    That is one hell of a product launch.

    I just bought and installed Lightroom 2 last night, would really like to get Photoshop CS4 now, but that might have to wait a couple of months.

    Once the course have been updated, you should be able to get CS4 for under £500 along with a digital photography training course: http://www.amateurphotographer.co.uk/spi/

    And as usual Adobe royally screw over everyone in the UK with their rip off pricing structure. $2,499 for CS4 Master in USA. £2,313(inc vat) for the same thing in the UK.

    rip-off Britain strikes again.

    That doesn't bother me nearly as much as the fact that Adobe chrage you exactly the same price for a download as they do for shipping a boxed version to you.

    I would have had Lightroom sent to me, just so it costs Adobe more money, but I wanted the software there and then. It's such a shame their software is really good (well, apart from Acrobat Reader), I'd happily boycot them otherwise.

    Not strictly true - if you upgrade, the download version actually costs MORE than having the box sent to you. Strange.

    I cannot believe the pricing of this product in the uk. I have the full CS3 Master Collection, and yet it will still cost me nearly a grand to upgrade. And for what benefit? Not a grands-worth, that'll be for sure.

    I'm one that wont be upgrading. I simply will not get the funding.

    Re: News - Adobe launches Creative Suite 4

    Is it me or is the new CS4 interface design incredibly ugly and don't even get me started on the 'icons'. Fine Vista and Leopard have their own style, but if I were to pay over a thousand pounds on some software I would at least expect them to match it to my OS of choice. No they build it on effing flash, remember another app that used Flash for it's frontend? yeah Sony SonicStage, that was pretty popular :/

    p.s. SonicStage was slow as hell, but it did actually look nice and not just more grey than an early 90s OS.
