Email from Adobe; upgrade from Elements to CS4...

That link didn't work for me....just led to a grey screen??? Is it still active?

EDIT: Oops...scratch that! It was just taking an age to load!

EDIT number 2: Hmmm....is this available to US only customers?

EDIT number 3: Darn! just found this in the T&C's:

And the price for same upgrade in UK?? £477.25!!!

And if you are a NAPP member request an Adobe discount code and get another 15% off. CS4 for $254

Very cool. That's the sign of a good company. They didn't have to do that for you, but they did anyway.

Just like when they bought out RawShooter.When LR came out. They gave it for free if you had purchased RawShooter in a specified time frame prior to their purchase of it. This free version was also good on future upgrade pricing. I got LR2 for $84.00

My question, which I asked in a new post, is whether CS4 really offers anything worth the $299 that is not in PSE which I use less and less.

To me, content aware scaling was the ENTIRE reason why I upgraded to CS4. Anything else I am getting (like RAW opening of jpegs etc.) is just a side bonus.

Has anyone tried this? Also, do you think bridge is included?

I love my Wacom tablet! Is there a lot more available with CS4 versus Elements?

Its hard to explain the difference because it is HUGE !!

Yes, I purchased CS4 yesterday using my NAPP discount. It is the full CS4 package including bridge. I downloaded it and everything worked perfect. I did have to update ACR to 5.2 tho.

Here is a video that explains content aware scaling:

Very tempting, just to be able to get a 64bit version of photoshop. Still hesitant though, because I hardly use photoshop, maybe around 5 to 10% of the time, everything else in lightroom. Still it's very tempting.

Pulling up that website, does it say available until April 30? Am i reading that right?

Sorry to revive this dead thread, but wanted to know if there are currently any Elements to CS4 upgrade paths available besides the $599 one on the Adobe site?
