Hey Folks...
I'm not exactly sure where to place this post, so mods please feel free to move if you believe appropriate. I did a search but wasn't able to come up with this topic in search so if someone else knows where it is, a link would be appreciated.
Many of us use Photoshop and Illustrator to work with our paper props. As you probably know, Adobe has switched to "Creative Cloud" where you essentially "rent" your copy of the program on a monthly or yearly basis. The program "calls home" to ensure that you have paid your bill and if you didn't, you can no longer work with your files.
For me, I use the programs sporadically so paying a monthly fee just isn't worth it to me. I'm at CS5 now and will probably jump to CS6 and avoid CC all together. Even though they will not be updating it, that should keep me going for a while and buy me some time to see if I want to make the move to some of the freeware programs out there or maybe another company like Corel makes a serious competitor.
I'm especially interested in what Roland and DBCooper are planning on doing ... if anything.I can't remember if you use Adobe products, Corel or freeware like GIMP/Inkscape.
