On May 6th, Adobe introduced a substantial change to the way we sell our traditional desktop products. The feedback on this change has been diverse and plentiful. Please understand that we’ve been working hard to digest all of the comments you’ve provided and we’re working hard to understand how we can address your concerns while still maintaining our focus on the future of creative software. A few of the key concerns revolve around the following topics outlined in the:. File access.

Customers want to be sure that, if their membership to Creative Cloud lapses, they will still have access to their files. With regards to file access, Adobe completely agrees that customers should have access to their files if they choose to stop their Creative Cloud membership.

I have to say that Adobe you just became as arrogant as both Quark and Apple. No one talks about Quark anymore and Apple is losing market share so fast that the Apple logo will be an Apple core in the next two years. The adobe arrogance has seen products like Serif and Corel take huge profits of late and it only serves that their software is going to get better and better that soon there will be no difference between the different platforms. Take into account the amount of customers Adobe has now lost and watch how pricey it becomes for current CC subscribers – they will have to make up the shortfall in profits.

Then it’s bye bye for Adobe, the same way Apple is going. What they failed to see was that many students (millions actually) cannot afford the software and go to cheaper alternatives – these are the same people that will one day be designing the next generation of software.

Piss them off at your own peril. You should have kept it the same way.My advice would have been this:Continue to make the Creative Suite but instead of bringing out updated versions – sell the updates in an Adobe store like add-ons.

If you want, lets say ‘the new sharpening tool’ – allow customers to go on to the Adobe store and purchase it as an add on to their version of Photoshop or Illustrator etc. Allow the users to pick and choose which add ons they would like installed on their machines. Adobe would do a roaring trade on this and it’s more user friendly. Take photographers for example, they need industry specific tools for their job but they had to buy the whole package like the rest of us.

Have add-ons for them, have add on for web designers etc. Make the software more flexible. There is so much potential there and it would allow Adobe to lower the overall price of individual products like Photoshop and then make money on the parts people want to buy. It’s not that hard to have a store that sells Photoshop parts to download. Also it would increase the sales for Adobe and make it more accessible to everyone. It would increase market share for the company overall.I hope someone from Adobe is reading this post as i would love to see this happen and would remain loyal to Adobe. I have spoken to many designer friends and they have all expressed a massive interest in this business model.

They would love to have the freedom to be able to choose what they actually need instead of getting bloatware or having to get a subscription. Many are freelance and afraid of how this new stance by Adobe has affected their financial outlay. Some say it’s cheaper but these people might not upgrade to the new suites like many people didn’t from CS2. They have all said though, given the choice, they would opt for the ‘add-on’ approach every time. If you look at it sensibly, Adobe would make more in the long run but retain the customer base. It would also be a massive cull on the illegal downloaders as the software would be within their reach to buy and adapt it the way they need to – because lets face it, the only reason most download illegally is because a majority can’t afford the software int he first place. The remainder are just in it to be greedy or take a swipe at authority.I would love to hear some feedback from my post and speak to other like-minded people about this maybe it’s something we could get together as a community and approach Adobe with.

I highly disagree with the idea of taking the softwares apart and offering feature updates like an improved sharpening tool for Ps as a costly add-on. I want the FULL Photoshop experience for a fixed price and I think getting rid of the whole “Ps Extended” thing was a great step in the right direction. I don’t want to end up spending a fortune to “decripple” a Photoshop that wouldn’t get free feature updates otherwise. We’ve seen it all in the Apple store where you can download lost of cheap apps, but even adding the most basic features will cost you extra.It would be a nightmare if Adobe software was going to follow that business model!But that being said, I do agree in that the all-or-nothing approach of CC is misguided and the best would be to have a more customizable package where you can basically create you own creative suite set.

