And let's not forget its place within the suite - not the prime focus of many here but that is quite a significant market sector for Adobe of course - without who there would perhaps be none of this to discuss and deliberate about at all.
Yes - a good point. I doubt if Syntrillium would have managed to get the program where it is today without the support of Adobe. Obviously, since Adobe wrote the cheques, they must have called the shots (at least, to a very large extent).
I'm just a little concerned that, as a large corporation with a huge
professional client base (where cost is frequently a secondary consideration) they might lose sight of the 'little man'.
OTOH, SteveG's post does show there might be a glimmer of light and I hope the ideas he is talking about bear some fruit.
As always, it's whether this particular tool (or toolset) is right for the tasks you tend to require it for.
Of course - I couldn't disagree with that. It's the way one
should choose ones software. What irks me is that CEP/AA was
the tool of choice for me (and many others) but its recent developments have now taken it in a direction whereby I have to consider if I really want to continue using it or if I need to look elsewhere.
I don't really want to look elsewhere - really, I have no need to look, since I probably own most of the alternative applicable software already - but it's reaching the point where AA is offering me very little extra functionality (as far as restoration is concerned) at a non-commensurate price.
