Adobe Cuts Perpetual License for Elements Down to Just Three Years
petapixel.com
So long, lifetime license.

Among the most significant changes with this year’s Elements releases has little to do with new features but instead concerns the ways users purchase and own the software. While prior versions of Photoshop and Premiere Elements have been lifetime licenses — the user buys the software and then owns it indefinitely — this year’s release has moved to a three-year license term.

    Can recommend the Affinity suite for anyone looking for some good alternatives.

    Darktable is alright for LightRoom replacement as well.

      Swapped to the Affinity suite a few months ago and have been loving it. DaVinci Resolve replaced Premiere. Still having trouble finding a decent After Effects replacement though. I’ve been eyeing Natron but haven’t tried it yet.

          To be honest, I never considered fusion to be the same thing. But I guess it is. Hmm. Thanks for that insight. I’m going to look into fusions features more.

        Oh yeah resolve is great as well. Love how they all have iPad apps too, moved so much of my workflow to the couch.

        Inkscape recently also got decent multipage import and export for multipage pdfs and honestly it works great!
