Photoshop

[martin_h]

Just fired up the computer to recieve a message from Adobe telling me my version of Photoshop 5.1 is not a valid copy.........NOT HAPPY!!

I paid good money for this in good faith from an online software company....hey ho!

I had the same thing, I bought what I thought was a genuine copy for £1600, turns out the company were con artists and I now have to pay £48.99 a month for the full version, I was not happy and reported to Action Fraud and they said there was nothing they could do about it.

I was surprised to see that they are offering monthly subscription at £10 per month that includes large cloud storage too.   This is for PS and LR

Yes I paid for the £10 a month Creative Cloud Photography plan that give 20GB cloud space - I don't use that part. It was slightly (haha) cheaper for annual - with VAT it was £119.21. A saving of 79p! I might be able to buy a tiny Mars bar with the $$$$ I've saved.

CC Photography gives  Photoshop and the always useful Bridge (cept both still won't open FIT files), LR, LR Classic, something called XD (dunno what that is), Premiere Rush (no idea what that is either) and Fresco (New Power for the paintbrush)

Yes, I pay £9.98 a month for full Photoshop CC along with the extras Terry mentioned above. I don't mind paying that as I use it for a lot more than astro stuff.

Mine includes the complete Adobe suite, especially Acrobat Pro which I use 20 times a day

Ouch!  £1600! Frankly I'm disgusted Action Fraud can't  do anything about it. What's the point of them? I can understand they can't do anything about your specific case maybe, but in general if the company are selling  something fraudulently shouldn't AF be doing something to get the company shut down or whatever. Are they still advertising?

The company I got mine from have dissapeared it seems.
