A Finnish photographer calls out the lies, greedflation and total disrespect from Adobe.

In 2009, the CEO of Adobe was paid $5 million dollars :

Today - 15 years later - the CEO of Adobe is paid $55 million dollars :

And it’s the same guy ! For him, this is all a game. “Keep increasing the price. Stupid peasants will pay. The board members are my friends. How high can my score go ?"

I stopped upgrading when they stopped selling standalone offline software. Darktable is a good enough alternative to Lightroom, and most other software can be replaced if you are willing to relearn and create new workflows.
