Adobe launched a series of new products and updates. Here is the list:
1) And Update of CC with new Focus masks feature (adobe.com/products/photoshop.html)
2) Photoshop Mix for iPad (itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-photoshop-mix-creative/id885271158).
3) Lightroom and Photoshop CC for $9,99 monthly sub (creative.adobe.com/plans/offer/photoshop+lightroom).
4) And Lightroom mobile. (adobe.com/products/lightroom-mobile.html)
Nothing really groundbreaking. Still hope they will get rid of that monthly subscription fee. It’s the one big thing that annoys me most 🙁

Hope to see LR mobile become more robust..and faster.
The mobile version is limited by the power of you mobile device, it’s not a software issue. Stop whining biotch.
Only one person is whining, and he is an anonymous douchebag troll who I shall not feed like the stray, unwanted dog he is.
the subscription model sucks… i bought the latest version of photoshop hoping it lasts me 3+ years… maybe by then there will be another player in this space…
The version you bought will run indefinitely, but the number of updates to the version you purchased is limited. Unless you buy a new camera you will not need an update to maintain all the functionality you paid for. Do you think it will be supported with updates indefinitely?
The DNG converter helps anyone with almost any Ps version to process any camera they like. The only thing is that you don’t get the new process versions but that hasn’t stopped people taking photos or frantically buying the newest versions of Ps or Lr.
The subscription model is not going away any time soon…it’s the new way of selling software. Microsoft is doing the same thing with Office. And if one pays attention to the quarterly reports, it’s working great for Adobe’s profits.
There are some advantages: free updates…so you always have the latest and greatest…and the cloud model of sharing files across devices. Also, with the subscription model, you don’t have to pay extra for apps on mobile devices.
It’s just a different way of doing things…in some ways better, in some ways not…
Free updates…rofl, LOL, are you really so naive and short seeing?
The monthly fee is bad, but it is even worse that it is not working. They clams 3 month without Internet, but I am asked to log on every 2-3 days. Yesterday it told me I was started om a 30 days trial. Adobe administration sucks.
Repeat that again, but let me play a sad tune on this tiny violin. Waaaaaaaaaaa
yeah… just like sony..
Lightroom was updated to version 5.5 and it now supports A7s
The most interessting part is Lightroom Updated to v5.5
Even if its only a small update =)
Some further reading and with v5.5 support is added for:
Here is the list of all newly supported camera models:
•Canon PowerShot G1 X Mark II
•Fuji FinePix S1
•Nikon 1 J4
•Nikon 1 S2
•Nikon 1 V3
•Olympus OM-D E-M10
•Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GH4
•Pentax 645Z
•Samsung NX3000
•Sony DSC-RX100 III
•Sony A7S (ILCE-7S)
•Sony Alpha SLT-A77 II (ILCA-77M2)
Now if only dxo would get their finger out…
I have both programs =)
but yes I too prefer DxO
The bad joke with the monthly fee is that it is 9,99$ for US citizens while they ask 12,80€ from EU citizens. It should be more like 8,99€ to equal the prizing in the US!
…and they take 61,49 € if you want to use just two CC programs, while it is $49.99 for US citizen. You are right, this is a bad joke. It is totally overpriced. They won’t get my money.
What do an Adobe announcement have to do with a Sony Alpha rumor site ????
Get your priorities and focus clear !!
Where is the news on MF camera? and RX1 update?
Best thing I did was buy a Windows 8.1 tablet – it happily runs lightroom and dxo, plays nicely with sd cards and removable hard drives and I can calibrate the screen… I gave up with Android for photo editing after they stopped letting you delete photos from sd cards.
Damn right.
Am I the only person who thinks focus masking is a non-feature? Its already childs play to make a perfect selection because of the massive contrast and color difference. Most of the time you just draw along the border of the thing you want to select (with the quick selection tool) and you are done.
Now you can choose monthly or yearly fee for more of their products which is nice. Still an annual fee but at least you can choose yearly now rather than monthly, so it’s always something.
The Subscription Fee Model is problematic. Only a few weeks ago, the Adobe registration servers Stopped Working. For two days. If you didn’t already have a specific app open/running, you could not open it during the outage. I missed client deadlines because InDesign wouldn’t open.
Adobe’s customer service rep was pathetic and ineffectual. I lost an account, and Adobe offered me $8 in compensation…. Which, they still did not apply to my most recent billing.
Not sure what the advantage is of “free updates.” They aren’t really free, and none of them that I’ve seen have been worth the cost of an upgrade under non-subscription conditions. Adobe has professionals caged. But, it’s not permanent. Look at Quark. They had a professional monopoly at one time, too.
Confirmed that the latest version of Adobe Camera Raw (8.5) which is also included in the latest release of Lightroom (5.5) includes support for the a77m2:

The price of a couple of pints of beer a month for LR + PS seems reasonable to me – and I can confirm LR5.5 reads A77ii RAW files 🙂