So for example if I need Ps, Pr and Id but for example no AE, not Ai and no Dw, then I don’t see why I should pay 50 bucks a month just as someone else who is using all CC apps, while I’m only using less than half of the suite.There should be a flexible system where you can add and remove softwares from your suite any time and the pricing will change accordingly. I follow the same direction as others on “renting” my photoshop. The whole idea sucks. I feel that I am now unable to keep my CS5 Creative Suite current. That is unless I buy into the CC version. I do not want to have to worry each month about being sure my photoshop is paid for. I am a full time student, I am also on a fixed income.

One bad month and my photoshop is unavailable. As an artist/photographer that interferes tremendously with my ability to earn any money if I AM having a bad month. It risks as well as threatens any advanced for those who do not have the extra cash laying around every single month. The whole idea is horrible – and very controlling on Adobe’s part. I too want to own my software not rent it. It is the same to me as buying a house if I wanted to live in a rent house I would. I understand Adobe wanting to make money we all do, with this bad economy we all have to tighten our belts so I really though about the upgrade to CS6 before I did it.

I have always upgraded to the newest version, never missed a beat. I will not be upgrading to the cloud though.

I have used photoshop since photoshop 7 I don’t know how many years that is but at least since 2001-2002. I will be looking at a different software if we the people who buy the software are not offered the updates like the cloud people are. I am very disappointed in the new crop tool it has slowed down my workflow 10 fold, some of my own developed actions will not run with a hot key or function key which slowed me down even more. I think for you to hold your base you will need to rethink this cloud thing, I am a photographer that works in photoshop daily and you have blown a large hole in my work flow. I love Adobe products. For me it is Photoshop, Lightroom, In Design what i need.

I own Photoshop from very first version. I upgraded always to new versions.But I want to own my software, to be free to use whenever I want to, need to. I am freelancer, I work from home, not every day, but I love to create just for art, just for meand cannot possibly think about renting the software in dry months when there is no or little work.I always updated, and was proud of being an owner of Photoshop. Cannot be proud of being a renter only.Adobe, can you come back to people and let them choose, instead of forcing them to rent?So far there is a lot of anger towards this new policy.If we would turn this aroundwould Adobe want to rent customers? Adobe pay customers for them to want the products?

Hi Sharon, I don’t see any registered versions of Photoshop under your Adobe ID (only an old student version of Acrobat).You are welcome to purchase Photoshop CS6 using the old pricing model at $699/$999 from here:But consider this: at that price you can have the Photoshop Photography Program @ $9.99/mo for close to 6/8.5 years:The Creative Cloud Photography Plan includes Photoshop CC, Lightroom, Lightroom mobile, and get all the product updates/upgrades (e.g. Photoshop 2014, 2015, 2016, etc & Lightroom 6, LR7, LR8, LR9, etc) for OS compatibility and support during that time. With the old model, you’d have to pay extra for upgrades in that same time period.One of the reasons for moving to this model is to make sure customers can keep up with the fast changing technology landscape where Apple and Microsoft are updating OSes every 12 months and introducing new hardware and devices at a faster and faster rate.Hope that helps. I could not agree more. The core idea of CC is brilliant, and a milestone in the way we use creative software.

Its the pride of Adobe! However it is stained by a pricing and choice strategy that is totally rigid and suits maybe 5% of adobe users.Your brilliant strategy to get monthly revenue has backfired – you wanted too much too quickly – your all or nothing pricing is the fly in our soup.I want to see packages for 1 app, 2 apps up to the full mounty.And to be honest, i dont understand your pricing. 25 euros for a single app is expensive, driving away the low end market, and 61 for the entire suite? Thats too cheap.

As i see it, not many people use ALL the apps. I am sure you know what your customers are doing?Adapt your strategy to the market! There is a huge market for your products that you are closing the doors on!There are 26 apps if im not mistake, and i probably am – but that is beside the point. There are alot more of them, and i personaly would charge alot more than 61 for ALL of them.Diversify!Please Adobe! While I’m not happy at the prospect of “renting” software, I have to disagree that your model works for the company. You’re going at this from a “what’s best for the customer” angle, whereas the company must look at it from a “what’s best for the company and shareholders” angle. Your idea sounds plausible to customers because we’re all for anything that benefits us.

