Afternoon, I see on the Adobe website that they are offering under the Photography section of Photo Cloud a monthly membership/cost of £8.78. You get access to Photoshop CC & LR5........after a year reverts back to "standard rate" what ever that will be. Do you think is worth doing? https://creative.adobe.com/plans/offer/photoshop+lightroom

Thanks Andy. Good price but then it goes back to £19.90 a month. But as I have said before I dont do subscription software especially one as important as Photoshop. I'll stick with Photoshop CS6. That said I dont know what happens when they stop providing ACR updates for CS6. I guess I will revert to using Capture One Pro for everything and then edit the final output.

Just FYI, in USA the deal is $9.99 / month - REGULAR price. Wonder if that offer is an older one?

I don't use enough of the features to require an update from CS2. Only use some of the basic things like Curves and sharpen and some retouching on occasion. It also runs some drivers for the Canon IPF6100 printer that work well and I hate to fix what's not broken.

Glad you are back in and posting amazing50. These PC breakdowns are a nuisance.

Only back on my small laptop. Going to install Win7 on a fresh HD and try again.

JK - I think, sooner or later, you'll get left behind. I wouldn't be surprised if LR6 becomes subscription only and what will you do then, when Nikon release that next camera. Stop shooting Raw, DNG Converter, Stick with the cameras you've got? After much thought I've signed up. I was very p!$$ed initially as they were charging ~$20/month for PS/LR with an offer of $9.99 for owners of PSCS3 or later As an owner of PSCS2 and Creative Suite 3 Design Standard I was not eligible I ended up finding a PSCS5 upgrade for PSCS2 which made me eligible Then, just a few months later the deal was made available for everyone. Who knows what the deal will be in the future, but this is the way everything is going I'm afraid Office, Spotify, Xero, Lightspeed and many others are subscription only to begin with or have recently switched

I have other RAW processor softwares such as LightZone, IridientDeveloper, CaptureOne, and other smaller softwares to use. I dont want to pay a monthly fee. Quite honestly I dont need Adobe they only provide a 'software of convenience'. I have a legal license for Adobe CS6 and Lightroom 5 but I dont intend to upgrade them to CC, this can only be seen as a revenue loss. In the last ten years I have contacted Adobe and posted on their and other forums that ACR should be unbundles from Photoshop and latterly also Lightroom. If ACR was a charged software it could be sold as 'spot 'upgrades for individual cameras or with a need to upgrade continuously (I prefer the former over the latter). If a large organisation does not listen to its customers it will wither and die. Adobe has a huge money pot from corporate sales so Yes it can survive for many years but if it doesnt listen then slowly it will wither and eventually it will become a Corel. We know very well what Corel does to software that it purchases. I am confident that if Adobe ceased to exist tomorrow that I would not significantly miss their departure as I can find ways to work with CS6 and LR5.3 and other software so that my images can still be managed and printed for the rest of my lifetime. The new workflow will be a little more complex but the quality will be unchanged and the cost will be minimal.

There are too many treadmills that the modern world feels you have to be on. It's simply not true. As Graham showed, a film camera can still match a D800. Or vice versa, depending on which point you want to make. It's the same with mobile phones. Why do I want 900 minutes, 1000 texts a month for £20? I don't know that many people to contact...or want to. And when I do send a txt, it's invariable verbose and lacking the modern text speak abbreviations.....so it ends up as an MMS at extra charge! Sorry having a rant. I just don't believe we have to keep changing buses at every stop. Sometimes it's nice to sit and smell the roses.  My underlying objection to all this upgrading is it does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to improve you photography...which is what I feel it's all about. Don't get me started on the Sottish referendum   >:(
