ctrl+alt+z thing was weird when even among other adobe programs, it wasn't actually used.
Because I bet the old CTRL Z behavior came first. And in testing people complained it didn't work the way they expected so it just stayed.
I mean that's basically what they want, it's like drugs, they want to create a dependency for you on their software so they can milk you forever.
This is a massive quality of life update. The double click to edit text will make such a difference alone, the way it worked previously was a massive pain in the arse.
They're also changes that feel like they should have been done a long time ago, though.
Adobe has been allowed a de facto monopoly and right now at least in some fields some programs have caught up overtaken them (krita for anything drawing/coloring related comes to mind).
A lot of the monopoly comes from users though. Many people will always use photoshop because they know how it works already so they don't need to learn something new and can get results quick.
Why would they sell you a lifetime license for the cost of 5 months' subscription?
Photoshop Elements sold for $100 back in the day, right?
Or did they water Elements down even more so it isn't even a real Photoshop version anymore?
Yeah, but new generations don't have this issue, so they offer it cheap to students so they can create a dependency on those students.
Elements was an extremely watered down version of Photoshop. Its like 20% of the program Photoshop proper is.
Proper versions of Photoshop licences used to sell for like $700 with the entire suite coming up around $1500. You could spend a few hundred to upgrade if you had an existing licence for an older version but frankly getting it at $10 a month you'd have to be subscribed for almost 6 years before you'd start paying more for the subscription than a flat out licence. Not including that they regularly provide updates to their product without needing to fork over for a new version.
Some guy on reddit sells CS6 keys for $80, I guess that's the next best thing.
You know what sucks? Their plans. I wanna just get additional illustrator and premiere pro, but apparently adding individual apps cost more than getting the full package.
I don't even need 80% of the other apps.
There are still a lot of things that I find JASC Paint Shop Pro 8, from 2003, to do more easily than modern Photoshop.
I'm not sure how to feel about that.
Yeah, it's a pretty horrible set-up, and I think they're fully aware of it. As far as I know, you can still buy Premiere CS6 standalone by calling them.
Because the competition does this too? Affinity sells their competition products Designer and Photo as a lifetime license for just 54 dollar each.
Photoshop just swapped the hotkey actually, Im fairly sure that it worked like any other up until CC came out.
The "old" Ctrl+Z is still there and its the first thing I swap back when I reinstall Photoshop.

Honestly, the main reason I'm using Adobe right now is just because of how good and supported it is. It feels like a self fulfilling prophecy. I actually have a lifetime key for an older version of Vegas, but I just cannot for the life of me get along with it and it's much harder to learn than Premiere Pro. As a result people use Premiere Pro, which leads to Pro being more supported and it goes on and on...
Adobe programs just work very well with one another. Learning how to use audition just to tweak/heal audio saves a lot of time to do anything with it, as it's just on the context menu of every audio track for premiere.
But while there are very few other video editing software that are more stable than what adobe produce, very few have the ecosystem that ties everything together
i started with photoshop 7 and learning ctrl+alt+z was one of the first things I had to do, it's going to be hard unlearning habits like that and not using shift for proportional scaling. I'll probably have to reset the shortcuts for my own sake.
Logs state they offer the legacy controls. It should not be so hard to revert back to it.
I probably prefer it too, given the flipbook being useful sometimes
i clicked the tab with the update blogpost and 500 audio clips started playing at once ant wtf
Yeah neat and all but have they fixed AVI support in premiere on MAC yet? Because let me fucking tell you just how annoying it is to have to fight with this shitty ass ghetto transcoding server we have so the literally only 2 people in the entire fucking station who edit on macs (because they're fucking worthless and too stupid to learn to use Windows) just so they can go from AVI, which every fucking commercial, spot, etc we film in house and sometimes even get from NBC, etc, comes in, to a format that Premiere on OSX supports.
I had to set up additional shit just for them, because they're personally too stupid to remember to delete files after they no longer need them, too dumb to move files to a watch list folder for the transcoding program and see that they come out in a different folder when done. They're too fucking dumb to even use Adobe's transcoding program.
I had to make fucking stapled packets of step by step instructions with pictures for these people, even with everything mostly automated. All because Adobe and Apple can't play nice on AVI support.
