Wedn: Paintshop PRO 2019 Ultimate for $40

One of the Wednesday Best Buy daily deals is the Windows version of the Paintshop PRO 2019 Ultimate software going for $40.

AS of the time of writing, Amazon has not price-matched it…

Meanwhile at the Woot website, “Electronics” features refurbished Pixel 3 smartphones (unlocked Verizon) for $550 to $600 (XL) with a 90-day Woot warranty… At “Computers”, it’s the refurbished Surface PRO 3 tablet bundle for $500 (12″, i5, 8GB, 256GB, Type Cover 3, 3rd-party Pen, 3rd party power supply, 90-day Woot warranty). There are many Surface models out nowadays, it’s a headache sorting things out if you are not intimately familiar with them, especially when you start factoring in the prices of accessories (covers, keyboards, pens, mice, cats, etc) and condition (new, open-box, manufacturer refurbished, 3rd-party refurbished, used, etc).

Dxo PhotoLAB 2 for $110

If you are a fan of the DxO software, they are running a Valentine’s promotion (in other words, it ends at the end of Valentine’s day, aka FEB-14), you can get the DXo PhotoLaB 2 software for $110 or the Elite version for $170…

Also part of the sale is the FilmPack 5 for $70 and the ViewPoint 3 for $70… The Elite editions of the aforementioned software cost more [as it is often the case with these type of things]…

EU: Elements 2019 for 50 euro (single) or 71 (both)

For EU photographers, if you are a fan of the Adobe Elements series, they have a sale at Amazon Germany on their Elements 2019 series. Individual Element titles (Photoshop or Premiere) go for 50 euro each, or you can get both together for ever and ever to part for 71 euro. These are the digital download options and may be restricted to Germany…

Friday (EU): 1-Year Creative Cloud Photography Plan for 85 euro

The Amazon Germany Gold Box is more active in terms of name-brands than the Amazon USA Gold Box, mayhaps because Amazon is not as dominant in Germany/EU as it in the USA, so they need to be more $competitive$ in order to attract more customers into their CULT Prime membership ^_^

Which brings us to the Friday daily deals at Amazon Germany which include a 1-Year Adobe Creative Cloud subscription of Photoshop CC and Lightroom for the one prepaid price of 85 euro for the first year (12 months of subscription).

In other action they offer:
