I've found that every version has had at least one significant new feature that made it worth the upgrade...for me...everyone has different needs.

Hmmm, wonder what the alternative for pro video editing is for windows?

Sorry I don't like that philosophy. That is the same kind of thinking that wants to do away with copyright and use our photos for free. Software companies should be allowed to make money just the...

I would have preferred to see only two options - price vs subscription. I don't mind the subscription option at all. I have many versions of Photoshop which I bought that are now sitting in CD...

Still I do think it is appropriate to pay for quality software just like we pay for cameras and lenses. I suppose one can donate to Gimp.

I agree and I think this is where people should be focussing their disapproval.

Their products are very good and generally worth the money. We tend to have a different feeling about software than we do about solid objects like cameras even though there is just as much...

I'm sure they will also have a telephone option.

Maybe dpreview should do a poll to try and separate the rage. Is it the subscription model or is it the pricing. For me it is the pricing because I think Adobe should be able to charge less...

I imagine you have put together a price comparison between the purchased software and this new system for your school. What is the difference?

More out of curiosity than anything I don't understand the comment about Mac users.  Are you saying that Mac users can't use older versions of Adobe software because of the Intel processor switch?

The worst thing for most users is not the subscription model but that it is essentially a price increase..this happening when most other software is coming down in price.

Question - Does the multiple software subscription also include Lightroom?

It all depends on your needs. The cost of cellphone service is ridiculous yet most people go ahead and rent it. Many people need Adobe products. What are you going to replace them with?

I have a feeling that most of the people who are against this move are not what Adobe feels are great customers. They could be like me, who only upgrades every other release, or worse.

I don't like this move by Adobe but I also don't think $50 a month is a lot of money for a professional who uses the software daily. People pay more per month for their cellphone subscription.

Really this whole stupid thread was caused by the "Why bother with Apple" comment. Just a troll accomplishing what he set out to do.

Regarding the shares dropping, I guess we can trust Wall Street to make the right decisions.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Alan Arbus of M*A*S*H fame, who died the other day. He and his wife Diane had a photography business before he became an actor and she went on to a solo career.
