Hey “gray beard” thanks for the humor with my morning coffee. Some people just take themselves too seriously.

It is the “obvious” model, BUT what seems not so obvious is that the consumer still holds the ultimate power because it is their hard earned dollars that are needed to monetize their websites. Am I missing something in my position? I use version 6 and have no intention of turning my credit card over to Adobe along with reuse privileges to do as they see fit.

Like many consumer rights, we can and always will be able to vote our opinions with how, where, and when we spend! Say no by not participating. If enough people agree I am sure that Adobe’s need for revenue will force a change in policy. If enough people vote approval by buying a subscription, the need for revenue growth will make $25 pm into $29 pm then $34.95 pm like death and taxes, it is inevitable my friends.

Boys and girls, live and let live! A photograph is like a good scotch, bourbon, wine or cigar. It's all in the eye or taste of the individual isn't it? I see many "overprocessed" pictures posted here but I don't have to like them but I do enjoy looking at other people's taste.
I am old enough to remember when it was rare to have air conditioning in a car now it is rare to see one without!

Definitely a killdeer protecting a nest which is always on the ground.

It's just a big fat ugly Carp!

Sounds like the Brown Trucks are doing a helluva business! Mine arrived last week. Still reading the manual and practicing.
