[QUOTE="spb_stan, post: 644090, member: 43545"] I was resistant to the subscription model for a while but switched a year ago to CC Photographer's Bundle plus DreamWeaver CC. I have done everything practical to eliminate monthly payment and have it down to my Adobe account, 2 dedicated remote server hosting( I own the servers but pay for internet access for the servers and rack space in the US. Everything is no cost or pay as I go.That means if I take a 3 month travel break, my only payments are those two. If I don't use electricity for a month, my bill is $0. Same with phone and internet. My internet connections include 45mb/s 4G and 110mb/fiber optic for a combined cost per month if I use them of less than $18. When I am gone, it is $0 So you can see why having the Adobe CC is a kink in my plan.But even with that unwanted monthly charge, I feel it is well worth it.I like them being up to date all the time...already have been using the latest LR and PS. LR CC Classic is definitely the main program and CC is a toy ok for mobile phone processing but very limited. Storage allowance is small so another $10.mo would be needed for most people. I do not like the risk of losing all access to files and adjustments if the account is interrupted. If you download your files, any adjustments and processing done by CC is lost. You can download processed images that can't be adjusted in CC after downloading. I am not that crazy about mobile editing so CC is just a toy to play with on my phone. LR Classic however has some new useful features and it seems faster to render and images appear to full resolution much faster. Before, the image would appear with lower res or blur until the full file was loaded into memory, which could take a few seconds with my D800 36mpx raw files even with fast memory, top i7 processor and SSD. Processing a few hundred photos from an event or modeling session, can save lots of time with images appearing in full res quicker. Overall, people with CC seem to like the bundle and Adobe is making record profits, even though new first time sales are lower. For those who upgraded often, it is a real cost savings over upgrading every 2 years when major editions were released For those who prefer not to stay with Adobe, there are free alternatives for NEF rendering, either Nikon software or free RawTherapee which is a very feature rich and flexible RAW processor that is free open source.
