Anyone using Adobe Creative Cloud?

Following a computer crash last week I am going through all my hardware/software needs and trying to rationalise my whole setup.
I have PS CS5 currently but am considering using CC.
I am moving some other applications to cloud stuff to reduce my dependence on hardware in the home, but I want to make sure that the CC version of PS is at least as useful as CS (ie not a cropped down version) before spending any $$$

Anyone have any thoughts?

Malcolm

Hey Malcolm,

I'm not personally using CC, but the designers at work are, and they were very insistant on upgrading from CS6 to CC because there is alot of additional programs and features that come with the CC version of the design suite.

http://www.adobe.com/au/products/cre...ing-guide.html
Skip down to: "Creative Cloud - Photoshop Photography Program"

Gives you lightroom/bridge/photoshop and it sounds like you get the full CC enhanced version of them. If you don't mind the monthly commitment it looks pretty good.

Happy CS or CC'ing!

Rob

I certainly can see the benefit in a workplace, however.

also see this thread:
Quick review of Photoshop CC

where there are a few comments about the restrictions that come with CC, in particluar if you stop paying the subscription.

Think of your Bandwidth requirements. I went to 'the cloud' a year or so ago, to store my data and backups. The first upload was in progress when the elapsed time estimate came: 3.65 months!
I bought some portable hard drives.

Also consider if you are comfortable with giving your credit card details to Adobe. I had to cancel my Mastercard yesterday after finding a bunch of unauthorised transactions. This is a couple of weeks after the recent Adobe security breach. Could be a coincidence but I don't think so...

With Rick on this.
I wouldn't give my details to Adobe - 50/50 for security reasons and because i dislike the company as a whole.

But if you are comfortable providing the details then i havn't heard too much wrong with CC.

Just don't like their new pricing model and business tactics.
I've expressed my views in this thread: Quick review of Photoshop CC
CS6 does everything I need right now and for a long while.
