I think CS/CC still does stuff *I* use that LR doesn't (masking, layers with opacity adjustments, refined selections and all that comes with that) but much of what I used CS for is being done by LR plus ancillary programs (NIK software suite, PanoPlus, etc.). I'm taking a wait and see attitude before moving. But you are wrong, IMO Mark, to blame the users for not knowing what they're talking about. It is a very REAL increase in cost for those of us who don't make money at photography but are still very serious about our results. And I'll bet credits to navy beans the future pricing will not go down...
