Customer Reviews
With that out of the way, I'm very much enjoying the upgrades with LR4. I love the additional sliders in developer mode, it really does help me bring out a wider dynamic range. I probably won't use the book function, but whatever. I'm disappointed that they dropped Windows XP support (you can't even install it on an XP computer). My school forces us to use XP on our laptops, and I know a lot of businesses are the same way, so that really sucks.
Anyway, at $79 this is a steal. Adobe -- I'll be honest, this is the first product I've bought from you, and it's because of the aggressive price cut. I'm just an prosumer/hobby photographer, and I'm a student, so I can't afford a $150 program or a $1000+ suite of programs. I'm very happy that you made the price more reasonable for someone like me, and so I showed my support by ordering it as soon as it became available. It was a no brainer at this price. I hope you continue to target my market with these kinds of deals. I can't wait to see what CS6 has to offer.
Thanks for the review and describing the process. Following directions and using your qualified school's issued email address is the best way to go to simplify and expedite the process.

I know there have been some sore reviewers looking to badmouth the Student & Teacher editions of this software. Those reviewers are looking to get the discount on price without actually being a student or teacher. I would like to share my experience with this purchase to further clarify some possible ambiguities in other reviews.
This is the first program I have bought from Adobe that is a Student & Teacher Edition. After purchase through Amazon, you are warned that you will have to confirm you are enrolled in school in some way, be it an ID or semester grades, a bill from your college or university, or just simply your school email.
After Adobe Lightroom 4 was shipped to me, it said to go to a certain adobe website and enter the serial number in the box to start the verification process. I filled in the boxes on the website with the supplied serial number and my personal information. It does say on the webpage that you should have the appropriate documents on hand during the online process to upload in a JPEG or PDF format to verify your eligibility if need be. The website also stated that supplying your school email would expedite the process. For me, it was as simple as following these steps and entering my school email to instantaneously have the necessary product serial number emailed to me. This serial number is the one you need to actually install and start the program or upgrade from a trial, not the one that comes with the box.
JUST TO CLARIFY
I followed the steps in the Adobe Lightroom 4 package shipped to me
Entered the serial number on their website
Entered my personal info (Name, Address, College/Univeristy info)
Entered my College/University email
and I was done, I activated LR4 using the serial number emailed to me right after completing those online forms. This process could not be any easier! I did not even have to upload a bill or ID from the college, I just gave them my school email and I had the serial number.
I will definitely not hesitate to buy more Student & Teacher edition programs from Adobe!
