The adobe subscription @$120/yr just isn't appealing to me. I have tried LRv5 and just didn't get it. Not that it's not powerful.I just don't like the gui. Nor do I use the database. That leaves PS which I might use very occasionally. The value isn't there for me as an occasional user. The subscription is always compared to stand-alone versions as if one were to continually upgrade. Sure the subscription is continually upgraded but that doesn't add value for me. I'm happy picking up the last year's version on sale and living with it for a while. I still use CS2 :)

I also tried PSE and use it on occasion but don't think I'll upgrade. The current version can be had for $50. Frankly Faststone gets it done for web posts since I don't mess around in post much and DxO if I want to go RAW. Might give ON1 a try some day. .. And there are other very capable freebies

PS Brian, my C: drive is a 256gb SSD which is plenty big enough for me. These days a 500 is about the same price. Makes a HUGE difference. I only run programs off the SSD and have spinning drives for everything else. I added a second 256 SSD and point the cache there but with a 500 you have plenty of room for cache. Ask your guy to add the 2tb drive _and_ swap the 500 C: drive for an SSD. The single best thing you can do. Use the money that you don't send to Adobe :)
