I like this, After Effects costs way too damn much. Actually all Adobe products cost way too damn much.
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;35682369]Yeah, it has Photoshop Extended instead.[/QUOTE] I can't believe it took this long for this reply to happen.
Do they offer student pricing on the subscriptions?
The glorious thing with the subscription is that it doesn't really cost more than subscribing to a magazine or two. So even though it will accumulate to a big prize it will take years to do so and you will always have the latest version of every Adobe program ever. It's probably cheaper to buy a package and upgrade when newer versions comes out, in the long run, but I don't really think it's so much cheaper that it's actually worth thinking about unless you normally have access to that kind of money.

"Adobe will also offer a student and teacher edition of Creative Cloud for $29.99/month. Current CS3, CS4 and CS5.5 users will qualify for a special introductory offer of $29.99/month. In the coming months, Adobe will also launch a version of Creative Cloud for teams, though the price for this one hasn’t been determined yet."

Paying 20 euros (which is what 30 bucks roughly is) a month for the entire CS6 suite + cloud storage is REALLY tempting.
hahhahahaha lol at people praising adobe as a whole for their creative suite(which is about the only "good" thing they do) please don't group all of adobe as if it's one entity adobe still runs flash, and flash is fucking awful in every way(and especially adobe's management of how it is available on their website)
[QUOTE=Sir Whoopsalot;35682458]How many magazines cost 50 bucks a month to subscribe?[/QUOTE] Two can.
implying i cant just torrent it. [highlight](User was banned for this post ("Warez" - Craptasket))[/highlight]
Would it be possible to just buy CS6 without the cloud service and make no additional payments? I don't like the idea of monthly payment at all.

[QUOTE=Coffee;35682007]It encourages piracy so you end up with everyone knowing how to use Adobe's software, that way when a business has to buy software for it's workers and the business asks the workers what they can use, the workers say Photoshop and Adobe make money.[/QUOTE] It doesn't encourage spreading. If it was cheaper, people would simply buy it if they'd want it. The pricetag doesn't make people think "hey, I need Photoshop", it's the features. The pricetag is that high because the industry pays for it. It's like buying professional tools. The saw you get at Hornbach and the other building materials markets may be pretty ok, but once you want to do more and professional stuff, you go to professional markets and prices there are usually doubled. And quality trippled.

[QUOTE=dgg;35682783]Uh, yeah. Notice those packages that are on the list that have always existed and continues to exist?[/QUOTE] Yeah, being a little ignorant. It's what I get for staying up at 3 in the morning.

There is no such thing as Photoshop being made for your mother and your dog to use. It's made for professional industries. It's not even expensive. A normal person can easily buy the Master Collection with the right priorities. People manage to spend more money on buying a computer they change out within 3 years.
Built-in 3D Tracking. Yesssss...
[QUOTE=usaokay;35682599]I'll stick with my $5 Photoshop CS2 that I bought from a relatively clean black market mall in Cambodia. [b]Edit:[/b] I'm serious. I spent the last six years using that program. I'm not going to pay $700 for a program. God damn.[/QUOTE] You got ripped off for it, just saying.
People, stop whining about the pricing. People, do infact, pay for photoshop. Those people are industry professionals who make their daily living from Graphic Design and Illustration, aka, the INTENDED demographic for the CS family of programs.
Now only if they can offer nerfed prices for individual software subscriptions. Don't want to pay $50 just for other stuff I ain't even going to use.
I'm pretty sure most people using Adobe software privately pirated it, I mean most of my class knew how to use Photoshop before I started going to this school and I really doubt they bought licenses.
[QUOTE=MIPS;35681370]I'll stick with Photoshop 3.0.5.[/QUOTE] Fuck dat noise! GIMP.
Why not just make some of their oldest versions of Photoshop/Illustrator/etc. free, or at least at a price that the average Joe can afford? Photoshop 7.0 is old as [i]FUCK[/i], but it still has more than enough features for the average Joe and design hobbyists. Dunno, could be a bad move from a business standpoint, but I think it's a decent idea to implement.
$50 for all of that a month? I'm sold.

[QUOTE=Eric95;35687625]Flash Player[/QUOTE] They didn't make it. Just took it over.
What the fuck I just bought CS5.5.
[QUOTE=ColossalSoft;35687969]What the fuck I just bought CS5.5.[/QUOTE] It's their fault that you bought their 0.5 version upgrade one year after it was released, one year after CS5 was released?
[QUOTE=Derp Y. Mail;35682807]Built-in 3D Tracking. Yesssss...[/QUOTE] Wait, in After Effects? I am now really excited for CS6.
I get Adobe for free, from my school.
$49 a month for all of that is actually a pretty good deal, even certain MMO games will charge something around that price monthly just to play them.
