Interesting reviews here... Almost as if trained monkeys were let loose on
keyboards and enticed to vote 5 stars for everything.
Whilst I do stress this application is a must have for anyone "in the
know", it is far from perfect. It's resource hungry, and the latest version
has only made things even worse with reports of the software taking as much as 5
mins to properly load up on a high specification system.
The interface is clean, with easy to find options for what you want - and
should you get stuck on anything, there's always someone around who can help
you. Failing that, there's always Youtube.
Lastly... the price is nothing short of disgusting. Adobe seem to think that
anything they produce is worthy of a price tag that wouldn't go amiss next to a
brand new car in a showroom. They don't even compare when viewing the official
prices from different countries, with huge discrepancies due to their monopoly.
$699 in the US vs. $830 in the UK for exactly the same product.
How some of you can literally hold your heads high after voting this a 5/5
for value is beyond belief.
Overall, a decent software... probably the best, but seriously let down by
the resources it needs to run, and the pricing that Adobe seem to enjoy
increasing each year.
