Not a big surprise. Predictable responses from the comments. I won't be going with subscription as it stands, even at education rates it's prohibitively expensive for occasional, non business use. I would say also for the non corporate business user too. Most only upgrade every couple of versions at the most. Which is probably what has triggered this 'idea' of Adobie's. The general development of getting data and software off users computers onto remote servers, using the 'cloud' smokescreen/ Removing CD/DVD drives is just a small step down the same road to downloaded everything. What may force upgrades is changes in new Operating Systems, That was what forced me to go from CS2 to CS5, CS2 did all I needed, but wouldn't run on the newer OS's after Snow Leopard. Whatever comes after OS 10.9 may change the game again. There is one misconception, the 'cloud' based software does not require the computer to be connected continually to the internet, nor for the verification process to take vast amounts if bandwidth. I think you can work for about four months without internet connection before the software even mentions it. It remains to be seen if this is a good business model for Adobe, one thing for sure, others will be watching very closely. If Adobe pull it off M$ will be close on their heels. Interesting times.

Robert- OS upgrades AND new RAW formats are the only driving forces to keep me at all interested in any adobe product at this point. I think JK is on to something with Capture One - I wish I took more time to really try to figure it out when I had a trial working. Well, I don't have to do anything right now - not till Nikon or Fuji comes up with some new RAW tweak, at least. All very frustrating...and we felt like they were treating us right, we would all be excited about new releases... Adobe is just not a company I am happy dealing with - how sad. I love Nikon, Fuji, Apple, and lots of software firms...why do I love to hate Adobe????

Absolutely no chance I will upgrade. I cant see how they will get round the need to distribute for those without direct Internet connectivity e.g. large corporates, some businesses, people on the move, etc..

GIMP does everything you could possibly want -- and it's free: http://www.gimp.org/ Martin.

Yep but I rely on my actions which I still havent worked out how to do in GIMP. I guess that I can use Photoshop CS6 for many years to come and just go with Capture Pro 7 that I have installed.

I'm not affected as the version of Photopaint I'm using (bought in 199x!) supports the Photoshop plugins that I need.

I think you are right Tom. I see no reason actually why I cant carry on using Photoshop CS5/CS6 as it works well for me. I use Capture Pro and Aperture is also available at a reasonable cost.

Whether or not you have or use CS6 I think that people should sign the petition. http://www.change.org/petitions/adobe-systems-incorporated-eliminate-the-mandatory-creative-cloud-subscription-model
