Great feature. It needs a remove poles feature as well. I think the subscription for the Photography is fine (though I know a lot of people are not happy with it), wish they would add a vector plan at around the same price point for Illustrator though
I agree with you both. Yes, Adobe is very greedy (and rich). Nonetheless, it has offered some excellent products and the upgrades at zero increases to the fee are fantastic. Me? I use ACDSee Ultimate and Topaz Photo AI, having left Adobe some years ago.
well, there are indeed impressive new functions. But nevertheless I am glad I got away from all the Adobe apps since 2018, because I would not only be paying subscription costs, but I would pay with my bloody works too since Adobes licenses allow them to use our works to train their AI models and use them in any way they want - which consequently destroys my job opportunities as a designer and photographer.
@@designobservatory Adobe’s T&Cs was updated to clarify that it only uses content that is uploaded to Adobe Stock by the creator. In terms of cost, if I look at other models where you purchase a program, they generally require an upgrade to get new features which is net the same as the amount paid for subscriptions. Admittedly some will not bother upgrading and use software for many years, but you need to offset the cost of your time taking longer to do tasks v upgrade or subscription costs.
@@ernstfrohlich897 That's not strictly true. It's the bottom line of the customer that dictates how much they are willing to spend, if at all, and how specific their brief is. True blue artists in 1800's probably said, "This new fangled photography won't take work away from talented artists." Hell's bells anyone could then make a true likeness, albeit B&W, and in just a few minutes. Then photographers enjoyed decades of being King of the Pile. BUT, then along came the all singing all dancing Smart Phone. As a sports photographer, my sales plummeted to competitors in the event. Joe public can now shoot an image, manipulate it (if desired) and send it to a family member/friend in a matter of seconds. Dismiss AI as a new fangled "thing" at your peril.
I can't believe that people use laptops for Photoshop. You pay out good money for image processing software - then cripple it with a slow CPU, a bog basic GPU, low memory and a small screen. I'm also going to guess that your onboard storage is inadequate and you've got PS installed on your C drive which you're also using as a scratch disk. Your system isn't slow because of the AI requirements - it's your hardware.
I can’t believe that you make so many assumptions. I use a Mac laptop because I am a working press and editorial photographer. Filing images quickly is a requirement of the job. If I had to wait until I drove home to file my images then I would never sell anything. I reduce the onboard storage as much as I can, as you will have seen if you watched my video on backup strategy.
I usually edit my camera nef's in LR lying in my bed and I can tell you that it works very well. I5 32 gb Ips screen 14 inch HP. Object removing is done very fast ~ 20 sec
@@josdenis3684 I agree. As a daily workhorse it's fantastic. If you only use it occassionally it might be over-kill for you. But that doesn't make it crap.
Ok, Devil's Advocate here. The continuous subscription model may be greedy but it does have an even more important advantage to Adobe (and its users). It allows a firm to better-plan their developments, knowing they have a reasonably assured customer-base. It also gives them a constant cash-flow (and poor cash-flows kill businesses) to allow them to employ the right staff to undertake the continuous design innovation. Having both the right fees' structure and a regular flow of great innovations actually go hand-in-hand... I say though gritted teeth, as I don't like not owning the software (or to be more precise, a perpetual licence to use it without further cost but, then again, my software will become out-dated and I'll have to pay for an upgrade anyway. Hey-ho.)
Exactly how I felt when LR was +/- £20 p.m with a very inadequate storage allowance and a hefty bill to increase that. And no local storage! Short 'n curlies time! As a pensioner I just could not afford it. I've trundled on with LR6, the last of the buy-it/keep-it versions. BUT ... Now, at €13 p.m. [in FR] for LrC AND PS, 20Gb cloud storage but unlimited local storage and the amazing removal tool on LR - no need to open PS to do it - it is, frankly, a bargain. It is, as @brianjones5534 says, 'good value'. For once, I'm happy with what Adobe has done.

Great video despite some of the comments. Now they are asking did you use AI when submitting to Adobe Stock
great video, thanks richard!

I quite liked it with the people in the shot - way more interesting! 😎
That's personal preference, but it wouldn't have been any good for showing how the technology can work 😉

you must be a very bad designer and photographer.

@@designobservatory It's a fact that only bad designers and photographers can be replaced by software.

Yep. Crap as in rip-off. I wrote to Adobe many years ago and stated that their software engineers were excellent but the sales team were idiots.

Stuff Adobe's subscriptions.
£8.99 a month, surely that's good value. Constant updates, what more do you want?
@@brianjones5535 get rid of subscriptions, total con. maybe ok if your using it all the time, what about people who only use it say once a month