However, much like having to buy a whole CD in the 90s of crappy songs to get that one song you really like, if Adobe left it up to us to just pick whichever features we wanted to buy, they’d lose money. I haven’t used the pen tool at ALL for the last 3 versions, but Adobe got my money anyway. If they left it up to me, I wouldn’t have purchased the pen tool feature, so they would NOT have gotten my money for it. Theirs is a dated model for sure (look what happened to CDs now), but it works from a company standpoint.This CC model, much as I hate it, makes sense for Adobe to earn higher revenue over the life of their products.

They lose money on people who “homestead” on one particular version and don’t upgrade for two or three versions. Expect for other developers to follow suit once they see how much revenue CC generates for Adobe.

@Lance TaylorFrom.Adobe’s. perspective they lose money when people “homestead,” however the “homesteading” issue means that Adobe isn’t doing enough to improve product quality or features enough to entice people to upgrade.

Adobe CC is just a racket to ensure that they.don’t. have to do anything to keep their income stream flowing.The biggest CC issue for me as a business owner is that when Adobe introduces bugs, as they ultimately will, we won’t have previous “owned” versions to revert to as we currently do. A bug where ID CS6 rewrites URLs so that some hyperlinks don’t work was documented and complained about for the entire CS6 lifecycle until it was fixed last month. So I’ve had to use ID CS5 for these documents (and I’m glad that I had that option). Years from now, it won’t be possible to backsave into CS6 if Adobe’s features are rich enough that they won’t port backwards. To me Adobe CC represents real business risk and we’ll use CS6 as long as we can and then re-assess non-Adobe products such as Quark.

@Garry ClaytonI just read your piece and I think you have a great idea there! That’s one route Adobe could do; offer upgrades as paid downloads and add them to the existing copy you own. Make them compatible with what ever version you currently own. If a person would like to have let’s say CS6, make it as a downloadable if you don’t want to produce DVD hard copies for a reasonable price since they cut back on physical hard copies which costs money to produce, they can dedicate to make a web store alternative like Apple.What you said about Apple is true, maybe they’re starting to get arrogant, but at least they let you choose and if you don’t like you can by pass them completely. But Adobe has their foot on every artists neck, since they are the standard.

Yes competition may start to heat up and that’s a good thing for everyone. For now at least, until they otherwise change their strategy, Adobe will not get a dime from me.Jose. I think it will be a big problem to the way companies work with other artists if they enable an option like ‘tool upgrading’.

Cause what do you think will happen if you are in discussion with an art director or whoever from another company/customer, “please send me your file” and not everybody makes it flat, that person doesn’t have the tool installed for example with an advanced text tool, and you’ll get a different result on his screen or “can not open” cause of the tool version difference.Imho i think a membership for the software is not such a bad idea for those who upgrade every 2 years like most professionals do. I calculated the difference between membership and buying a new DVD install every 2 years, and for me, it actually comes around the same pricing. Assuming Adobe will still supply new CS packets every 2 years.Only thing i still am not sure about is the opening files after canceling your subscription. I’ve read different things and am not clear if you can never open your files on for example a local installation or trial or whatever? I would always keep my files on local NAS storage to always keep my files personal. I recently retired from the military and was going to actually going to buy what I consider very expensive software for a amateur / hobbies point of view.

In the past I have always used adobe trials but turned to less expensive programs when it came time to purchase. I now have the time to commit to my photos, videos and web site but I can never see spending that amount of money on something I will not even own. Software should not be treated as a magazine subscription it just doesn’t make sense. When I go to buy a car Ford doesn’t say you must buy all 18 cars in our lineup or nothing, we know you can’t use them all so at the end of the year give them all back and oh buy the way you need to send us $500 a month until next year we will raise the price! You know cost of living look at all the improvements this year it will be 750 a monthit’s just ridicules.

