Student version of Lightroom 3 possible upgrade in future: If I buy Lightroom3 Student version now, will I still be able to use the regular upgrade when I'm no longer a student?

I purchased Photoshop several years ago as a student and have purchased an upgrade as a non-student. It all worked just fine. Unless Adobe has changed their policy, the "student pricing" is simply a price break for the student and not a "lite" version of their software.

I just opened my preset list and it does include both Photoshop and Lightroom. It's pretty much customizable to just about any App. i use it for Final Cut Pro X and HATE not using it now. All the major shortcuts right there for me. I highly suggest getting one.

Since I really dislike the printshop 3.0 I haven't really looked into buying another version. The old version I had (I think it was 6.0 but back in the 90's and it was GREAT but not compatible with my newer computer). 3.0 is a big waste of money as you can see from the reviews.

The download is the complete program.. you don't have to have a previous version installed to upgrade. You need the license for your old version however to be eligible to receive the 'crossgrade' license.

I don't think we can upgrade since those are customized. I think Amazon will only carry the two general versions, not built to order editions.

I bought Lightroom 5 as a DVD a couple months ago through Amazon. I hadn't heard that Adobe wasn't making them anymore. I have heard that companies want to go to Download only. I kind of like to have the DVD in my hand and if I'm not downloading something I'm not getting stuff I don't want, so far anyway. I just looked up Lightroom 5 on Amazon and I see there are DVD's available for around $110.00. I really like the program. I watched a lot of tutorials on You Tube and Adobe TV that have been a big help and I bought "Lightroom 5 book for digital photographers" by Scott Kelby for reference, also from Amazon. I'm happy.

Personally, I'm using Photoshop Extended CS4 Academic Edition, but you can be very confident that the full version of Bridge is included in CS5 Student Edition. Even if it isn't, you can probably get a copy for free; see below. Mini Bridge is an addition to CS5 products, not a replacement for the full Bridge application. Bridge through CS3 was pretty much useless. Bridge got beefed up in CS4, but many people thought it was cumbersome to have to switch between separate application windows for Photoshop and Bridge. In CS5, users have been given the option to use either full Bridge or Mini Bridge. My understanding is that Mini Bridge operates directly from the Photoshop application window. Adobe has never treated Bridge as an application that anyone would want to have separately from Photoshop. I haven't tried this with CS5, but in CS4 and earlier you could get Bridge for free by downloading the 30 day free trial for Photoshop. Bridge was included in the trial. Photoshop expired at the end of the 30 days, but Bridge remained fully functional indefinitely. I suspect that you could still do this if, for some bizarre reason, the full version of Bridge isn't included in CS5 Student Edition.

I believe you can just download the software BUT if something happens to your machine and you need to reload it on a new machine before the year is out, I think you'll be required to buy another license. I prefer to actually have the disc so I have options at a later date.

I do not know, but their website will tell you. I would guess they do not want students stuck at one release level. You should be able to upgrade at a reduced cost.

I bought Logic Pro 8 Academic to save $50, but then was told it was not eligible to upgrade to 9. Good question- what would happen if you tried? Nothing?Will never make that mistake again.

It should be able to be used with any program. I have not personally used photoshop or lightroom, so can't say. For photoshop, if that is online (web-based app now, I think), the keystrokes may be messed up if you have specific strokes for your web browser, but not sure how photoshop works.It is a great keyboard supplement but not replacement. I use it synergistically--but it is a great add on.

It's actually not an upgrade at all, but a complete software program. There is a new version 3 of Print Shop that sells for nearly $50 and I bought that when my old Print Shop wasn't compatible with Windows 7. V23 is great...very uncomplicated like the older versions of PS. Hope this helps.

When the first series Creative Suite came out, I upgraded from Photoshop to CS1. Great! What I didn't know is, I would never, ever, ever use Illustrator or the other programs. I ONLY used Photoshop. But I've been stuck because as you correctly point out, Wirtzy, you can't upgrade from a suites package back to a single program. My workaround (certainly not an option for many, many Photoshop users), is to swap downward for the latest Photoshop Elements and make much more use of Lightroom (which is an excellent photo editing program). I won't have a CMYK color palette and maybe there will come a day when that's a problem, but I use it so rarely that I just don't care to worry about it.

I can't answer that as I haven't ever owned the student version. I actually bought this version for my sister.

When ever you click download it will give you what ever the current version is. The company will give you updates to fix bugs or add or improve on features. This isn't a program where once you download it you're stuck with that version while newer customers are getting a better product. Everyone will have the same version no matter when they bought it. I highly recommend this program for any writers out there. Do not over think it just click that download program.

It would help load up Photoshop and Lightroom, but you won't see any great performance bumps in the processing of photos. (unless you're editing the same photos for extended periods of time). otherwise you'll be limited by the regular hard drive speed, processor, RAM, etc.
