Whats the verdict on Adobe CC?

[Adamphotoman]

Capture One Pro started to offer subscription [also available for purchase] when version 8 was released September 16th. version 7 was released October 25 2012 almost 2 years later. I bought version 4 back in 2007. After new cameras are introduced Phase One provides free updates. It takes awhile and when a newer C1 version comes out they stop updating the older version forcing one to upgrade if and when one buys a new camera.

Much like Adobe.

Adobe is still updating Camera Raw for PS6 and CC

I have tried DXO & On one's Perfect Photo suite as well but I much prefer the way that Capture One develops files from raw.

Maybe my CD of CS2 will survive, but the machine will not.

One thing the IT guys told me is Adobe had a licensing server crash that had all of the CS2 info stored on it. So yes your CS2 can be reused as long as it will load on the computer. Adobe can not check the licenses at all.

I know about Adobe losing all our Adobe history of ownership.

That severely pissed me off.

On the other hand, anyone can now download CS2 for free. But it's no longer supported by Adobe and has been eclipsed by seven major updates (3, 4, 5, 6, CC, CC'14) so it's of limited usefulness.

For most of my work is with Lightroom but once in awhile I use PS CS3 for may scanned film work. That's why I don't want to rent. I rarely open PS any more not enough to pay $10 a month. If Adobe decides to subscribe lightroom then I will have to with to another program. Sad. But I don't earn a living in photography. I do more volunteering of my camera.

$10 a month or .30 a day MoL for a tool that is absolutely vital to how I make a living is frankly astonishingly cheap to me.

I do not make a living from this you do. It makes sense. It makes sense for me not to subscribe.

I am still using CS6 and it does the job for me. I have no need for Lightroom since I do all my image management in another program and use ACR id PS for conversion of RAW files.

Having said that, if Adoobie comes up with a truly compelling feature set above and beyond CS6, I will certainly consider the PS-CC. It would be nice if Adoobie would offer PS-CC alone, without LR, for a reasonable monthly or annual fee.

that will probably happen in time.
