About Adobe’s cloud-only software delivery policy<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adobe’s ‘creative cloud only’ announcement – the news that Adobe software will be available only as cloud-based subscription service instead of as traditional software packages one owns and installs on their computers- \u00a0came as a shock to most photographers who use Photoshop.<\/p>\n

I received lots of questions about how the ‘cloud’ works and what one should do. Here are my thoughts and recommendations:<\/p>\n

1 – Upgrade to CS6. It’s a very good upgrade and who knows it may be the last opportunity to buy Photoshop that you can keep on your computer! I have it and I’ll keep it!<\/p>\n

2 – I have a feeling Adobe will be forced to offer an alternative to the cloud. There’s multiple reasons why, one of them being the requirement to have online access to process images in PS. What if you don’t have online access for whatever reason? No photoshop possible?<\/p>\n

3 – What about opening photos that you created a long time ago? Impossible unless you are a cloud subscriber. This means you have to pay the monthly fee, even if you don’t need photoshop, just to open your photos? That’s not right. \u00a0Of course we can convert psd files to tiffs or other format, but when your photo library features several hundred thousand images, as mine does, that’s easier said than done!<\/p>\n

4 – \u00a0Here is the ‘official information’ from Adobe:<\/p>\n
