When Adobe made Photoshop subscription only, I swore I'd never succumb to the subscription model of software. I had CS4 and that would work fine for me. I also bought the Topaz suite, which was a one-time purchase and I was set. I'd use Sony's free software to convert my RAW files into TIFs, use CS4 to process the TIFs, use Topaz to denoise and sharpen, then take them back to CS4 and turn the TIF's into jpegs for the internet. For a two-week trip in Yellowstone, it would take me nearly two weeks to process the files and I'd usually only process a couple hundred out of four or five thousand.
Then I went on a group trip to Sax-Zim in January and the guy I was rooming with had Lightroom and Photoshop and showed me what that stuff can do nowadays and...
Shoot. I did it. I subscribed for a year at least.
Now I'm going back through images from the last 4 or 5 years to see what I could have done if I'd had it the whole time.
