Ditto to KCH. I am not a commercial user of Adobe products but a photo enthusiast that has been using Photoshop since CS and have been on a long learning curve so am not looking at 'jumping ship' to learn a new product. I think Adobe’s arrogance to what consumers want compared to what suits them is appalling. Seeing that Australians pay some of the highest prices for software in the western world, the government has set up an enquiry and made sure that Adobe, Microsoft and Apple attended. One of the excuses they used was high transportation costs; I defy anyone to tell me how this applies to downloaded products! I am not totally against the idea of the Creative Cloud, just think consumers should have a choice between that and licensed software. I doubt if many users would download every Adobe product so I think a fairer solution would be to charge a reasonable price for individual programs. Also, Adobe have been promoting Creative Cloud for a long time now so you would think that they would have fully tested AAM before launching.
