    I'm curious do you think it's worth to pay for the original version of this softwares or you use them cracked?


    at the moment i think 150€ a year it's a bit too much, and you?

    When the money start to come i am defitinely buying Capture One but this subscription from Adobe is just too expensive if you consider the price you are going to pay each year

    I've used cracked versions for years and still run them, but I do have a valid sub for CC and I outright purchase C1P if/when required. Having to sign in/out is the only downside I've encountered thus far.

    Purchased PS5 for approx 650 - then been using crk'd versions ever since . . .

    Paid for every version of LR until sub - still have versions 5 & 6 in unwrapped box . . . ACR & PS is (was) faster than ver.4 - only used to cull and sort/rag/catalog pics

    C1P vastly better IOP compared to LR . . .

    Hello you all readers,

    I will give my two dollars solution:
    the annual Photography plan with 20gb
    is only 9.99/mo and I Only pay for the
    months I have work, so let say in the year
    I work for five "clients" during June,
    September, November, December and January;
    Well I will only pay 9.99x5 that's more
    or less 50US.

    I also do my PS and LR during 5 months,
    The rest of the time I will look for more work and less
    Post/retouching!

    No clients no Photography plan active, and very important,
    No annual plan. Hope this will help..... LA
    Cheers..... ;)

    I did not understand the word "Pay".
    Am afraid I never learned these vocabulary either; purchase, sale, price, cost...
    Let me know if you're interested to learn how to google for stuff.

    i guess the problem is if what we search is mainstream enough to be found

    I pay $15.99/month for the entire Adobe suite with their last Black Friday student discount promo. At that price, it's a no brainer. I'll get the full version of Resolve when I get a BM camera and/or when I make more $$$ from video work. I'll also purchase Capture One as it's like the Davinci Resolve of Photo Editing.
