The price of Photoshop standalone is too high, and the pricing structure for the suites is too complicated.

I am using a great plug in system that works with & expands Elements. Great control, good pricing.
I don't want to break the terms of agreement set by Adobe, so I don't know if it's ok to post the name of the software here.
If an Adobe mod weighs in, I'll know.

>>And you are sure a Photoshop license can help it? :D

Yes, I wrote, "my wife, she's unsatisfied" because it was like a funny way of putting it, sort of like the way someone who doesn't speak good English would put it, all the while being unaware that they're inferring rather strong (and embarrassing) sexual connotations.

After I posted it, I said to my wife, "Now watch, someone's going to see the opportunity for a cheap joke, and they won't be able to help it."

My wife said, "How much you wanna bet that it's a GUY who will take the bait first?"

And here you are. The predictable, dumb guy who took the bait. 😛

You rent the software instead of buying it, i. e. you can use it as long as you pay a monthly fee.

Dear photoshop,

My wife, she's unsatisfied. I got her Photoshop Elements, but it's,
of course, not enough to express her incredible talents. :)

Is there a Middle Path, because a whole 800-1000 dollars is kind
of an issue. Don't you guys have a thing where you can get it in
pieces, or maybe a Photoshop Elements ++ option?

I'd settle for pretty much anything, just don't... make... me...
homeless. LOL.

Can I purchase Photoshop Super (or whatever) in monthly
chunks or something? PLEASE. My wife's hot. I'll do anything.

Adobe corporate officers & staff, for every person who has posted for fair pricing, there are dozens who do not yet own Photoshop & never will. One look at the price & they move along. How many current PS software customers see the price & never update, while not bothering to send you feed back. Take a lesson from Kodak, accept the market as it is, adapt, work with the consumer & survive.

How Come YOUR software is so HIGH, who has $700 just to edit pictures, how come you can't bring the price down..I think it is ridiculous to be so high, guess i will never be getting any of your products!!!

I was suprised to see this pop up again 4 months after my first post.
I'm still not going after a boot copy for myself, but I was suprised to see this pop up again after 4 months. Then I saw a thread on a model website.

Adobe staff, you might want to see this debate.
