Presently own a perpetual license for Adobe Creative Suite 6 Master Collection. Will not be subscribing to Adobe Creative Cloud. Looking for links to what Corel might offer.
Thanks.

Adobe users upgraded on a regular schedule. What does Corel accept as proof of purchase? The link doesn't work at the moment, but a CS4, CS5 license will work. You need to provide your CS serial + date of purchase on this page: http://mc.corel.com/servlet/Satellite?pagename=register I filled it in after buying the CorelDRAW X6 upgrade and got an e-mail within 24 hours with a serial number I can use when installing the upgrade version.

The cost depends on the Country you live in, I can't answer that for you. It's the initial cost of the upgrade version, and if you want to stay up to date you can get a Premium Membership (365 days). The major new versions appear every two years now. As you can see on this page:http://www.corel.com/corel/pages/index.jsp?pgid=2100019&storeKey=us&languageCode=enSo the cost would be the inital upgrade price + (2X premium membership) to stay fully up to date every two years. And you get to keep the latest perpetual version with a premium membership. Unlike with Adobe's subscription model.Since I am only a CorelDRAW user for a couple of days now, I of course can't say which is better. My guess at this point would be Adobe (I'm mainly talking about Photoshop here). But I'm going to give CorelDRAW and especially Photo-Paint a serious try.Jeff.

Clip1923 said: PS: I also found PhotoShop’s hype about Smart Objects and Smart Filters to be a marketing hoax. They’re just a duplicate layer with the eye closed on the original layer.
But Smart Objects and Smart Filters deserve a bit more credit. Smart objects can be transformed over and over without loss of quality for one thing. And if you change one smart object, all other duplicates of that one smart object change with it. But they keep whatever other settings and transformations you've applied to them. I don't use the more advanced features of Smart objects that often, but it's pretty powerful stuff when you need it.And smart filters lets you add filters/effects on top of a layer and you can change all the parameters at any point without damaging anything. You can change your mind and not worry about any loss in image quality. Also very handy. Adobe has a lot of marketing BS, no doubt. But these features were worth upgrading for.
