[QUOTE="Bourbon Neat, post: 445526, member: 37727"] Interesting read but it doesn't excuse what they have released to paying customers, a failure of one of their selling points. Here is a V8 engine that will rock your socks off but you can only use 5 of those 8 cylinders because the other 3 don't hold up to what we expected. I purchased 5.7 stand alone version and things worked well enough but was missing the support for the new camera models. To get the latest cameras supported meant moving up to LR6 (with no other option from their end), however, this upgrade has brought various negative effects as noticed at the adobe support site. A company can do as it wishes just as a customer can. Unfortunately in regards to stand alone software, adobe has chosen a swamp water approach. People will accept or reject the company when it takes a stand and only go the leasing route. However the rather underhanded route is to pretend to continue the stand alone option while jerking those customers around in a manner of twisting their arm to join cc. How am I to go out on a desert weekend to shoot and process astro shots without internet access? Launching the stand alone version that I purchased will not launch until signing in to the adobe account. Maybe this will be resolved and maybe not but as a paying customer we expect a product to function properly, especially from a tried and true outfit like adobe. This not their first rodeo for sure.
