“Late last night, Adobe unwrapped a heck of a deal for teams of designers and developers: It’s letting entire teams get their hands on Creative Cloud apps (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, the works), for $30,” Jolie O’Dell reports for VentureBeat.
“That will give a whole group of people access to any one app as well as 20GB of cloud storage and the ability to showcase work on Behance,” O’Dell reports. “For a single user to get that single-app package, the price is $20, so giving the app to a whole work group for $10 more is kind of crazy, but good-crazy, like NeNe Leakes or something.”

still hate this parasitical ‘website’. smells like smegma to me.
Every time you visit MDN, you keep them in business longer.
Is this a smell you have a lot of experience with?
FIRST OFF. This article leads you to a different idea than what I believe is to be true.
He first says
It’s letting entire teams get their hands on Creative Cloud apps (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, the works), for $30″
But than says
For a single user to get that single-app package, the price is $20, so giving the app to a whole work group for $10 more is kind of crazy”
So, I believe this is just for a group of users to use ONE app, not the whole suite.
The article was quite confusing, and i am too lazy to go to adobe to look it up…maybe i will later.
Hm. $30 a month forever for Adobe’s poorly written software? I don’t think so. They *still* can’t deal with case-sensitive file systems even though these systems have been around for decades! Just plain hubris and sloppy programming.
If you check the fine print – even for groups, that price is PER USER for the group. You just get added “benefits”. It’s no bargain at all. That article needs to be corrected.
Desperation… Adobe sees the writing on the wall, they no longer have the world by the balls, there are new markets, new products and new users…
While Adobe has been sitting on it’s ass investing more in copy procetiom schemes than in evolution and innovation, the world has changed and passed it by – all the users they dissed, now have no time or inclination to play ball. It’s only a matter of time before the big ones die too Shantu…
Desperation…. And littering the environment, the clouds that is.
For those looking for real alternatives to “real” Ps (ie not wanting to go to adobes cloud)
There is now a native version of GIMP it is pretty much the technical equivalent of Ps (layers/channels(real alpha)/paths etc) It’s freeware.

I prefer Simone Karin Lehmann’s build (2nd in the list) more up to date 2.8.6, & it has the “pro” (drk grey) interface available (in prefs)
I just want an alternative to InDesign.
And Illustrator.
What are the alternatives? Quark is still around for high end things. I now use Pages for simple flyers and such. My printer now wants PDFs and doesn’t require ID files anymore. Not my area. What else do people use?
I’m not a designer but been using pixelmator on my macbook for some stuff and seems very advanced.
Always wondered… Is it not Pixelmator of the same caliber as Photoshop or similar? Or what is it people does not like about pixelmator?
