Strictly a beginner hobbyist here-I feel the value/fun/quality/flexibility/functionality received is incredible. And i never disregard the value of the online training, forums, etc that add greatly to my growth as a photographer and user of software. Saying that..i wish upgrades didn't come so fast. Perhaps if i was professional-one financially dependant so to speak-using software to enhance their art and to keep ahead of the competition with new fresh techniques i might think differently. But i would guess many of us have not even begun to master the capabilities of our current software before we begin thinking we need the latest. The upgrades keep my interest and excitement and desire to learn more, more, more but also takes away from getting deep into the nitty gritty of what i already have. And maybe even slowing my progress because i'm spending spare time researching all the "latest developments" instead of developing my skills. It's all fun though :-) I would love the software to be less expensive…yet with regards to Adobe specifically i find pricing to be a fair.
