Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
Mac users who like software purchases in digital download form can get Adobe’s Elements 14 Photoshop and Premiere bundle for $80 at Amazon, while PC users and those who prefer disc-by-mail get it for $80. This offer is open to all, not just Prime members.
PS: the earlier offer Photoshop Elements 14 for $40 for Prime members expired (I just tried it and the price won’t drop after you add it to the shopping cart).

Windows users have their very own deals too. The official Windows Store is offering a number of different digital items for $0.10 each (apps, movies, music, etc), including the KVADPhoto+ PRO app [link opens the Windows App store if it’s installed on your PC] by the KVADGroup. You can get to it with a web browser or by opening the Windows App Store on a Windows 10 device. The app supports the following processors: “x86, arm, x64” on PCs.
PS: if you want to see all the 10c apps and entertainment deals, here is a link that opens the Windows Store app directly to the page with all the sales. Other 10c apps include a couple of dictionaries, a couple of zip file utilities, an RSS reader, and more.

If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can get the Adobe Photoshop Elements 14 software for $40 in either the PC/Mac disc or the Digital Download. The price you see on the product page varies (it is $60 as of the time of writing). The price drops to $40 when you go deep into the Checkout page, one last step before you place the order. No coupon is needed for this one. There is a hint of this sale on the aforelinked page, the block that says “Prime Members Save More on This Product”.
When you reach the last step before finally placing an order, you should see something like this:
If the price total does not drop to $40, it means the offer ended or there’s something else wrong. Do not place an order if the price is higher (unless you want to buy it for more).
The offer is good for both the disc and the download. Sales tax collection may differ depending on delivery method and state.
Five different DxO software titles are on sale at B&H Photo, these are software to be delivered by mail, not digital downloads. They are Optics Pro 10 Essentials for $65 or Elite for $100; DxO ViewPoint 2 for $40; DxO FilmPack 5 Essential for $40 or Elite for $65. (I round the prices for readability and typeability).
The $80 combo daily deal expired, however…
… if you are a Prime member, and you only need Photoshop Elements 14 (without Premiere Elements 14), the $40 promotion after you proceed to checkout is still good! See earlier post for details… This is an on-going offer, an expiration date is not mentioned…
If you happen to want the Panasonic 25mm f1.7 micro four thirds prime lens and you are also curious to try Corel’s AfterShot Pro 2 and Paintshop Pro X7, Adorama has a nice Panasonic 25mm f1.7 bundle for $200 plus shipping (the lowest shipping price is under $10, YMMV by zipcode). For that you get the standard 25mm f1.7 lens kit, along with the Corel Creativity Software kit (Aftershot Pro 2, Paintshop Pro X7, FileCenter, Omnipage), along with the Pro Optic 46mm Digital Essentials Filter Kit, a lens cap tether, a lens wrap, and the obligatory cleaning kit.
The Corel Store has a new round of sales of their software. The sale includes the Aftershot Pro 2 for $50 full version or $39 as a qualifying upgrade. Meanwhile the AfterShot 2 (not Pro) goes for $25 in the full version. You can make adjustments in the shopping cart for different options (disc backup, cloud backup, etc).
The aforelinked Corel Store offers free 30-day trials of their software and apparently Amazon has also expanded into software free trials, eg AfterShot Pro 2. I haven’t done one of the Amazon Free Trials yet, so I can’t tell you what the free-trial-flow is.
UPDATE (11/1/15): The price of the PC/Mac Disc option has increased to $100, however the Prime-only promotion continues, so when you add it to the shopping cart, as a logged-in Prime member, the discount is -$60, bringing it back down to $40.
The Digital Download options remain at $70 and they also drop to $40 after you add them to the shopping cart as a logged-in Prime member…
Previous updates after the break…
It doesn’t typically take long for the latest Elements software to get into the discounting round. Right now, the Adobe Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 14 combination is on sale for $90 at Amazon as either digital download or physical media by mail… On the other hand, if you don’t need Premiere at all, Photoshop Elements 14 on its own goes for $63~ in download or by mail…
UPDATE: it is also offered at this price, in the delivered-by-mail option by Buy.com (Rakuten) on eBay (limit 5).
If you are fond of mail-in rebates and lots of Canon gear and accessories, Adorama has a Canon SL1 bundle. You pay $800 at checkout, receive the order, make sure all is well, submit the mail-in rebate per the instructions (PDF), and if all is well, a few weeks later, you receive a $350 prepaid American Express gift card by mail. For that, you get:
Adobe’s so dominant in imaging software, one can easily forget that there are many other companies making all kinds of digital imaging software. I am trying to make a conscious effort to also mention them here, but if I forget, please feel free to e-yell at me.
Which brings us to the digital download version of NewBlueFX Filters 3 Ultimate by NewBlueFX on sale for $265~ by B&H Photo. This supports Windows and OS X. The download code will be sent 1-3 business days after your order is placed.

