Yes, it is. Once you own it, you own it. I currently "own" (license) CS6. You can use it over and over. Once you rent it, you never own it. One day the owner will call you and ask for it back,...

Umm, yes I know. It's how I (we) make money. However, once you have a print, you have it. You can frame it, you can put in into an album, you can make a mouse pad out of it or whatever your...

I WISH I could charge my customers like this. "If you want to keep looking at your photos, pay me $20 a month for life". Stop paying and you can't see them. Sweet. The reality is of course, I...

"Some perspective?
$10/month for the first year = $120
$20/month for the second year = $240
$20/month for the third year = $240
Total cost for 3 years = $600
CS6 $600
And there is no upgrade cost...

"Seriously.
Adobe is not a non-profit.
Adobe is not a charity.
Adobe does not owe you anything.
They are in business to make money. Software piracy costs them millions of dollars a year. This goes...

I completely agree with you on this, Guidenet.
One possible option is to find an alternative converter, e.g. DXO that renders to your taste and send the resulting tiff to photoshop for further...

Can we please pick more than one? The first two are my main irritants though the third, oddly, comes in third for me.

Regardless, whatever we the users say, write, feel, Adobe knows they have a...

"If Adobe really want to charge people for new features, why not add the option to allow us to pay for future ACR updates? I'm perfectly happy with everything in Photoshop CS6, so for me ACR is the...

CarlosC....Check the Adobe website and you ought to be able to find the pages that actually list abilities of Elements. For one, you're stuck in 8-bit (for the most part) so for many that's a deal...

You've got it wrong. They care about your wallet and how it's far to stuffed with cash. They'd like to help you lighten it.

He has a career in politics. Classic example of answering a question by stating a fact that has nothing to do with the question.

Oh, so now Adobe has cut off the pirates have they? Good. So that means higher revenue right? So why have they at the same time effectively doubled the price along with it? Because they can. ...

The issue that Adobe is ignoring and some people are forgetting is that third party plugins have usually been far better at doing what they do than Adobe's attempts. Adobe should have in the past...

And how actually have you come to the conclusion that most people here have pirated any software from adobe? And have you actually done some simple math here? Legit users are now going to be...

Maybe not a year from now but at some point those that find they can't live without it will be forced to due to unsupported OS or plugins. In the meantime, I'll be finally be seriously looking at...

Your revenue stream must be pretty sweet if you don't mind shelling out $600/yr. Don't forget a few things though. Not everyone lives in the U.S. and currency values fluctuate so other countries...
