Digital BW, The Print

Just based upon inflation alone, it seems unlikely the Adobe would have a permanent fixed $10 per month price for Photoshop CC. The question is how much the monthly fee might increase. Adobe has made no reference to inflation adjustments so it seems that after one year they have the right to increase the monthly fee without limit which means no cost protection for the photographer after the first year.

Paul..
 
You can have up to 2 computers MAX..Doesn’t need to be the SAME OS..ie..You can have this on your desktop on windows, and on your MAC as well.. computers MAX..
 
What troubles me, is that all the ADOBE hoopla says the price will never go up if you sign up by 12/31….IF you read the fine print of their agreement, they may unilaterally increase the price after the first year as long as they notify you in advance., giving you a chance to cancel if you would like to  ...I read the terms 3 times, and that’s the essence of it..I don’t think any one of us would be happy at all if they went ahead and did just that..ADOBE is sort of speaking out of “both sides� of it’s mouth on this issue of the “$9.99�  being a “forever cost� for the consumer..I was ready to jump on this deal, until I read the “fine print�….I’m still thinking about it..

I've used Genuine Fractals (now Perfect Resize) for some time. I still believe it's the best. CC is supposed to have Adobe's version of smart re-sizing. I'm not sure if CS6 has it. This could be important to me. Whenever the geometry of a file is affected; sharpness is decreased. Whether the image was increased in size in a smart fashion first affects the final sharpness.

Is there a way to avoid every camera raw converter lens setting being downloaded? That is, is it sensitive to what we actually use as opposed to dumping everything into our computers -- including our laptops?