Yes, not having a physical hard copy of SOMETHING YOU PAY FOR is not fair. I agree with your comments Apple is going to be nothing less than a core if they keep up this rule.I am no longer opting to update anything.And shame on them for not letting your reload old software. I think that should be illegal. I tried to load photoshop on an older computer of mine, it is not in use on another computer. It said CS4 is not longer in use and directed me to buy CS6. If I paid for this, I should have full control within the 1 license policy! It must have been the same person I chatted with.

I reported an issue twice and finally gave up trying. Since when does Adobe discourage the use of plugins like Nik and Topaz?V: I understand that you are not able to work on photoshop CS 6 as it will crash, am I correct?Vivian: No, that is not entirely correct. I can work on it but in the instances I mentioned, it causes my entire computer system to crash.V: I’ll be glad to help you with this.V: May I know if you have installed any third party plugins?Vivian: Nik Color Efex Pro 4, Topaz DeNoise, Topaz Adjust and Topaz DetailV: Vivian, it is not recommended to install third party plugins as we cannot assure you the behaviorThey’re going to oblivion in a hand basket! The CC solutions is not a bad thing overall and I agree that the All or Nothing is killer.

Another issue is that I cannot continue to run older versions if I “upgrade” to CC. Currently I have 4 computers and they have varying versions of PS and Lightroom. The machine I am typing on has CS4 because I rarely do any editing on it. Occasionally i edit a web graphic or resize something but for the most part this is a business machine and its purpose is to do the books, marketing, email, etc.My laptop has CS5 (most current I own) and Lightroom3. I use that for onsite tethered shooting. I rarely do anything but the most basic edits on it, except if I am on vacation.

Then I may do more. This machine is about to be replace with a new MacBook Air I just got. The production machine is exactly that, production and it has all the most current software that I own on it. That is also going to be replaced by a MacPro when they come out in the fall.I am switching from PC to mac so this is particularly hard on me because I need to upgrade rather than switch over because I need mac versions rather than the PC versions I have now.Additionally the new CC is only good on 2 computers so I have to upgrade to two subscriptions to maintain my workflow as it is today. Booting up a second computer just because it has PS on it is a pain in the.Also everyone is saying how you can do this or that price wise but those prices are only good for a year, after that its going to go up.

The cost of the suite is actually more expensive than it has ever been with CC. With everyone thinking they are a graphic designer or photographer business is hard enough to find. Increasing my overhead is not a path to my heart.If Adobe is losing market share then figure out why and fix it.

Be more innovative, find a way to make me need the software over Corel or anything else. Just making the software harder to afford is not helping.Has Adobe thought of lowering the prices to gain back the market share lost to other less expensive options?Make the software more valuable not more expensive.

Make me need it more not less.Which is better, to get $100 profit from 10 clients or $10 from 100? The latter because you build brand loyalty and that means future profits. Charging more just means the customer is more apt to jump ship when a cheaper option comes around, AKA a smaller market share.In closing I will also add this, one way to add value is to provide decent technical support that values the client. Adobe has not had that for years. If I could talk to someone that A) knows the product and B) that is willing to actually make an effort and assisting me rather than telling me “tough titty cupcake” I might actually be more willing to pay the price they want to charge.And yes, if Adobe pulls this off other software companies will do the same.

I literally tear my hair out every time I have had issues with Adobe products in sheer angst over having to find assistance. I remember back in the day when you actually received excellent customer service from dedicated “live” Adobe employees. Real people who WANTD to solve your problem. Now you are lucky if you can even find a forum that will be able to help you out if you wait long enough.sometimes days. I agree that it seems like Adobe is next in a long line of greedy corporations who really don’t give a damn about customer satisfaction. I have wiped my hands clean of at least a half dozen of these companies by finding companies that value their customers enough to provide them with support (free) and access to live, real people to answer questions.

I have been a loyal customer of Adobe since day oneupgrading products and recommending to others.no more.not the way Adobe operates today. I love my Photoshop.

And believe me, abandoning it is the last thing I want to do. However, I refuse to forcibly rent software.

