Apologies if I'm being 'Mr Thickie' here Neil... but how is that any different to the old CS days? We used to get 'free' fixes & updates in the X.1/X.2/X.3 etc. versions regularly didn't we? Honestly, I'm not trying to start an argument, I've been subscribing to CC since last summer and I still don't get how it's any better in this regard... I'm happy to be enlightened though!
But my point, as ever, is completely different to this anyway... I'm not really fussed over how and when updates/fixes etc. are delivered... the system worked before and it works now (despite Adobe being a bit behind the competition with the LR D4S support!). All I've ever been concerned with is that Adobe can now cut their development budget and still maintain their revenue stream... so we'll be seeing less new killer features for our money in the future than we used to get under their old business model. I suppose it will take another year or two to be able to really judge whether I'm right or not but so far there's been little of interest to me... Shake Reduction?... Pretty Useless / Perspective Warp?... Could do that with existing tools before! / Conditional Actions?... OK that's a bit useful in some circumstances but hardly groundbreaking / Er... that's about it so far really, none of the other 'improvements' are of any interest to me... Let's see if they come up with much more over the next couple of years or so... but I doubt it!
