Adobe Defense League in full swing.
NO, we have PAID for our Adobe products. We don't have to LEAVE, we have every RIGHT to DEMAND proper and decent products and service from our software supplier Adobe. Unfortunately they seem neither able nor willing to get their act together with LR.
No, you paid for this month, you get service this month. If you want more than Adobe provide tough, go buy On1, Capture One, Afinity etc etc.
Pissy little one man band photographers have never been a key market for Adobe and I see no reason for that to change. All they do is whine and bitch about what they are 'owed', meanwhile the true creative company market, the ones that actually pay decent license fees can't get enough of the Adobe love and constant upgrades.
If photographers were truly important to Adobe they would show it, but look at where the development goes, there are Suite upgrades nearly every week............
You do work for Adobe.
Or you have especially bad indigestion.
Happy holidays, pissy cat. :
;D Neither......
I believe I am pragmatic and live in a world where my opinion is worth zero to everybody apart from a small number of customers. I know I will never impact decisions made by multinational corporations so I am happy to purchase what they make if it suits my needs, and not give them anything if they don't. I am still shooting with 1DS MkIII's because, for my uses, I haven't been offered a compelling enough improvement/value option, yet I got the 11-24 on release because it did. Again, for my uses, Adobe CC Photographers Suite is good value and worthwhile, I understand if it isn't for others, but do look at the reality we live in when you don't like the choices you are offered. Adobe is and always has been primarily a business software supplier, that isn't changing.
That might make me sound like a Grinch on occasions, but I'd rather live in this reality than be a Mr Shouty who thinks if they shout the same thing enough times to people who have no say on the decision they will magically get what they say they want.
Still not sure why you feel it your duty to defend Adobe, but, whether you believe it or not, forums and social media have a part in allowing consumers to express opinions, raise concerns, and find others with similar difficulties when things are going wrong. One voice in one forum certainly doesn't get attention, but an aggregate of complaints leads companies paying attention to make corrections.
You really think companies, governments, politicians, celebrities live in a vacuum? Maybe they respond slowly, or too little, or wrongly, but consumers have voices, and the internet provides platforms on which we shout.
On a more serious note, I'm very glad your digestion is fine! Happy holidays, PBD!
