DPReview link (yeah I know)
I am less concerned about the other crap cause I don't need PS much at all and I certainly don't use the rest of the suite for web stuff (prob great value for those that use it all)....
Around LR specifically: This bit raises my eyebrow... bend zee needs is how I read it :-/ At some point these features will effectively kill the buy model for LR IMO (if they just don't kill it in the near future after LR5 anyway).
Bryan O'Neil Hughes - Lightroom is for photographers. And the Lightroom team is very aware of the reaction by photographers to Photoshop CC. We don't have plans to make Lightroom a subscription-only option but we do envision added functionality for CC members using Lightroom. |

So, first we get the word that we must buy CS5 to be able to upgrage to to CS6 after a certain date, then they turn around and decide that was not enough of a revenue generator that they needed to make it a continuous pay proposition.
My hope is that Corel, or one of the others, will decide to make a heavyweight editor. As is, Corel can use the CS plug-ins.
Suddenly the Steve Jobs approach to Adobe looks better and better. |

I don't interpret it that way. It seems to me that if you pay monthly, it will cut you off immediately after 30 days of being unable to phone home. If you pay annually, that time is lengthened to 99 days. |
Could be, but why would they care if you paid a year in advance to check in after 4 months into the contract? There's no way you could be out of compliance, right?
I also don't understand why some are concerned about the 3rd party plug-ins having to have multiple products. If the app behaves the same way as a perpetual license app in that it is installed on your computer, what would the plug-in folks have to do differently to support CC? |

The problem is that Adobe changes the interfaces that the plugins have to use with alarming regularity. Plugins that worked with CS2 don't work with CS3, etc. The plugin developers typically support whatever the latest version is. So eventually, CC will change the interface, the plugin developers will likely change their plugins, then the plugins won't work anymore with CS6. |

Take a look at the hundreds of graphics apps in the App Store, most you'll pay there is $14.99, and you get to own it.
At some stage Adobe needed to make a decision; go with the cheap-volume-sales model of the App Store and target hobbyists, or go with premium-subscription-model and target enterprise.
They've obviously gone with the latter. Also, subscription offers continuous revenue stream versus once-off revenue from the App Store model.

| Apologies if I missed this, but did someone say that Adobe would release an update to CS6? Because there are new features being shown in CC and I wonder if they would be available as a last upgrade for CS6? Link here |

They'll release an update to CS6 after about 18 months of the Creative Cloud failing. It will come with a lot of hoopla that Adobe, in an ever increasing search for synergy, has announced it will support both permanent licensing options AND the creative cloud. Then 12 months after that they will quietly announce the death of the Creative Cloud.
That's the way I see (hope) it going down anyway... |

That makes a lot of sense. From the bigger business perspective and those who want every application there, that's a great way to go. For the individual and individual application permanent is best.

That's because you are assuming that people actually PAY the whole year in advance. The way I understand it, that is not what Adobe is talking about. I believe they mean having a CONTRACT for one year (which you still pay monthly for). |

That was too funny - it just about did my head in.
I speak German, and my brain was having a hellish time listening to the audio and reading totally unrelated "translations" at the same time! LOL |

| Well you could always switch to ACDSee Pro. I've used it for about 5 years and whilst I'll admit the earlier versions had a few bugs, the Pro 4 I'm currently using (and presumably later versions) seems to be bug free and does everthing most folks would ever be likely to want. Worth a download of the free trial. :) |

Been thinking about it. At $20/30 (rounded off) I really do not think Photoshop CC is that much of an issue for most. It is one decent steak here in Korea and the Internet is superb... If I need it, depending what it offers, I will get it. This is, unfortunately, the way the world is going. |

Adobe down about 3% today (so far). Though the articles I've seen paint it as a boon to both customers and Adobe (mainly because they're comparing the price of the software if you bought it new today versus a subscription), investors aren't buying into it.

May be a good stock buying opportunity if it keeps going down, then Adobe smartens up about CC later.
ETA... scratch that. I've sworn off software companies.
