And I'm not going to pay for it.Įven if you do want 'cloud' storage(it certainly has its uses), the trend of getting little tiny bits of it bundled under a zillion different credentials and EULAs and TOSes, from a bunch of different outfits that you are just trying to buy some other product from(and, excitingly, often hooked to specific applications, rather than some reasonably normal network file transfer mechanism) is totally fucked. It just too weird, in the miserable way not the quirky hip way, even if it's not quite as bad as it was several years ago. I also doubt that most casual image editors who are not already infatuated with Linux are going to take two glances at GIMP, especially if they've previously experienced Photoshop. Unfortunately it's pretty much a nonstarter for most of the people whose livelihoods depend on image editing, and there are few indications this will change anytime soon. I am glad there are people who like GIMP and I'm sure they will continue to use it. What they are not, however, is a professional graphic designer who sits being paid to use Photoshop for at least half his/her day every day of the week. In most cases it turns out that these are people who enjoy the Linux user experience, or who enjoy DOM manipulation via JavaScript, or have built the most epic thing ever out of. I know, every time someone points out that it's a train wreck, a couple people come out and say that they use GIMP all the time (usually meaning, a couple times a week) and are really happy with it. It has all the mass market appeal of a poo on a stick. This makes Microsoft look like really nice people - quite a feat!Įxcept that GIMP is a mess that makes creative types want to claw their own eyeballs out to escape. This is an opening for Adobe competitors.

If we don't pay, we have no software to use. And anytime Adobe needs a boost in income, they just raise the price. But for those of us who skip upgrades, it can double our cost. But if a new version is bad, you don't have the previous disks to downgrade.

$2879 - Cloud the Cloud looks OK if you already upgrade every year. Based on $699 initial price, and $199 upgrades, a 12-year cost is: But in the real world, skipping 1 or 2 upgrades save a lot of money.

Notice Adobe compares the cost of the cloud with full retail price. Their upgrade income is dictated by the addition of new features. With the Cloud model, you are forcing them to (re)pay full price every year.īINGO! It's my understanding that most Photoshop users surveyed a few years ago said they skip 1 or 2 upgrades. My guess is Adobe is targeting those legitimate customers who buy their software and use the same version, without paying for upgrades, for 4+ years. That's liable to make just as many people angry as happy, no?" Update: 05/08 03:29 GMT by S:Changed prices involved to reflect standard versions of Creative Suite, rather than the discounted Student & Teacher editions. However much customers stand to benefit from the cloud, it's easy to see that, over a long enough timeline, and with the right financial model in place, the companies providing those services stand to benefit even more than they did with boxed software. In a recent interview with Mashable, Adobe CEO Shantanu Narayen insisted that the Creative Cloud's cost to customers is lower, especially since they won't have to pay for cloud storage and other services - never mind that 20GB doesn't carry anyone far when it comes to visual design. At that price, it would take a little over two years for a customer spending $49.99 per month to exceed the full retail cost of box-based Adobe Creative Suite 6, which currently retails for $1299.99 at Staples and $1100-1200 on Amazon. Those who opt for the 'complete' version will pay $49.99 per month for every Creative Cloud app, 20GB of cloud storage, and full access to services it also requires an annual commitment.

Creative Cloud will cost $19.99 per month for a 'single app' version that features the full version of 'selected apps,' 20GB of cloud storage, and limited access to services. The move isn't surprising, considering the tech industry's general movement toward the cloud over the past few years.

Nerval's Lobster writes "As we discussed yesterday, Adobe plans on focusing the bulk of its software-development efforts on its Creative Cloud offering, with no plans to further update its 'boxed' Creative Suite products.
