They’re upset that Adobe’s stand-alone Lightroom 6 ($150) is the last “perpetual” version Adobe will update version 6.13 is out today, and will be supported for bug fixes and camera compatibility only through the end of 2017. Two year cost: $360.įor some, the principle of essentially renting software instead of owning it outright is what they don’t like. Let’s say they go for the less expensive option. PhaseOne also now offers a subscription plan, starting at $20 per month, or as a one-time yearly payment of $180 ($15/mo). Two year cost: $400.Īdobe’s Photography Plan subscription is $10 per month, which includes the latest versions of Lightroom and Photoshop (and now also includes the cloud-focused Lightroom CC).
So, someone who bought Capture One Pro for $300 two years ago needs to pay $99 to upgrade to version 10. I just received an email saying my copy of Capture One Pro 8, which I got two years ago to review for Macworld, is no longer being supported.
I’m not putting down anyone who wants to make a switch or arguing for one tool or another, but I thought this was amusing today in regards to pricing. My article about Lightroom CC for DPReview now has almost 1,000 comments (!), most of them by people upset about Adobe’s subscription pricing and indignantly threatening to switch to PhaseOne’s Capture One Pro.
