Cats suck. if there's one thing I'd like to do with a Time Machine (TM), it's find whoever thought it was a good idea to domesticate them, and make very sure that it never happened.Those cats are adorable! Can I buy those on the app store?
Pixelmator is more a PSE competitor than a PS:CS5 competitor.Adobe must make sure they have a foot in the marketplace so Pixelmator doesnt steal the consumer market, but on the pro side they have nothing to worry about.. And that's where they make their real money I suspect.
Pixelmator is a million miles from PS:CS5.. And it wouldn't work in it's favour to have all of CS5's features - they aren't exactly the same audience.
Not arguing with you, but what's the percentage of a boxed copy of Elements would Adobe get once the retailer and distributor have taken their cut?
I'm glad that Adobe appear to have put some thought into this - producing a new version without the organizer bit instead of just releasing the standard version. The last thing we need is yet another photo organizer. The integration with iPhoto/Aperture is sweet.
Bit expensive though.

My point is that you can get the "full" version of Elements for at least the same price *and* it comes with a backup, which although we might sit around here and think quaint, can actually save you download time (not to mention save those who have download quotas). Why would I buy the App Store version if I get more (software and disc) with the boxed version? Either I am ignorant of the latter or foolish in negating a benefit for myself. And if you must obediently follow Apple's ideology and business model at every turn, no matter what the cost to yourself, then you are certainly foolishly.
I don't see how, one key advantage of buying from the app store is that once purchased, apps can be legitimately installed on all of your macs
I believe Adobe allows at least a secondary copy. In any case, I've never had a problem installing or using Elements on any of my computers over the years.
P.S. I think the Mac App Store is a good thing, but I won't limit my options just because Apple wants me to.

Biggest issue with app Store
It that when you proce compare, a lot of the titles available can be gotten for less elswhere.
Some are fofered on the dev web site. Others through promos liek Maczot or Macupdatepromo packages. Some at Amazon or other big box stores.
Yes, digital convenience and immediate gratification are noce, but with Amazon Prime, I can have it in 48 hours.
Hard to justify $80 versus $30 or even $70.
I love the Mac App Store, but I feel it has to find a way other than convenience to become more competetive.
There are some great bargains on the store, just Elements is not one of them, although it is a very handy and useful application. Plus there are a plethora of other Mac image editing packages for less that do virtually the same thing. While not Adobe, they are all very good. Perhaps we should supoort the little Mac Dev before the juggernaut of Adobe unless you have a real pressing need for Adobe work flow preservation.

You were responding to sarcasm.
Adobe gets far, far more exposure this way. It's already been proven that App Stores concentrate apps in one simple place, and everyone goes there. This is actually *good* for developers.

You're ignorance is incredible. With MAS many developers are reaching big audience without loosing money cause packaging, distribution, servers costs. THE YARE GETTING THE MONEY DIRECTLY MORE THAN BEFORE. Yes i know many devs.
People like you make me sick.
Apple will never lock OS X, but even if it does, MAS will be full of software and if you need something strange you will be able for sure in a way or another to install third party software.
Wow, what a scoop! 9to5Mac doesn't have this. They just have a bunch of boring stuff about new Apple computer products supposedly rolling out here in a few minutes, but nothing about insignificant distribution shifts by aging software behemoths.
Really, people like him make you sick? Why? Because he has a different opinion than you on software distribution channels? Seriously? I think you need a little perspective. And stop insulting people online since you don't have the guts to do it face-to-face.
Ooooh - is there a story here? What did Adobe do? All I know is Steve Jobs hates them, no idea why.
Probably because Adobe's software is more professional, feature-complete and simply better than Apple's competing products. And Adobe's software runs on Windows, too, and most of the time even better and faster than on the Mac, which is unforgivable.
Pixelmator

Is this because Pixelmator 2.0 is right around the corner?

Without CMYK support, Pixelmator is still a "lite" editor. How can anyone work with printed materials without even basic CMYK support?
I use Pixelmator as my daily editor and love it, but seriously Pixelmator. CMYK.
*I also see that PSE cannot export CMYK. Guess Pixelmator is still a great deal*

*The current theory is that cats domesticated themselves...the only animal thought to do that. Pretty clever if you ask me. Early civilizations built granaries. Granaries attracted vermin. Vermin attracted cats. Early civilizations thought cats were useful enough to keep around.
It's always a possibility that Apple could partner with the big boys and offer different pricing structures. But that would lead to cries of "...that's not fair..." which would attract the feds with charges of collusion. So maybe not probable.
