As the owner of a small multimedia enterprise I have a different view. Adobe products like Photoshop and Premiere have opened doors for me & I make money using that software. The suite I would buy is $2500, and these things seem to need replacing or upgrading about every two years. I routinely use In-design, PS, Premiere, Soundboard and After Effects & Encore. I do magazine ads, jewelry photography, EPK’s, short films and instructional videos.

$2500 divided by 24 months… $104 a month. Cost of doing biz. $50 a month with upgrades, plus I do qualify for the $30 rate. Count me in. Sure I wish it was less. I also wish my camera and lenses were less. Not gonna happen soon.
