Yep, I've been expecting Adobe to jack prices sooner. There's just not enough people buying the product to justify the low prices. Sure it's great when you can get it now for about $500, but when you look at the whole company, Adobe isn't in trouble, but they're hurting. I'm glad I got PS 5.5 for both Mac and PC at the same time! Sheesh! Maybe Corel can pull a good one with Painter now...
