However, pricing is a little more difficult than Adobe's single monthly fee, which only applies if you subscribe for a full year with monthly paying. However, at $54.99 per month for individuals, this is by far the best value for a content creator who does it all. The All Apps package can be intimidating for the ordinary water photographer, and it's certainly not as good a bargain for simply snapping stills and post-processing them. How much does Photoshop charge for early termination?Īdobe's All Apps package gives you access to over 20 Adobe Creative Cloud apps, including Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere, and After Effects.But at least Adobe are having a real go in this space. Frankly, a combination of PSE 10 and LR4 represents a ton of power for the price now. But if Aperture 4 takes to long to appear (or just sucks), I might have to. Having said that, I'd rather Apple get their ar*e in gear and give it the update it needs, than migrate my library into Adobeness on my Mac. Its brush and gradient level controls are simply way more powerful than Aperture, noise reduction and exposure being key examples. I've played with the LR 4 beta for a couple of months now and it's amazing. It may have a better general UI and workflow than LR, but that's about it. It is a monumentally unstable resource hog. My (and clearly a lot of other people's) experience of running version 3 has been painful, and was only remotely stable for me at 3.2. Had Aperture for about 2 years now and I'm hoping for a radically new version. Pricing for Student/Teacher and Upgrade editions of Lightroom 4 is set at $79, with the Upgrade edition valid for any previous version of Lightroom. With the release of Lightroom 4, Adobe has slashed the application's price in half to $149, presumably responding to Apple's price cut on Aperture that saw it drop to just $79 when it moved to the Mac App Store with that marketplace's debut in January 2011. Photoshop Lightroom 4 was released as a public beta just under two months ago, and Adobe has made several additional improvements since that time. “Lightroom 4 is a stunning new release that will enhance photography workflows and help photographs stand out from the crowd.” “Feedback from our customers is invaluable in developing Lightroom and the real trick to a great release is to combine these insights with Adobe’s unrivalled image processing innovation,” said Winston Hendrickson, vice president products, Creative Media Solutions, Adobe. Lightroom 4 introduces refined technology for superior shadow and highlight processing, ability to create photo books, additional local adjustment controls, and enhanced video support. Adobe today announced the immediate release of Photoshop Lightroom 4, bringing a number of new features and a lower price tag to the company's professional photo management and manipulation software.
