/aliasing to the original files organized on the hard drive where I can access them at any time.

It's well worth reading up on how to...

Sorry 40daystogo, by "it" I meant the whole package - Adobe Creative Cloud - mainly for Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Basically upgrading from the full Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium...

I just signed up for it.

I swore CS4 was my last ever Adobe upgrade because it was a rort of $1000 or more basically every 18 months or so for the Design Suite. So coming from CS4 the monthly...

I imagine in future years it'll be just like ISP or mobile phone monthly prices over the past 20 years and drop dramatically, and then even throw in extra incentives like free domains, extra...

"What do you good people think - Rent or Buy?"

You can't buy any Adobe software. You can only licence it.

Every single copy of Adobe software in the world is owned by one entity - Adobe. Only...

They just call it a 28mm (equivalent) for marketing purposes. It's actually 18.3mm, as is written on the lens itself. So you'd get a better approximation using an 18-55mm zoom at the widest end...

If you are prepared to pay more for and expect good quality then you don't shoot JPG, period. That's the whole point of RAW.

Who actually buys any APSC-camera to shoot only in JPG? Put it this way, if cameras like this were JPG-only I'd say nobody would buy them.

Aggressive noise reduction is the pink/magenta smearing in the Coolpix A image which looks like a P&S compared to the GR's detail. As an aside, who shoots any APSC camera jpg-only anyway if they...

I think GR handles red well in real world tests.

That's the FF DSLR. This is a FF MILC. If Ricoh were to discontiue the GXR, then it would be for something like this to try and do better. Except they'll probably brand it Pentax if they go with a...
