My astonishment at someone asking such a ridiculous question is only surpassed by my astonishment at people actually answering it.

My latest PSE came with my present PB computer. But I had paid for 2 previous versions directly.

Bought Lightroom 1 & Lightroom 3 on CD. My answer does not astonish me at all.

How about those who had to comment on their astonishment?  |

I had a friend who gave me her copy of CS2 when she started a new job and switched to a Mac. Later on that computer ate it so when I got a new one I picked up a copy of PSE8 when I noticed it on sale. Every now and again I'll take a random class at one of the colleges in the area and while attending I snagged LR2 at the student pricing. Fast forward a bit and I got an email from Adobe offering CS5 at a pretty steep discount($250 IIRC) so I jumped at the offer.

Lightroom is *not* overpriced for what it does.
It is probably the best software out there for anyone who uses a digital camera where files can accumulate at an astounding rate. With film, you can't shove a pile of big binders of negative out of the corner of your mind if you keep hitting your toes on them.
I paid for mine gladly, and since I married a black-belt coupon queen, I don't have to worry about full price either 
And lest you think I'm an adobe weenie, I also use darktable (1.0 is out, yo!) and GIMP. Each has its own strength. |

I refuse to answer this question on the grounds that it may incriminate me 
However, I do confess to kidnapping a hamster from Woolworth's over 50 years ago. Stuck him in my pocket, and he bit me as I was going out the store's front door. Herbie was a swell pal, but he was nocturnal. He had a cage with a squeaky hamster wheel (paid for w/ my allowance), and would run in it late at night. It never bothered me, but it dd my folks, so Herbie and his wheel were exiled to the back porch at night by my mom. Unfortunately, one night we had an unexpected cold spell and Herbie froze to death. I still haven't gotten over it. So, if you acquired your imaging software in a less than optimal manner, things could be worse. You could have been born into our family, where we excelled at stealing and murdering. |

When I was a kid, one of my cousins had a hamster that got eaten by her cat. The cat figured out how to unlatch the cage door! One day, he decided he wanted fresh meat for lunch, and that ended the hamster! |

By and large those are incompatible pets, a bit like cats and goldfish.

Spent 1300 bucks last year to upgrade from CS2 to CS5. Upgraded to the Master Collection. Then had to buy Lightroom as its a stand alone program, thanks Adobe.
I dont mind, the software has made me lots of money over the years so its money well spent.
Next up is to get the NIK plug-ins. I did the trial and they are great. Soon, very soon.
