I wonder how much it would have cost someone to buy every version since the first. Now there's a job for someone to work on today.

By the way, Amazon is offering a $25 discount off the CC subscription. That's like 2 1/2 months for free.

I really don't want to be tied into "leasing" software. I'd rather buy it outright and be done with it. I'll even stick with an older version to avoid a lease.
This is what makes me leary about Win 10, which we discussed a similar situation just a few days ago.
If I have to lease Win 10 after the first "free" year, I ain't buying it.

As with all businesses that progress the upper end of management has to find ways to keep milking the cow to
get more. Their logic I believe is that you pay for internet service by the month, your telephone by the month and your entertainment like Netflix by the month so why not Photoshop?
I am sure there are those on this forum who are not as well off as they would like to be and the people at Adobe want you to "buy" their product every year. Renting works for them not for those on fixed income. Pixelmator and and the new Affinity software will start to give them thought about their new direction they have taken. In the mean time I am with those who still have hard copy on CD-ROM. It works for me and I have been using Photoshop since it was .95 Beta.
