Previously, there was an option - hidden deep within the settings - of Photoshop that you could turn off the sharing / Adobe access to your files. I haven't checked, but it would appear now that this option has been removed.
While you can use photoshop offline, depending on your subscription, you must log into your Adobe account at least once ever 30 days if your'e billed monthly (I think it's 90 days if you bill annually) to continue to use the software, so even working offline Adobe will eventually get the opportunity to see what you've been doing.
It will be interesting to see what comes from this. I'm going to start exploring other image processing programs. I wonder if Adobe has gone a step too far, and shot itself in the foot. |
Maybe the answer will be for people to get an old copy of CS5.1 64 bit
and just block it in their firewall?
That old version is well before subscriptions were made
and doesn't need a connection to the internet to run.
Old is better.
