Many of us stuck in the mud CS6 users are counting the money we have saved by not paying a subscription for features that any accomplished photoshop user should be able to easily replicate on CS6.

The claim that they are "up to 40% lighter than other polymer cases" is a bit ambiguous. There are some quite heavy non-peli polymer cases out there.

Non obsolescence of lenses has always been at the heart of Nikon philosophy. In fact, more of their cameras support older lenses now than they did ten years ago.

Adobe were hacked in the past and had information stolen. I was one of the customers who received a letter meaning that I had to change my credit cards because it was likely the information had...

More worried about future support for Photoshop CS6 than raw conversion. There are many options available for raw conversion.

On the bright side, Microsoft have listed every version of Photoshop...

Many people here pointed out that DNG is a good workaround. I think they are right. The problem is how long Adobe will keep producing their DNG converter?
I have no confidence in the future of DNG.

about £90 was the cost of my last upgrade from 5.5 in the UK

Re monthly rent: you used to, but probably not now. All part of the *I'm altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further* from the dark side of the software industry.

Fingers crossed here that Quark will start offering a crossgrade deal, like Adobe did with Indesign to Quark users.

Affinity looks like the way to go. I like their apps, and with any shortcomings they may have I am prepared to find a workaround if it means breaking free of Adobe.

The problem with any program that requires any form of internet validation is that *they* can turn you off at any time for any reason, or no reason at all. Once it happens to you, you never really...

Perhaps we should have some "I am Adobe Free" stickers with smiley faces on them printed up?

I think the long term plan is for the application to be totally cloud base, thus ending the option to pirate it once and for all.

Many people are very angry at this, and we have the usual pro and anti cc arguments going on. I feel sad that Adobe have gone this way. For people like me who use several CS6 applications it is...

Even if Serif did chuck it in in a couple of years time I would still have saved several hundred pounds and could go back to Adobe CC who will welcome me with open arms, probably with a new...

I don’t think there is anything bad about a second party testing software before they approve it for use on their operating system, and selling through the app store does save all that registration...

Actually there are several examples of people abandoning the market leader for something better. SyQuest were the standard large capacity disks at one time, now just a memory. Quark was once the...

I was so impressed with the new Affinity apps I bought a Mac. Besides the cost being no more (in the long term at least) than just the Adobe software on its own. I am not sure where Windows is...

I am not sure where this information about Freehand comes from. I used it professionally for years as did many others even though it was more expensive than illustrator. Many people have lobbied...

The logic may be that many graphic programs have started on the Mac and then ported to PC. I am not sure if it has ever happened successfully the other way round. Corel tried but have since seemed...
