Quote - They want around $400. US for an upgrade for the extended version. Too much money. They are trying to make photoshop a "do-all" app, a big mistake I think.
Oh, if Adobe would combine Illustrator and Photoshop into one program -- then the resulting functionality might be worth $1000. As things stand now, if you want vector graphics -- then you'll need to cough up an additional $599 over the cost of Photoshop for the privilege. Unless if you purchase one of the Creative Suite packages......in which case you get the individual programs a little cheaper than you do by purchasing all of them separately. But $1,199 to $1,799 is still a fair amount of outlay for a hobbyist to have to justify 'investing' to their spouse.
It's worth that kind of price to a pro -- especially if they can get their employer to buy it for them.
