If you’re any kind of photography enthusiast chances are you’ve either used Photoshop and most likely have it in your arsenal of photograph manipulating tools. You’re also most likely aware of the fact that Adobe’s Creative Suite has largely become the de facto software bundle for creative minds across the board – a point photographers, videographers, graphic designers, web designers and the like will surely agree on.

While Creative Suite 6 is on its way, many are still running earlier versions with no desire to upgrade. Considering the fact that upgrading costs several hundred dollars for features that may not benefit your normal work flow, this isn’t much of a surprise. Regardless of whether or not you plan on upgrading, the option to upgrade is always nice. Unfortunately Adobe recently changed their pricing scheme canning the discounted upgrade price in the process for those who don’t currently own the latest Creative Suite release.

Unsurprisingly, this caused quite an uproar within the community as Adobe hasn’t done such a thing in the past. Luckily, Adobe has listened to the cries of community members changing their plans today and announcing that Adobe Creative Suite 3 and 4 owners will be able to upgrade to Creative Suite 6 for the discounted price through December 31st, 2012.

Of course, when exactly Creative Suite 6 will be out is anyone’s guess but the company has said they are planning yearly releases so it should be right around the corner. Stay tuned.
