Quoting Ed Keeney <[email protected]>:
I currently use and older version of Photoshop Elements (v5) to
post-process my images. It works and I've been happy with it.
I currently don't use the Organizer that is paired with the
application. My organization is all in my head (I separate images by
month/year). I don't have any tagging, so if I wanted to find an
image of my father-in-law, I would need to know which image I want and
then approximate the year and date.
I was thinking about moving to the Adobe Cloud offering for
photographers, $10/month and I get PS and Lightroom.
Should I just continue to use the standalone PSE product and get
myself into its Organizer product.
Since I don't upgrade too often (version 13 is the latest PSE), I'm
not sure its worth the $120/year for the full PS and Lightroom over
the $79 one time cost for PSE or a switch to the standalone Lightroom.
Thoughts?
I opted for the Adobe Cloud for photographers subscription and I'm
quite happy with it although I rarely use the Lightroom component. I
was never going to be able to justify buying CS6 outright but the
Cloud model is a affordable way to get the latest version of Photoshop.
Previously I'd been using a hand-me-down version of CS3 and, if I'm
honest, there's not a lot more that CC offers that I can't do in CS3.
So, if Adobe increases the monthly subscription excessively I'd
undoubtedly just go back to the earlier version even if that would
involve an extra step in post processing to convert raw images to a
CS3 readable format.
As for organisation, I don't use Bridge CC either. I've been using
Studioline Photo Classic for years for image organisation and I'm more
than happy with it.
