With all of the recent news about a rumor of 1Password going subscription for their applications, I wanted to see if I\u2019m still using the latest version of Adobe Lightroom. I am. Lightroom 6 is still the current version and I receive quarterly updates as long as I remember to launch Creative Cloud and check for updates as I don\u2019t allow Creative Cloud to run at start since it uses a lot more resources than it should for an app updater.<\/p>\n
I looked at my Amazon History. I paid $144 for Lightroom 6 standalone in May of 2015. On a monthly basis, I\u2019ve spent $5.50 a month to own Lightroom and if it\u2019s ever updated to version 7, I could continue to run version 6 for the next decade as it suits my needs.<\/p>\n
If I had spent $10 a month on Adobe Creative Cloud photographers, I\u2019d have Photoshop which I never use and will have spent $260 for the same software. Subscriptions seem good but they cost you more money in the long-run.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With all of the recent news about a rumor of 1Password going subscription for their applications, I wanted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"apple_news_api_created_at":"2017-07-25T14:06:52Z","apple_news_api_id":"f66eb02d-53b3-4cb6-b203-9f962e5b536d","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2017-07-25T14:06:55Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/A9m6wLVOzTLayA5-WLltTbQ","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7020","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-technology","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1Pe","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2297,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2011\/04\/27\/lightroom-camera-raw-updates-are-available-adobe\/","url_meta":{"origin":7020,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 LightRoom & Camera Raw Updates are Available [Adobe]","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"April 27, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"Adobe: Lightroom encountered issues presenting double-byte character metadata after the image was edited on Photoshop.com Video files were allowed to be added to a SmugMug publish collection not capable of supporting video uploads The up and down arrow keys did not work properly when trying to adjust a point tone\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "Linked"","block_context":{"text":"Linked","link":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/category\/linked\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":8628,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2021\/12\/28\/technology-macbook-pro-16-m1-max-first-impressions\/","url_meta":{"origin":7020,"position":1},"title":"Technology: MacBook Pro 16″ M1 Max First Impressions","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"December 28, 2021","format":false,"excerpt":"In June, I purchased a nearly fully loaded M1 MacBook Pro 13\u201d I wanted a fan to reduce throttling of the performance due to heat and I wanted more ports than the MacBook Air allowed.
