Discuss the software bundle and things you've made with it or one of its programs here. I, for one, created a nice button (Gravitation told me so on Skype ) in Adobe Fireworks CS6, which I will show here:

I unfortunately am not in a position to spend that much on software… Adobe's stuff is among the best of the best but I can't justify that price tag unless you're a person who legitimately needs the programs for your occupation. I have used the trial versions from time to time for school projects. Even the CS2 stuff that they released for free (kind of) is nice, but I've found that with the video applications (premiere and AE) there are some codec compatibility issues or something since there were always export problems. My school does have CS5 Design Premium, so it's nice to have access to PS when I need it though.

I have it at school. On ONE computer.

Now to convince my parents to get it here…

Pretty much every Adobe application is released under the Creative Cloud, with new features and no limitations, for 49.99 per month. I could just barely afford the price tag, and that price does require an annual commitment, but for good, polished products (in my opinion), the annual commitment is worth it.

Photoshop is not the only Adobe application; there are many others, like for editing videos, websites, audio, etc.

My point is not at all that Adobe products are bad. They are top notch, as I have heard. My point is that they are way out of reach for the average hobbyist!

so yeah.

I don't like subscription software, and there's good free alternatives for most things, especially the Mac iLife programs