Please bring back the desktop application.I think most people in my situation don’t particularly mind the cloud’s existence I think they are perturbed by it being the ONLY upgrade means available. Providing the perpetual licensing that we’ve had to present, would certainly assure your customer base stays put. Cloud undoubtedly works for some people, and more power to them.

But for people like me, it just isn’t a viable solution. Well, I see the concept behind it: With only offering CC but not CS anymore they could have a rolling release, with new features coming in whenever they are ready (or whenever is a strategically good time to release time, eg. Right after a press event at a trade show). If CS was still around, people then would complain they have to wait a year for new features while CC users would already have them.

They thought they could avoid that problem by getting everyone to use CC.I actually like the concept of rolling releases, because I hate the feeling of missing out on some new features I could already be using. I personally love this offering by Adobe. Everyone is whining about price, but look at how much you spend on soft drinks while you are sitting using this software.

We are getting the best software from the industry standard with updates as they happen. Granted, I use some applications more than others, but they are there when I need them, not sitting on a shelf with another $700 price tag on them. It’s paying rent on a condo in a gated neighborhood instead of buying a shitty house that is forever needing upgrades. Just my thoughts, happy editing.

Trent, you must be a shill for Adobe. Your idiotic argument that we spend money on soft drinks justifies this stupid, stupid, stupid move by Adobe is really something. For one, I don’t spend a DIME on soft drinks, I don’t drink them. But even if I did, this is now some blanket justification to let every greed-driven but incompetent corporate management rip us off at every opportunity?BAD MOVE, ADOBE, you have pretty much destroyed your brand, any loyalty and respect we customers have had toward you. You’ve shown your true colors, you couldn’t care less what financial harm you may cause your customers, many of whom are struggling artists and others just getting by, just so your corporate degenerates can pay themselves huge salaries, like the utterly obscene $12.2 million your CEO is parasiting off of society. I have a great fear of the “cloud”.

It takes away MY control of my paid-for software. I have experienced the demise of several arrogant software companies that expected to live forever. I have outlived them and they have left me with orphaned software that is hard to live without irreplaceable. This WILL happen to Adobe. It is just a matter of when.

Look at HP, Dell, Kodak, and MANY, MANY others. It WILL happen to Adobe. It is just a matter of whether I will live longer than Adobe or not. In any case SOMEONE will outlive Adobe and be left with orphaned software and files. It is CERTAIN to happen. Your trend scares me spitless. Janome digitizer mbx v5.5. It’s already happening to Adobe.

They are turning their business into a simple app. As a web guy, I’m now using and have been using the creative suites for years. But, my next purchase will likely be the Microsoft version. All the reviews I’m reading about the Microsoft (Web whatever) are on the positive side. I have friends who move away from Dreamweaver a few years ago and never looked back. To often I want to work away from a hotspot. Adobe does not need to tell me how and when I can work.

Thanks for helping me make the move. I struggle to believe a professional photographer or anyone professional doesn’t upgrade every year. I know half the cameras my shop uses wouldn’t be supported by the old versions.If you don’t want to upgrade, don’t. Keep using 5.5 or whatever.The ‘paying for 14 applications’ argument is stupid- the cloud subscription is less than most any individual app ever was. Plus, if you’re a freelancer- which is better? Pay XX bucks once for a month worth of use or pay for the whole licensing fee for the one app you needed for all of 5 days?

You don’t have to pay for the whole year! Plus you can keep the file you created forever.I think the ability to purchase a copy of the software without a subscription should be available too but I just know how much money this has saved the business I own.In the past year, we brought on three interns, one never showed and two are no longer with me. The subscription service saved my business the license fee for those interns- I just paid for the months that they intern here. I bring this up because there are just as many positives as there are negatives.And the last big objection of what will happen if adobe goes belly up? Well, by then their software won’t be industry standard and required? I mean citing co.’s like Kodak?

