Well I said it is priced for people that can afford it and are willing to pay for it. I know artist will pay thousands for a single brush.

That's irrelevant.
Since software can be duplicated an infinite number of times at virtually no cost, all that matters is how much you can get away with charging for it in order to maximize the number of paying customers.
Clearly, the high price of Photoshop is not enough of a deterrent to hurt Adobe's finances, so it must be worth the price to those who are paying. |
It must have hurt it somewhat or else they would have never came out with Elements. They were trying to do something to seem the tide of pirated software. |
They were trying to tap a more budget-conscious, hobbyist demographic. That's a good business strategy. They haven't dropped the price of PS itself, have they?
