RE: Is Adobe overpriced? - S3xySmurf - 10-01-2017
I'd say it's overpriced that's why I use gimp it's open source and doesn't require cracking saying that adobe has a wider range of features and I'd love to learn how to crack it, I believe its something to do with amtlib.dll but I haven't practiced in a long time so it will be almost like starting from scratch..
I inherently don't usually use cracked software due to being infected/hacked in the past, games on the other hand have gamecopyworld / gameburnworld which I've never had an issue with.

Yes adobe is absolutely without a doubt overpriced

IMO, yes. There's plenty of other software which is equally as good but a lot cheaper.

Even when you dont have much money, like as a student, you get a good discount on the proucts imo.
What did you see the student discount as? It didn't seem like much of a difference to me, and well out of my budget.

I do think Adobe is a bit overpriced. You can get Gimp which is almost just as good as Adobe, but for free. They just want as much money as they can get.

In germany you pay 19,34 € per month, for all adobe products as a student, which is ok imo, the normal price per month for all products would be 59,49€. I think with the students discount its ok, but normally its maybe a bit overpriced.

Oh wow, the discount is pretty impressive there. Although, I still wouldn't purchase it unless I was making money from my work on it. That's still over $230 a year. Which, doesn't sound like much, but when you have a lot of expenses and minimal income, that's just something I can't afford.

Here's a list compiled from various sources, mainly open source projects which are still being actively developed, just fyi.
- GIMP = Adobe Photoshop
- Inkscape = Adobe Illustrator
- Scribus = Adobe Indesign
- OpenShot = Adobe Premiere
- Synfig = Adobe Animate
- darktable = Adobe Lightroom
- Natron / ButtleOFX = Adobe Aftereffects
- Ardour = Adobe Audition
- Master PDF = Adobe Acrobat

Nice share. Actually, I'm aware of a few people using many of these. I've yet to try them myself.

Oh yeah adobe product are overpriced. especially when you buy it only to use 1-3 of their product. They should have different option of pricing...