We saw that coming a long time ago- and started buying Fuji film anyway before it really mattered!I think I understand the conflict more now but I just don’t agree. If there’s something to bitch about with Adobe its that there isn’t a decent support team available and the products have been full of glitches that are very expensive to companies that pay labor costs to the artists.You want a really valid argument that might dissuade Adobe from sticking to this long term!?!?!!!!: What happens when any other subscription service doesn’t work like it should? I get that time for free.

Seems like that ought to be some motivation to make sure the customer gets a product that works! To think a professional automatically upgrades every year is rather naive, I am a professional, have been in the graphics/photography field for close to twenty years now. I have NEVER upgraded annually. I know many many photographers/designers/illustrators that have no reason to upgrade.I am still using CS5 for the very reason there is nothing in CS5.5 or CS6 that I absolutely must have or that would make my life any easier or allow me to produce a better product. I downloaded the CS6 demo, used it for 30 days and not a single feature stood out as something I needed to spend more money on. Good business financial sense if you ask me – don’t spend the money if its not going to lead to more profit.As a professional photographer – there is no reason to upgrade my camera unless the camera has stopped working.

@create.persuasion – I have been using Photoshop since 1994, Version 3. I calculated my historic average upgrade cycle at 18 months (if you consult the version history you will see that there are many upgrades that came two years apart). The new price structure represents an 80% price increase for me. Sure it’s “only” $19.99 a month but it is an 80% price INCREASE right off the bat for a sole proprietor small business. The pricing apparently works in favor of businesses that need multiple licenses or creatives who need the suite.

For those of us who are solo and need and use only Photoshop the cost argument is invalid. The only people who don’t balk at an 80% price increase are those who have someone else paying the bill.As to why a professional photographer might skip an upgrade – quite simply, take a look at the newest (cloud) release. The only new thing in Photoshop for photographers is ‘anti-shake technology’ and no serious professional photographer would upgrade just for that. It is aimed at amateurs and hobbyists, the same very people Adobe courted in droves with it’s monthly payment option.To Adobe, having file ACCESS and file FUNCTIONALITY are two different things. Sure we could (as long as you honor it) open a file with CS6 after we cancel a subscription. But if we needed to make a minor change to that file for a client we risk losing any existing edits that were made with the cloud version.

When we may be contractually obligated to provide those files to a client this becomes a serious issue. And I’m sorry but I just don’t trust that because today you decided to add a promise that we could always open a file in a previous version that you will provide that ability forever. I saw that your FAQ originally said nothing of the kind, later changed to say that some programs would have the ability for now but no long-term promises, and then changed again to promise that we would always have this ability. And that still doesn’t address the issue that being able to open a file and being able to edit it are two completely different things.I’ve already begun the process of weaning myself off of Photoshop and have found that many things much easier to accomplish with other tools that are out there.I will not bet my business and several decades of image files on a subscription. I can’t wait to see the outrage in 10-15 years when people cancel their subscription for whatever reason and find out what they can and cannot do with several years worth of files they edited with all those nifty tools in the cloud.Forever is a very very long time. I cannot beleive the amount of silly negative comments on this site, you have the latest software on your machine, not the cloud, you are simply paying for the right to use the software, if you can’t afford the software don’t use it, try Linux, having the latest updates and bug fixes is what we all want, software that does not crash, but works and works well, but rather than seeing the benefits, of it all you do is bag it and Adobe, and if it checks your licence every three months big deal! We can’t drive our vehicles without a licence and they cost to.

So what, it is not a phiysical medium in your hand. Big deal, it’s on your hard drive, if it does crash, mine has not yet, just down load it again, complete with bug fixes, multiple computers, well that is what cloud is for, brilliant. You have got the best of it every way.Royce. I have been an Adobe user of Photoshop since PS 4 and when working bought the Suites when they started coming out. Adobe used to be a company that listened to its customers.

