Adobe - Heads up on Upgrades

Dave and I had a Skype catch up recently and one of the many topics of conversation was the upgrade path policy on Adobe products.

It used to be that if you had say Photoshop CS2 you could bu the upgrade to take you to CS5 as you could make the cheaper route option with up to 3 levels of version variance.

Caution, my friends - No more is that the case.

So unless you upgrade at each an every version, and miss one out you will pay full whack.

So for example, you are on CS4, CS5 is current and CS6 is just around the corner, then if you wait you will be shelling out £600 or thereabouts instead of ca. £150.

OK, so you are now warned.

I will check out Lightroom and see if that is the same, but will assume so.

So if you are on levels below CS5 or LR3, get buying if you want to save in the longer term

Bio's

David Courtenay, a self taught wildlife and nature photographer, has been capturing images for over 30 years. He has had a passion for wildlife since early childhood and remembers being glued to the television whenever Survival, Wildlife on One and other natural history documentaries were shown. In the 2006 he swapped his established career for the life of a wildlife photographer, such a move demands a measure of uncompromising passion and commitment.

David has travelled extensively throughout Europe as well as spending more than 7 months in India working with local guides and trackers in search of Bengal Tiger, Asian One horned Rhino and Asian Elephant. He has also photographed Wildlife in Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sumatra, Africa, Canada and America. Working closely with Conservation companies he tries to raise funds to help Wildlife that has been put on the endangered list by poaching and habitation loss

Martin Dyer has had a passion for avian wildlife since childhood, particularly raptors. Photography was also another keen interest and it was with the specific availability and control of the whole process that digital offers that Martin was then able to combine the two in 2003. Based in the UK, Martin is a regular visitor to Scotland, specifically the Isle of Mull to watch the Eagles resident there. Other trips to Europe and around the UK are usually part of Martin’s agenda in a typical year.

However, as a firm believer on making the most of the local patch, Martin has spent a lot of time and hard work creating a wildlife garden which is reaping the rewards with many new species and varieties of wildlife. A keen member of a number of wildlife photographic groups, Martin is keen to expand his portfolio into other areas of wildlife, and has already established a wide portfolio of images of fungi.
