Then factor in the $99.00 that are necessary about each year to update... Or simply go the subscription route for CO, it's only $15/month...
So, just for fun, and assuming that one intends to run current versions of software...
Over five years, assuming that pricing remains the same on both platforms ($9.99/month for Adobe and $299 purchase + $99/year upgrades for C1.) (NB: If anyone wants to argue that the price could change, that is equally true of both options, so let's leave it out of the equation for now.)
- - -
Adobe Lightroom + Photoshop
$9.99/month X 60 months = $599.40
- - -
Capture One
$299 purchase = (4 x $99) upgrades = $695
- - -
Let's say you only upgrade Capture One every other year:
$299 + (2x$99) = $497
- - -
This excludes the following "costs."
- the time to learn a new application
- any time required for file conversion or reworking
- any functional costs of going longer between updates.
- One application (C1) versus suite (LR, PS, ACR, Bridge)
Choose your poison. ;-)