I have watched Tom Hogarty a few times in Hangouts and on Kelby TV and if he represents the Adobe mindset it is clear as to why Adobe has a “tin ear.”The issue is not as much the Create Cloud as it is Adobe’s obscene pricing scheme. Further, Adobe’s marketing has been all over the map. It almost appears that the right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.If Adobe offered the Cloud for Photoshop at $9 per month for three years and then raised the price a reasonable amount you would have more interested people.Unfortunately, you say you are listening–I have to see it become a believer because so far you have shown a lot of arrogance.You might want to recall some familiar products that thought they were kings in their fields also: Dbase, Quark, Quattro Pro, Lotus, Word Perfect–the list is endless–and I have used them all. I want Adobe to succeed not fail and land on the software trash heap, because there is always someone who can and will do it better and cheaper and people WILL eventually migrate to that someone if Adobe doesn’t wake up. I think there is a big fear of what the price will be after the first year.

I signed up for the upgrade from CS6 for 19.99 and it sounds like it will go up, possibly a lot after 1 year. I use 2 programs only that are available on the cloud since I do not do video or graphic arts, PhotosShop and Lightroom.

I justified the price because CS is usually around 199 every 12-18 months and LR is about 69 during the same period. So I am paying a little extra through the cloud to hopefully receive new cool updates on a regular basis instead of every 18 months. If it goes higher than 20 bucks a month after the first year, it will be very difficult to justify. Your competitors are getting better and it might be a time for a switch. Any word as to when? I’m facing a decision on what to do before the July 31 deadline (to receive “upgrade” pricing from CS3), and this factors very heavily into my decisions.For the record, I do hope Adobe is seriously paying attention.

There are a lot of very loyal customers out there that just don’t fit the assumed model. Many of us don’t take every upgrade, and many of us just can’t afford the pricing that we will face after the introductory rates go away.The “Adobe Jail” argument is also valid — if we stop paying the subscription, we may still keep access to our files, but we’ll have no way of editing them, whereas we at least previously had the option of using older versions of the software we already owned. And yes, I have heard the “you never owned the software before” argument, and I understand it we didn’t own the software, we owned the license. The problem is that with this model, we won’t even own the license we’ll be renting it. If I rent a car, the per-month price should be cheaper than the per-month price of buying it. The same should apply here (and it does — but only if you’re getting the entire creative suite). PLEASE Adobe, if you’re unwilling to maintain the perpetual license model, reevaluate your pricing structure.

Dear Jeffrey Tranberry,I am a photographer and I am happy to read that you and the rest of the Adobe team is looking into other avenues to suit photographers who primarily use Photoshop and Lightroom. I hope that includes professional photographers as well as enthusiasts.In reading an overwhelming amount of postings around different associations I belong to, such as Professional Photographers of America (PPA) and American Society of commercial and Media Photographers (ASMP), perhaps you can impart some definitive information to a few questions I, and I venture to say many others have?1. If I were to sign up for the CC, will I lose my license for my CS6 Master Collection and thus, its functionality on its own?1a. If I were to stop using the CC for whatever reason, will I be able to continue to use my CS6 Master Collection as usual prior to the CC?2. I have read that it is not advisable to use NIK and Topaz plugins with the CC Photoshop because the program crashes. These programs are an integral part of my workflow. Is this true, or is this an issue that has been resolved?3.

I understand the every 30 days, Adobe will poll my computer looking for validity of usage (fees being paid). What will happen if, during the polling period, I am in a situation with no internet connectivity in the field (e.g.shooting landscape photography) and my primary home computer is turned off?I realize you are suffering the slings and arrows of disgruntled customers and I admire you and your team for that. I believe the CC is a great platform, but not for everybody and certainly not all at once. It is my sincere desire for Adobe to find a solution that will appease those who are more comfortable purchasing licensed products with disc sets as in the past, of offer a perpetuity license that can be paid for in one payment that can be upgraded for an equitable fee should the customer desire. For those that find the CC more advantageous, they have what they desire already in place. I believe giving customers options will alleviate many loyal customers concerns and all parties involved can get back to doing what they do best.Thank you for taking the time to consider my questions and input.I look forward to your response.Respectfully,Don. Hi Don,Here are answers to your questions:1.

