Fernando Blanco From Electric Avenue said - "In a recent announcement, Adobe Software has declared its intention to change the business model for users of its industry-standard image editing software, Photoshop. The next version is going to go to a subscription-only model, removing the threat of piracy, by removing the ability to purchase a stand-alone version of the software..."
It was heard that a comprehensive law enforcement action targeted scene release group “SPARKS” and its associates earlier this month.
Adobe has released an update to clean up the mess that was the profiling system in Lightroom. No longer hidden in the settings menus, the new Lightroom Classic CC and Adobe Camera Raw now show these settings up in the top edit panel.
A company that sold Kodi-based software which accessed infringing TV, movie and sports streams has lost an interesting case featuring Dutch anti-piracy group BREIN. MovieStreamer claimed that it only provided a referral service to third-party content through a series of links but the court found that despite the convoluted process, it still communicated copyrighted works to the public.
I hate this move...
Oh well...looks like I'll be sticking to my current version for quite some time.
has anyone tried this out yet, how does it compare to the previous versions as far as efficiency and the like?
My boss at my company has tried this and he said the worst part about it is trying to get out once you subscribe. It's a pain in the neck process to cancel the subscription...
$600 per year...yeh...good luck with that. I am sure there are some that would have been willing to pay $600 and use the software 2 to 3 years but this is just stupid. So does this put a bullet in educational copies or will they have a special monthly rate for that?
If you're a serious Adobe Suite user, this is a great deal. But for casual users I can see this being a nail in the coffin.
if you are a serious adobe suite user you would be able to do all the stuff in the new versions on your old versiosn and save the thousands of dollars over 4 years for a vacation or gaming pc or something actually worthwile. same with the people who actually buy every version of windows when it first comes out. i only get new version of windows if i buy a new computer or laptop because its preinstalled os.
They didn't just shoot themselves in the foot, they blew off their entire leg at the knee!
I was considering saving up for picking up Photoshop and After Effects, but no longer. Instead, I'll either find a competitor (does Corel make an After Effects-like program?) or just go with CS4 versions or something.
I own CS4, 5 and 6 of photoshop and lightroom and they do more than everything I need so I can't honestly see myself ever upgrading again. I didn't even need 6 but bought it anyway because I knew Adobe was heading in this direction. No thanks.
