Why is video there, for example. The drawing and painting tools are more afterthoughts, why not just have a separate art program for painters etc that don't use it for photos? They could go many directions that don't involve burning their own customer base.

Really, I was totally happy with AI CS2 and only changed because of Snow Leopard. Really, at this point, what more can they add except bug fixes that I'd need? And you're so right about local print shops not having the most recent versions of software such as AI or PS. What do they need it for?T'https://www.blogger.com/profile/07986564213736430022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414147859974935053.post-76433941733789336932013-05-21T04:59:55.062-04:002013-05-21T04:59:55.062-04:00I know people who love this idea, but they don'...I know people who love this idea, but they don't have to worry about being compatible so much with other people or the money part. there's still the fact that many upgrades go terribly wrong and then you are left in the street until Adobe fixes it, not able to work since the updates are all automatic. There is just a lot wrong in this plan… it's corporate money grab with no regard for what the clients actually need from the product.Behemoth mediahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06224320582603239565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-414147859974935053.post-51280566718800399392013-05-20T23:16:51.345-04:002013-05-20T23:16:51.345-04:00I totally agree.

I own my copies of PS and AI, one of the few people I know who actually bought them (besides you) and having seen their new plan, I have no intention of upgrading past the versions I have. Monthly fee? Sorry, I don't always have that money to spend. This is why I budget to buy the packaged versions of their software. I know there are people making a living STILL with PS3 (not CS3, but actual Photoshop 3) so I should be able to get by with CS5 for a long while. And when I finally do need to upgrade, I'm sure there will be someone else. Saying goodbye to Adobe will, in fact be sweet.T'https://www.blogger.com/profile/07986564213736430022noreply@blogger.com
