P: Ability to buy Photoshop as a perpetual license, instead of Creative Cloud

I understand from a very reliable source that CS6 and Lightroom 4 will be the last photoshop software that will be available to actually purchase and own. In other words...You will not be able to purchase the software either on a disc or download that is yours to use indefinitely once you purchase the product. It will only be available via the cloud and everyone will be required to pay monthly license fee to use the product. This will allow all upgrades as long as you pay the fee...but if you cease to pay the fee, the software will be deactivated. If this is the case...and I believe it is...THIS SUCKS!

I have been Adobe user since I purchase the CS2 Creative Suite and used lightroom since it's inception. I have not purchase every upgrade, but have done so when I felt the changes warranted an upgrade. If Adobe insists on this business model, I will probably use one of the other photo editing product available on the market. There are several that will do most everything Adobe's software provides. I do not want to change...but Adobe's changes will force me to do so. I will purchase and use software...I WILL NOT "RENT" software which is what Adobe is proposing.

    Could you bring back owned applications, to an affordable price, thanks, that'd be all!

    Perhaps you could get yourself together, admit the CC was Adobe's biggest mistake in the near future, and go back to owned applications, or at least, make such option available, to an affordable price for the average home users too!

    Bring back owned software to a reasonable price, for the home users. Do you think, that every user of Adobe's software, is a Hollywood production, which can afford to pay such sky high fees?

    What about the home users? Why are they charged like a Hollywood production? It makes no sense logically, neither economically?

    If Adobe attempted to create a hateful opinion on itself, and be extremely negligent to it's home users, i applaud you, mission accomplished, mission successful, we all sure hate you now.

    On the other hand, if what you tried was to meet your home users as well as your business users, mission failed.

    Don't play so precious, it's software, get over it, people are willing to pay for it too, but not pay ALL their money. Adobe's attitude is like that of a spoiled child, who doesn't want to share anything, and guess what (nobody likes those kids, no matter what they've got)

      I sure wish that I could delete this comment. After I posted it, I learned how wrong I was. $10/mo is a fantastic deal for PS/LR.

      Hi Nina, Photoshop CS6 cost $699/$999 when it was available. But consider this: at that price you can have the Creative Cloud Photography Plan @ $9.99/mo for close to 6/8.5 years:

      https://creative.adobe.com/plans/offer/photoshop+lightroom

      The Creative Cloud Photography Plan includes Photoshop CC, Lightroom, Lightroom mobile, and get all the product updates/upgrades (e.g. Photoshop CC 2015, 2016, etc & Lightroom 2015, 2016, etc) for OS compatibility and support during that time. With the old model, you'd have to pay extra for upgrades, and support, in that same time period.

      One of the reasons for moving to this model is to make sure customers can keep up with the fast changing technology landscape where Apple and Microsoft are updating OSes every 12 months and introducing new hardware and devices at a faster and faster rate.

      Hope that helps

      The CC version of Photoshop AND Lightroom only costs me £8/month, not the $50 mentioned above. That is £2 per week, less than the cost of a pint of beer!! Most students drink far more than I pint a week IME, so having one pint less pays for PS and LR. Can't be bad!

      PS I still have my non-CC copies of PS 6 and LR 5 if Adobe goes bust.
