Creative Cloud; Adobe owns me now

[Auggie]

2. Unlike many, I can add the expense to my client invoices ...

just like I did when I paid to own the software outright. I'll keep my version of CS4 on the hard drive as back-up until it's rendered totally obsolete.

It's a real opportunity for other companies to step up. Adobe did an efficient job of just about killing QuarkXPress, which I think is more intuitive than InDesign and always loved. I had to change because my industry preferred the pricing of Creative Suite when it was introduced years ago.

Now they're trying to kill ownership because they think they can make more money via subscription. Must keep the shareholders happy, you know.

My wife is using GIMP for photo editing/retouching on her PC. I think it's a free download.
