Adobe must be hurting for money

With regards to upgrades, we are changing our policy for perpetual license customers. In order to qualify for upgrade pricing when CS6 releases, customers will need to be on the latest version of our software (either CS5 or CS5.5 editions).

I fell behind with Photoshop updates and was sad to see that it would cost me a LOT to catch up. As an individual who uses Photoshop only occasionally to actually earn money, I have to be careful as to how much I spend on updates. Adobe has missed out on some revenue from folks like me. The software is great but their consumer base is multi-tiered. I would never go for Creative Suite, as it is more than I could ever use. Yeah, I know, use "Essentials" but that is not an answer for a serious amateur photograher who also, once in a while, does something at the professional level. I probably will never buy into cloud software for something like Photoshop. For other apps, maybe. I don't see the relationship of the title to the facts presented. Actually, it is one of his better posts. |

Actually, it is one of his better posts. He's telling us that Adobe is changing its upgrade policy, and giving advance notice, together with some upgrade discount. that's good. What's not good is the concessionary title. The title is based upon a totally unfounded statement. -- Peter |

Rich uses the same "sensational/inflammatory/alarmist/shame-on-you" techniques used by many modern journalists. Maybe he is one? He certainly knows how to create subject lines that suck the rest of us in. If nothing else, he is a sly and crafty troll. |
