So I'm sure most have heard this and received e-mail about it.
"Introducing a special Adobe Creative Cloud plan designed exclusively for photographers. Get the latest versions of Adobe Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5, plus 20GB of cloud storage, Behance ProSite for your own fully customizable professional portfolio, ongoing feature updates*, and more — all for US$9.99/month for as long as you continue your membership†. Valid for Photoshop CS3 and later customers."
From what I've heard Abode is doing this not to help out Photographers, but because they need to boost the users for CC.
So okay, this is a great price but they just released Lr V5, I paid $75 in June and so this would cost me the full $75 for 3 months of use! I called Adobe Customer support, I asked if since they didn't offer this at the release of V5 would they offer some credit or discount? I was told no!
Understandably this is a great deal if you didn't upgrade yet, but from the side of someone who is a loyal customer and updates right away it's a rip-off! They could have used this opportunity in June to make me move to the cloud, that $75 dollars would have bought me Lr & Ps for 7.5 months!
Just really piss pour marketing! IMO:twisted:
