Anyone use Photoshop elements
 

since adobe is not updating photoshop anymore unless you buy their cloud stuff, anyone use elements 14? is it similar to photoshop?

I use their cloud stuff. It's worth every penny when you make a living as a webmaster.

I have photoshop CS6, but there wont be a cs7, I really hate having to buy a subscription to everything anymore.

Agreed, man up and use manly software like a man bitch! :pimp

One issue I had was that the raw converter was crippled (had fewer controls than ACR in full Photoshop). This was a while ago, so I'm not sure if its still the case or not.

Photoshop is $10 per month or the whole creative suite is $49 per month.

At those prices why would you bother with a half baked solution ?

Yet those fuckers decided to charge me $20/month just because I live in a different country. Greedy fuckers.

They'll always charge what the market will bear in any market, we had a Government Inquiry into software pricing in Australia which led to Adobe dropping the price to equal that of the USA.

This. $40 a month for two licenses and unlimited use/updates. It's a no brainer.

Problem is, at least for me, EVERYTHING is a monthly fee now. If you add it all up, you have to make a killing just to pay for it all. This includes
health care,
mortgage,
energy,
insurance for just about everything including your fart not ripping your pants,
ANY type of software,
music,
movies,
HDD diskspace,
hosting,
etc etc.


Cost of living seems to be going up and up, might be my age, but still. I fully understand people giving up and live in the gutter sometimes. Its insane.

It's decent, unless you're a serious retoucher.

Sounds like normal life to me.

Not to me, usually, you just buy things and you're done.
Not anymore though.

You can get CS2 for free if you really need it, their activation server broke:

What feature or aspect of Elements14 makes it better or more productive than say, Elements5?

I bought cs6 and sticking with that for a long time. You might be able to buy Photoshop used?, not sure if the license allows. Even when I was making 7 figures a year I tried to cut every cent in cost...

That's why you made 7 figures. You'll never make that by wasting money ;-)
