Apple characterizes its new Creator Studio as a “groundbreaking collection” of powerful creative apps designed to deliver “studio-grade power into the hands of everyone.” As Apple explains, its Creative Studio collection caters to a wide range of users across iPhone, iPad, and Mac, including video editors, photographers, musicians, illustrators, and more.
Link very appreciated! I've been looking at FCP for a long time, not familiar with the other five apps.
I afford myself the original Photography Plan (cheap), and have considered jumping ship. I wonder if Apple has plans for extra-cost AI functions....
I wasn't in the Apple ecosystem back then, but they once had what many lauded as a very viable product in Aperture, but let it die on the vine as Adobe got more aggressive. Now, I switched to a Mac Studio as my digital photography platform, and use virtually the same Lightroom and Photoshop that I used in the PC world. While Adobe sat on their thumbs for a bit, IMO they have recently stepped up. Don't forsee myself switching anytime soon.
Likewise, a part of this package is Apple's program suite competing against MS Office. While I'm not in love with Office, it is the world standard office suite on both PC's and Mac's. Again, a very steep hill to climb, regardless of program quality.
A barge pole isn't long enough to push Apples "Creator Studio" away from my computer. Anyone remember Apple's software suite foray with iLife, iPhoto, Aperture, iWeb, iWorks etc? They have a history of dangling software with ooh's and ahh features only to abandon it down the road. No thanks!
If you are a dabbler then by all means go all in with the shiny new Creator Studio. If your demands on software require making money from your work, I'd suggest staying with what works for you now, can access archived files from a few decades ago and has every intention of being future proof.

I'm quite happy with Adobe CS. Nothing is missing, and Photoshop is a powerhouse. I don't care to learn a new software and UI.

This is my gut feeling after Aperture. Apple bought Pixelmator Pro a year ago, it's unfortunate to see it move from a $50 standalone app to being locked into this sub, but that's the way it goes.
I have no doubt that Apple will support Final Cut Pro until the day Apple goes out of business, but the rest? Count me out.
Pixelmator Pro will still be available to purchase as a standalone app.

Thanks for posting. I was not aware. So now we know what Apple plans to do with the Pixelmator acquisition. An interesting and unexpected development IMO.
