I am in agreement with all details of all the other posts on this topic; sorry guys but you have really dumbed-down what used to be an excellent magazine.
You have reduced the number of pages (kept the price the same, I see!), filled what is left with more pics than content (although it was heading that way previously, with a two page spread to introduce a 'major' topic, only to give sparse information overleaf).
You used to provide an interesting sample of software on the cover disc; yeah, I know a lot of which I never used, but there were some gems. You used to make fuss of how great the offerings were...only to say in your first new format issue that "other mags offer outdated software on cover discs"...how soon you change face !!
If your new USP is a tutorial disc - hmm, might work, but only for your new less-informed audience.
Also...the first "new" issue rehashed topics from the previous issue on video formats. Why ?
Colourful, yes; informative and interesting...no longer. So I have cancelled my online subscription and moved to a different (any!) magazine for the remainder of the year.
I wish you the best of luck, but I'm....Leaving.
