Has Adobe Lost Its Mind?
- satyajit 18y agoNope .. they haven't! Yea, they are expensive, but they are way more capable than Corel Paint Shop Pro or GIMP. For a design professional, there is hardly another choice. And if you are not (a design pro), then you can always buy Photoshop Elements. A great hobbyist product. Photoshop CS4 sells for < $700 as opposed to $1000 the author seems to be claiming.
- gaius 18y agoPeople rarely buy Adobe's professional products, businesses do. Compared to GIMP, for a professional photographer, Photoshop will pay for itself pretty quickly.
- Tamerlin 18y agoThe author clearly hasn't the slightest connection to the real world; probably a permanent academic. I know quite a few individuals who purchase copies of the entire Creative Suite, and use it for freelance work; for most of them, a single gig is more than enough to pay for the upgrade price. For working professionals, it's entirely worth it. Adobe isn't interested in marketing the suite to complainer, Adobe is interested in selling the suite to people who are using it to do what they wrote for.
