LightRoom 3 discount?
![WinsomeWorks](https://us.v-cdn.net/6029383/uploads/customavatars/34/navatar_33434.jpg)
My LR 3 trial period ends today, and I'm trying to spend as little as possible on the real version (duh). I thought we were able to get a Smug discount on it, but I'm not seeing it anywhere; only a SmugPro link to Adobe & the trial version. If that's not the case, any ideas for where to find it "cheap"? Off to check Amazon....

I just found the DVD boxed version on sale for $201 on this site: http://www.saveintheusa.com/product.asp?pf_id=65064073 (company is "Save in the USA") I don't have much expertise in buying software. Is there any reason to be wary of buying LR 3 from a company like this? I don't want to end up with some fraudulent copy.

Check Resellers Ratings......that can tell volumes about a company......also check WHoIs that can tell you how long they have been around and where the actual owner is most of the time...I check WhoIs thru godaddy....
1st registered in Sept of 03 and expires Sept 11....private registration....so not much there but it has been around for 8 years almost....read there faqs and return policies...
EDIT: ...went and took a loook they look and sound very respectable....http://www.resellerratings.com/store/SaveInTheUSA
Every once in a while Amazon will have a deal on LR3, if you're willing to wait.

Also a lot of times a person will go overboard on the negativity just because they are P.0'ed.
According to their about us they have been in business quite a long time as a brick and motar store.......pay with paypal of credit card so if you do get bit then you have a course to follow for recourse...........I get a decent vibe off their website.....
Good Luck

Save time.....send me $100 and I'll let you know right away that I have no intentions of sending you a valid copy of LR3!
Get real...there is no free lunch! (to OP)

Now...I hope you (try to) buy it.
Look at it this way...if it were true....it would be all over the net because people would be talking about it. Since this posting is the only place I ever heard of it.....you do the math.
Have you heard of one person who has bought it?

Anthony.
Somehow that doesn't surprise me.
When you do a search, for something like this, try limiting your time frame to the last month. It's in the left column on the google search page

The discount is available only when you purchase Lightroom 3 simultaneously with Photoshop CS5, Photoshop CS5 Extended, or a Creative Suite* containing Photoshop CS5 or Photoshop CS5 Extended. The discount will be reflected in the shopping cart just prior to checkout. Pricing is available only through the Adobe Store and certain select resellers. Education, OEM, and licensing customers are not eligible. This offer is valid worldwide. Offer valid from June 7, 2010 until December 31, 2011, and is subject to change without notice.
I tried putting it in a shopping cart to see what would happen and it asked me to pick a version of CS, but instead I added the offer code and continued on to check out, and that seems to work. I didn't actually buy it though because I already have it. So it's probably worth a try for someone who is looking for a discount. Maybe just calling the store instead of doing a web transaction would make it less complicated.-

I don't post here much, but after attending Scott Kelby's "Shoot it, Light it, Retouch it, Live!" seminar in Boston a couple weeks ago, I came out really jazzed about Lightroom (I've been using Bibble the past few years). This information was very timely for me, and I just purchased it this morning using this discount (using the website - I just typed the code into the box on the order form).
So thanks Dan for this information - you saved me a fair amount of money compared to the cheapest online price I could find from a vendor I trust... --Erik
Natural selection is responsible for every living thing that exists.
D3s, D500, D5300, and way more glass than the wife knows about.
Unlikely. Lightroom (and Aperture, Photoshop, etc.) run on a 18-24 month cycle between major versions, and 3 was released last summer.
However, dropping the price to get a mid-cycle sales boost is not unheard of. In addition, pressure from Apple's recent price reduction of Aperture *could* have an effect as well.
