Question from Kelly: “Is it worth upgrading Photoshop/Lightroom every time a new version comes out?”

Suz:  Not for every single one lol every other one I usually do tho

Shelby: I upgrade every 2 years

Leslie:  Great question I just upgraded to Lightroom 4 and miss miss miss my bp4u presets!!!! Hint hint 😉 any chance of the next 90% off sale Lightroom 4 raw presets ?!?!?!

David:  The upgrade cost increases for each version you’re behind, so I upgrade whenever a new one hits because even if that one isn’t spectacular I’m sure I’d want the following and would be paying same in the end anyway. I use production premium suite though, so the package cost works in my favor.

Kelly: Thanks for the input 🙂

Matt: It all depends on user preference. If the new features aren’t your cup if tea, the answer is no.

Christy: Best place to learn to use Photoshop?

Jan:  I have a good saying and it works for All aspects of my life.don’t fix if its not broken or if it works well don’t change it.
