Windows: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/889249-REG/A...

Including shipping, tax and duties it's $564.83, that £360ish in real money, both full versions as far as i can tell.

If anyone wants a cheap but legitimate copy of LR4, let me know!

Guess my initial thoughts would be to question if there were registration issues with buying US software to use in the UK?


Anyone know the Adobe rules on that?

Shame the Adorama one was Windows only.

The B&H one comes with Scott Kelby DVDs too, look forward to getting it.

If you know somebody at school or college the Photoshop CS6 Extended version is £190 and LR4 is £60 through the Adobe website.

Indeed but since technically you've not got a proper licence (the licence is for the student or teacher) you're not really any better than using a pirated copy, you're just paying for the privilege of an unlicenced copy.

Hardly a crime if it's your kids or somebody in the same house. If your brother had a copy would you refuse to use it because it's not your licence?
They also limit you to one product in a 12 month period.

No but like I say you're not licenced. If I wanted unlicenced software I'd rather just download a pirate copy and save the £190. As it is I need CS for my photography and at the price I posted it is cheap enough.

Ah well, as you like. I hope you don't let anybody use it in case the licensing police come knocking.
For the record, I have the student version and also, for the record, I'm a registered student so no issues on that front.

It's just over a year since I shelled out for CS5. What has CS6 got that CS5 hasn't, is it a must have for photo touching or is there no noticeable difference?

Try changing the ...6W in the URL to 6M and see what happens.

Slightly off topic, but only a little.

Can anybody tell me if I can use CS6 Design Standard on more than one Mac? I know you can under normal circumstances but I may differ slightly as I started wiCS4 'borrowed' version of CS4 that was a student copy which was bought by a friend and used on his MBP and I also used it on an iMac at the same time for a year or so. I then upgraded it to CS5.5 last year and am currently using it my iMac only and my friend is still using the original CS4. I now want to upgrade to CS6 and am happy to pay the upgrade price again but now want to use it both on my existing iMac and also on a new MBP that I am about to buy.

So the question is can I do this even though the original CS4 is still being used on my friends MBP? As I really don't want to buy an upgrade and another full price version.

I hope I have explained that clearly enough.

Well i got my CS6 and LR4 delivered today (finally!), I was slightly worried to find an ONLY FOR DISTRIBUTION IN NORTH AMERICA sticker on it, but have installed and registered it and all appears to be fine!

Once the LR4 is sold (surplus to requirements, already had it) this will have been a major bargain!
