[QUOTE="jwstl, post: 147090, member: 12977"] I disagree with your views on Cloud services, if used for the right purposes, they are incredibly valuable; I won't stop paying for mine. But that's storage, nothing more. However, I agree with your views on Adobe's subscription model. I have nothing against subscription software (full disclosure...I'm under contract with a subscription based software company) but I believe subscriptions benefit medium and large companies and offer nothing to small businesses and individuals... like photographers. Adobe needed to offer a different option to those licensing a single copy vs. multiple copies. I know the price is cheaper but most small business don't need to always have the latest features. And they may not use an application enough to warrant monthly fees every month. It certainly seems that Adobe doesn't care much for single licenses. They actually believe photographers only need Lightroom. Anyway...this decision doesn't affect me as much as some others because I do not believe in putting all my eggs in one basket. In other words, I have alternatives/backup for everything from hardware to software in case of hardware failures, software incompatibilities etc. So now I can ditch Adobe and still acomplish what I want. I have CS6 and I'll use it when I have too but I will not subscribe and I'll be spending more time on those alternatives. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD [/QUOTE]
