Adobe Changing Upgrade Policy
#7

Actually...having a seamless workflow between PhotoShop and Lightroom was one of the key reasons why I updated to CS5 - it really is very nice.

The other thing I really like about CS5 is the new clone tool - which is very clever. It looks around the *target* area and clones/blends intelligently. The first time I used it, I was cloning pieces of a picket fence over a car, and I was amazed about how well it *understood* what I was trying to do, and aligned the pickets in one continuous flow. Again - really very nice.

I suppose what I am trying to say here is that there are valid reasons for upgrading your software once in a while, and I don't mind paying for it at an upgrade price point. I am distressed about this new policy, however. I think they should at least honor upgrade pricing 2-3 major versions back. I suppose that their belief is that PhotoShop is primarily used by design industry professionals who will pay the price without questioning it much. Sounds like a self fulfilling prophecy to me. If guys like us need to pay full price every time we upgrade, it moves from no-brainer territory into to a major purchasing decision.
