I tried to get LR 6.14 recently. It seems to have been discontinued in February, and is no longer available.Agree it's not "evil", it's a business decision as any other and you can choose to remain or leave after this 100% price hike (which gives a minor functionality upgrade).
For me the main reason to not step in the program in the first place is the "end play" when you stop your CC subscription.
If Adobe would allow you to continue using the Lightroom develop module but stopped the import functionality I'd probably get in the CC program. But the current "end play" disabling the develop module I find unattractive, so for the time being LR 6.14 will do.
I agree wholeheartedly with youI really can't see this as "Evil". Adobe provides me with an excellent product that I choose to use in my professional business much the same as C1-Pro. I've made a heck of a lot more money than what I've been charged. Same as with my past and present camera systems. I don't give my work away for free and I don't expect my suppliers to either.
Maybe you can find a second-hand licence somewhere if you really want one.I tried to get LR 6.14 recently. It seems to have been discontinued in February, and is no longer available.
I agree with Don Libby ... Adobe is just a software provider trying to make a buck. They make their business and pricing decisions, I decide whether they're worth it for my use. Calling them Evil is a bit of heavy handed silliness, an emotional response to something that should be evaluated objectively for costs and benefits..Maybe you can find a second-hand licence somewhere if you really want one.
I can also understand why they stopped selling it, first because the maps module in 6.14 doesn't work anymore from mid 2018 that and selling partly disfunctional products doesn't look too good for a company. So I was really surprised it stayed still for sale so long. Secondly, they're trying to move everybody to the subscription model, so selling older/perpetual license versions is not in their interest.
Exactly. Do a rational cost/benefit analysis and make a decision. By the way, Capture One 12 is $299 or $20/month, unless you opt for the Fuji or Sony limited versions, which are on sale now for $109 or $8/month (for 12 months). Among the non-subscription software, Affinity Photo is $49, Luminar is $70, and DxO PhotoLab is $129. Something for everybody. I have a lot of time invested in learning LR/PS, so while I would prefer not to pay a higher monthly rate, I also would prefer not to have to learn new software programs. Part of the decision making process involves valuing your time.Calling them Evil is a bit of heavy handed silliness, an emotional response to something that should be evaluated objectively for costs and benefits.
Because it's easy on the internet to do that. Oh, perhaps that's "evil" internet.Why is it that we always have people that berate and belittle companies yet never follow through with their posts?
They haven't although pricing used to be lower. Perhaps that is what people try to point out.