You CS6 Master Collection perpetual license product will work if you discontinue your Creative Cloud Membership.1a. I’m not aware of any crashing issues with the latest versions of NIK and Topaz plugins with Photoshop CC.3. There’s some subtlety here: If you’re on a month-to-month contract, it checks every 30 days (plus a 7 day grace). If you’re on a year long commitment that gives you the lower price, you have 99 days you can be offline at a time. We’re considering bumping this up based on feedback from field photographers.Hope that helps clarify.

The problem is that once you have put all your money into these cloud products, and one day don’t have the money to continue to pay for the software, then what? What do you have to show for it?If I am paying all that money, I Damn well want something to show for it. And Adobe has mentioned that the price will go up. So, now I am paying $20/month, spent over $200,and the price goes up to $30/month Do I pay my bills or support Adobe? And then what?

Now I have to go find software I can use to redo all the work I did in Ps. I don’t want to rent software I want to own it! And, at a reasonable price too.

I don’t want to keep paying Adobe every month for the rest of my life and I will not do so. I use Premiere Pro regularly, Photoshop occasionally and After Effects rarely, why should I pay for 14 (yes, fourteen!) other applications that I will never use?And if I stop paying after a year then everything stops working? Adobe you must be crazy to think customers would let you get away with such ARROGANCE.The pricing structure of CC and the lack of a perpetual licence is nothing other than PURE GREED from Adobe who are trying to milk this cash cow to death. I have already looked at alternatives and I will not be paying the ridiculous CC subscription charges while there are so many other applications available, many of them free to use. @ create.persuasion: I have read and appreciate your input and the responses to that input.You ask what you don’t understand and may be missing? People don’t like being forced into a situation in which there are not choices. Especially creative people.

The backlash, worry, and fear to the current way the CC is moving forward has to do with people feeling as though they are being backed into a corner with no recourse but fight or flight. Consumers want choices and it is reasonable for a company (including Adobe) to offer choices that their clientele are comfortable with and prefer.I am a photographer and as such, if I am going to spend thousands of dollars on a camera system, I want a choice on what I spend my money on based on my needs, not having a brand of equipment shoved in my face with the love it or leave it attitude. I’ll leave it every time and shove it up their bum on the way out the door.That’s what is the gist of what is going on here.

I think the CC is great and there are many benefits to using it. However, it is not for everybody and there are still many people that prefer to own their software outright and not have to make monthly payments. So, give people the option to make their own decisions as to which platform the want to use.

That is the win-win scenario.Respectfully,Don. Adobe, we want choices and don’t want to be forced into doing things your way. If piracy is a problem, then stop creating boxed software and move exclusively to online download only – you can verify email addresses, etc.

And keep your paying customers happy by still giving us the option to own the product outright.Understand that there are plenty of us who were raised to believe that you go without until you can afford what you want. For many, the idea of renting anything goes completely against the grain. Even Hire Purchase is better than you are currently offering as at least, after a designated period of time, you will own what you have bought if you keep up the payment.I want the Creative Cloud, I want to upgrade from my buggy CS6, I want to buy it. Why aren’t you giving your paying customers this option? Guess what Adobe? I don’t need you.

Professional Photographer who just got into the habit of using PS for RAW conversion, level and enhancements USING PLUG INS NIK owned by Google and Topazlabs.com Both programs are plug in with other software, beside PS. So, I got what I wanted from you since the beginning of PS. I know longer what you in my life (Good grief Charlie Brown) Everything you provided I can find elsewhere and frankly I’ve become a must better photographer over the years and need less and less of your service.

Thanks for the wake up call. People it’s your Choice, Adobe has made a Business Choice, not for the average PS user, but for Designer, Professional Corps who use PS/CC for a living. It was their choice and NOW it’s our choice.

I will follow up with Software Companies who are activity involved upgrading their software to take of the average user, the ones Adobe has said “WE don’t care about YOU” loyal customers all these years.
