Article Summary:

Photoshop trainer and author, Scott Kelby, has written an open letter to Adobe management protesting about a change to their upgrade policy which will come into effect with Creative Suite 6. Until now, registered owners of the previous three versions of the software have been eligible to upgrade to the newest at a discounted fee. However, beginning with CS6 the company will only allows owners of the previous version (in this case CS5 OR 5.5) to upgrade and owners of older versions will have to re-purchase CS6, rather than being able to upgrade to it.

Adobe are offering 20% off upgrades from CS2, 3 and 4 to CS 5.5 until 31 December, presumably to allow people to then upgrade into CS6 when it is released.
