[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 714421, member: 9240"] I'm 100% with you on the entrenched in Adobe thing. Not sure I would ever, or ever want to go elsewhere. I did take the time to go over and see what the offer is specifically, and effectively it is a buy once own forever thing that may appeal to some as they feel that Adobe forces them to continue to spend for potential future enhancements that they may not want or need. But here's where I see the fallacy of those arguments. ON1 is offering your free updates for the next year, at which point their 2021 version will come out and you'll need to fork over another $79.99 (the previous owner price) to get anything more after that (or $129.99 if you want access to all the learning materials). If you're in the second category then you're paying precisely what I'm paying, and if you [I]don't[/I] opt in early then you could potentially be paying far more if you want to keep up. I don't know what ON1 will be adding in the future but I know that I've been thrilled with many of the new additions to Lightroom and Photoshop, so I've got no beef being on the hook. As I see it, if you're just getting into it and don't know that you'll still be into photography or shooting Raw in a year, then maybe a buy once use forever product makes sense. But I can't find justification to switch. But hey, that's probably part of my DNA - I wouldn't switch to Canon even after my brother promised me all is newspaper gear on perpetual loan as I sold off my Nikon stuff and bought my own. [/QUOTE]
