Stu, if you're not being paid by Adobe for all the tireless work and effort you've been putting in over the past few days on their behalf as well as maligning their competitors (even if you don't actually use the software) at every opportunity, you should be! You must have clocked in over two days solid of work for them so far, so well deserve some form of compensation for all your herculean effort.ДЄnd it really is herculean.

So their plan to screw many of their existing users has been a while in the planning. There's no way they could sell their compulsory subscription-only model now at the same price as continually upgrading every generation every year if there was still an alternative option available for 50% or even less via skip-every-other-generation versions.

How many other companies can double the price of their software overnight to screw a large percentage of their exisitng users like Adobe just did and not create an uproar about it?Д«ecause it's only now we're seeing the real cause/result of their action on Jan 1. Many users skip a generation when upgrading so Adobe's move effectively doubled the price of upgrading overnight by forcing upgrades every generation. This subscription-only move now could never have happened if they hadn't done that first. It's Adobe's decison back on Jan 1 to restrict upgrades to the most recent version only which is what should have gotten everyone riled up.

Meanwhile MangalickВ responded to demands for Photoshop's new 'Camera Shake Reduction Tool' to be added to Lightroom: 'We're currently looking at ways of leveraging cutting-edge technology for all our customers - we're still trying to figure out how to get that into a Raw processing pipeline.' We're looking at cloud-based workflows.' These are the examples previewed on Scott Kelby's online show 'The Grid,' which could be offered 'incrementally to the Creative Cloud or outside the Creative Cloud.' Is Camera Shake Reduction coming to Lightroom? Hogarty stressed Lightroom was distinct from Creative Suite: 'We can confirm that Lightroom is still going to be a bit different - we don't plan on adding any Creative Cloud-specific features that you would only get if you were a subscriber to Creative Cloud.' Instead, he said, the team was 'investigating cloud-based offerings that are not specifically part of the Creative Cloud.

We have plans to make Lightroom available in its current form pretty much indefinitely.' And, while he wouldn't use the word 'forever,' he confirmed that he meant 'for the foreseeable future.' Hogarty tried to ease concerns about Lightroom's future: 'Basically we have no plans to make Lightroom subscription-only at any point in the future. Predictably, the first question at the hangout was about the future of Lightroom. What did Adobe say about Lightroom and CC subscription? Adobe Product Manager Tom Hogarty stressed that Adobe has, 'no plans to make Lightroom subscription-only at any point in the future.' The statement, made in light of the overwhelming response to Adobe's Creative Cloud announcement last week, was made during a Google+ Hangout today in which both Hogarty and Lightroom PM Sharad Mangalick responded to audience questions.
