Adobe has made Lightroom 4 available on Creative Cloud for subscribers to download now. Lightroom 4 normally runs $149 at retail or $79 for an upgrade from Lightroom 3.
If you are a Creative Cloud subscriber, however, Lightroom 4 is included in the package deal, along with all the other apps from Adobe Creative Suite CS6.
I signed up for Creative Cloud earlier this month. Being an existing Production Premium customer, I was able to get the introductory rate of $29.99 per month. I’ve installed a number of CS6 apps with zero hiccups thus far. If you aren’t an existing Creative Suite customer, you can still get Creative Cloud for $49.99 per month if you commit to a one year subscription.
Of course, I had already upgraded to Lightroom 4 and it is a solid update to an already fantastic RAW image processing application. If you’re on Creative Cloud already and you aren’t using Lightroom for your image processing, nothing is stopping you now. If you’re not on Creative Cloud, this is just the more incentive to pull the trigger.

There are a couple of ways to make sure you have the ability to justify text in your chosen format when working with the type tool in Photoshop. I can confirm that the following directions work in Photoshop CS5 and CS6. [click to continue…]
“This edition features all new screen shots, new and updated practical techniques, as well as a new chapter on video editing… It’s simply the most comprehensive yet conversational, Photoshop book on the market and I’m incredibly proud to have it available upon ship date of the software.”

Adobe Creative Cloud is now available for sign-up with full access to the Adobe CS6 Master Collection apps for members. The plans break down at $29.99 for existing CS3 or higher users, $49.99 for new users that commit to a 1-year membership, or $74.99 on a month-to-month basis.
