| Yes- I was quoting a price JUST for PhotoShop not the entire creative suite... The problem with Creative Suite is I would only occasionally (rarely)  use In Design- and  have chosen not to do web design- even for myself... So- there you have it - I suppose Adobe's reasoning is that if you need all this you are running a design or advertising firm. There needs to be a lower "Photography Practitioner" price- someone like me who likes to have all those programs on his or her computer for bragging rights- but can only really use PhotoShop. I used to collect Mardi Gras doubloons- no I collect filters and various image editing programs. RVallon

 I think some of the confusion is quoting upgrade prices for Adobe Creative Suite vs just Photoshop.

I tried the CS3 but found it buggy on my Mac so I simply went to CS on my laptop as it booted faster. Now I use LR 2.0 for almost everything and only play with wacky filters or do facial retouches in Photoshop... I do like the fact you can export Zoomify files right from CS4....
