Let's say for a moment that Adobe did do something as described above.
Can't we export images as TIFF files (or DNG) and continue as before in some
older version from Adobe or in some 3rd party application?  Most of us have
the original images that came from the scan or from a DSLR.  An exported
TIFF file would have the processing work "baked in" and TIFF files are
standard in the industry.

 

Pay by subscription is the future in software.  The environment grows more
and more complex requiring constant patches to remain compatible with the
ever changing world.  (For example, mobility, Cloud based apps, tablets
replacing PC's, Create a book in an hour.)  The old model of upgrades every
18 months is not a match for the new world.
