I run a fully licensed version of CS3 which is enough for me. I do very little work in PS so ymmv.Thanks for clarifying what happens if/when one leaves their subscription. I am keeping my subscription because PS is irreplaceable and Adobe link the two programs together - I can't see a lot of difference between LR and C1 as a DAM for a few thousand shots. however, because I can't see any difference - doesn't mean there isn't one.I'd like to hear from anyone who can show me why LR is a better DAM choice I used to think so - I no longer do - but I could be missing stuff.
Why I think Lightroom is a better DAM is based on two things:
1: I've had several bugs in finding back photos in C1. Dates/labels missing, keywords not found.... etc. etc. This experience comes from version 9, maybe newer versions are better but I haven't tried again. Too much frustration and hair-pulling.
2: All the tools in Lightroom like collections, smart collections, flagging are all not available or much more rudimentary in C1, and keywording/labelling I find a lot more user friendly in Lightroom.
Like always this is very personal, but today I wouldn't want to be without Lightroom as a central repository of all my photo's