Speaking of Dxo, their DXo One 20mp camera for iOS devices is now in-stock and shipping for $600 from multiple retailers including Amazon and B&H Photo and Adorama and various on eBay (Buydig, NewEgg, Focus, etc).
We have both an announcement and an in-stock alert at the same time. It is Fall, and this means a new version of Adobe’s Elements software. We are now up to version 14. As usual, they start at early adopter prices ($100 in this case), and as time goes by, discounting begins. So this is for the early adopters. They are available in either boxed software by mail or digital downloads (Mac or PC). They are ready to go for $100 each at Amazon (your choice of box or download): Photoshop Elements 14 and Premiere Elements 14.
Stacksocial is back with another Mac Mega Software Bundle. You pay $30 and you receive (digital downloads) of 15 different Mac software packages. Of photography interest, the bundle includes HDR Darkroom 3 by Everimaging, Deep Dreamer by Realmac, and 1 year subscription to Pixlr Pro. Of degrees of separation interest, Disk Drill Pro, 3yr Spotdox subscription, Macbooster 2 Std, Commander One PRO, etc. All sales are final. These are digital downloads, available right after purchasing. Limit five bundles per customer (one bundle includes all 15 software packages). Ends in about seven days from today.
We start another burst of posts (from here upwards, since they are posted in reverse chronological order). This one is of the YMMV variety, American Express Offers. This can be found when you logon to your AMEX account. Not everyone gets the same offers, so there is a YMMV element to it. Their system probably has some kind of “targeting” algorithm to decide who to offer it to (or may just randomness). Regardless, there’s an Adobe offer, you spend $10 or more at Adobe.com in a single transaction (excludes merchandise, phone orders) and you get a $10 statement credit. Limit one per customer. Expires 10/30/15 if not used.

If you qualify per Adobe’s guidelines for their Student and Teacher editions (remember, what common sense may suggest qualifies may not – make sure you check the prerequisites if you are not familiar with – there is a link in the linked-to page later in this post), you can purchase a one year subscription of their Creative Cloud (Student and Teacher edition) for $190 at B&H Photo. This is the full Creative Cloud, not just the Photography plan. Also required a US billing address at registration. You pay $190 at checkout and a few hours later you receive an email.

Splash, into me! If Dave Matthews was doing camera instead of yogurt covers of their own songs, this may have been what they used for waterproof cameras. With that unnecessary sentence out of the way, Adorama has Panasonic TS6 waterproof bundles for $278 with free shipping and a boatload of extras: 16GB Toshiba SD card, Lowepro case, Vivitar floating strap, cleaning kit, and more important perhaps of all, the Corel Digital Organization Creativity Software Kit which includes the AfterShot Pro 2 and Paintshop Pro X7 software (along with a couple of other titles, FileCenter, OmniPage). No coupons, no rebates, just add the thing to the shopping cart and checkout.
TIP: look for the aforementioned bundles in the long list of 20 options there. This offer is currently available in black or orange or blue or cameo (camouflage).
For the TL;DR crowd, the aforementioned bundles look like this in the search results (note the tiny little software boxes in the annotated screenshot below):
The Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 software is currently on sale for $55 with free shipping/delivery at B&H Photo (disc or download) and Amazon itself (limit 3, PC/Mac disc only).
The Corel Store is offering the Aftershot 2 software for $27, and the Aftershot 2 Pro software for $55. You also get two free software titles, good old Winzip and the Fastflick Slideshow Maker. All these are digital downloads. Optionally you can order a backup DVD through the shopping cart for an extra $10 with free shipping.
NOTE: when you add software to cart, the shopping cart may automatically add a “download insurance” service for $8 more. If you don’t want that, just click on the grey “x” in its ledger line in the shopping cart to get rid of it.
