Yesterday, if you didn’t own Photoshop, the cost of getting started was $700.<\/p>\n

Today it’s $20*.<\/p>\n

Yesterday if you didn’t own the Master Collection, the cost was $2,600.<\/p>\n

Today it’s $50–or if you own a CS3 or later app, just $30 (!).<\/p>\n

Yesterday if you wanted to reach tablets via Adobe’s Digital Publishing Solution, the cost was $400 per publication.<\/p>\n

Soon it’ll be free, for unlimited publications, once you subscribe to\u00a0Creative Cloud.<\/p>\n

This is a very big deal.<\/p>\n

Adobe’s now willing to take a lot less money from you up front. \u00a0Why? \u00a0Because we think we’ll be able to extend Creative Suite apps to a lot of people who couldn’t afford them previously, and because we think you’ll keep coming back as our offerings get better & better. \u00a0That’s good for you & good for Adobe.<\/p>\n

We don’t want to sell you something once and say goodbye; we want to earn your business again & again. And with what we have in development, we feel confident we will.<\/p>\n
