Lightroom alone is incomplete, you'll still need a pixel editor for finishing work. Get both for $10/mo.

I prefer to download directly from Adobe. Then they have a record, and you can go back and download at any time.

If someone buys LR 5 today, and LR 6 comes out tomorrow, I wonder if Adobe would be generous enough to allow a free upgrade.

One would hope so.

I would hope not - the sooner they divest themselves of their perpetual license software, the sooner 30% of the arguments/discussions on UHH will become completely baseless. :)

I agree, but you know that just won't happen - a sale is a sale ;)

The entire reason why they went to a subscription model is that they would save considerable $$$ by not having to sell and support boxed software. By offering CC, they managed to save $$, provide a cheaper alternative to buying the box, and have accelerated their development cycle. It's only a matter of time before they still selling and supporting "the box." I give it less than two years.

I am on board with CC, I like that business model myself. I would love it if more big names in software jumped on the same business model band wagon ;)

I was resistant at first, when PS was $30/mo - but with all the crap the user community slung their way, Adobe figured the sweet spot at the current $10/mo, which removed my objection. Two years later and I couldn't be happier.
Back in the day when I had an IT business, part of what I did was to develop custom software for my bigger clients. You bet that there was a development charge, a support charge and an ongoing maintenance "annual subscription" charge. And that was back in the 80s and 90s. My license was also for a given number of users, as was the support contract. This is idea is nothing new. What IS new is the enduser that has never had do deal with the ongoing cost of using software, and the mistaken idea that by buying software in a box they somehow "own" something tangible. True, they own the media the software was delivered on, and the instruction manual (if included) and the box it came in, but the software is an intellectual property that is totally "owned" by the publisher. The user owns nothing of value, other than a license to use it until it stops working for them.

Yep, so many think they buy the software at Staples and they OWN it forever. It is theirs to do with as they please....
BUT it is just a different rental agreement ;)
