I have just upgraded from D300S to D610 Nikon, and now cannot process my RAW images from new camera. Does anyone have CS6 version for sale, as I do not wish to go the " Cloud " way. Thanks -- Arie

It is a simple process to use the free Adobe DNG Converter to put your new RAW files into a format that any version of Photoshop you already own can use.

Don't know anything about this place, but they seem to have some older copies. Don't look to Adobe for help with this one. They want you stuck in the cloud...the perpetual drain to your wallet.

With due respect for you and your wallet, I beg to differ.

For Photoshop CC, the perpetual drain on your wallet is equal to about 3 gallons of gas, two meals at MacDonalds or a couple of coffees at Starbucks. Or, if you still shoot film, you can get two rolls of 36 exposure Tri-Ex 400, developing not included.

According to the press, the "perpetual drain" program is up to 3.3 million users and well ahead of plan. The CC has been well recieved.

One thing I read in a business journal was that Adobe was loosing about a third of their revenue to pirated copies of their software. One of the elements of the CC is to put a plug in that drain hole.

I have had CS6 for several years now. $120/yr would have cost me several hundred dollars for the privilege of renting the software. More than a cup of coffee, if you drink the stuff, or if you eat at Mac Donalds. But that enables me to save for another lens or whatever.

I don't think it is bad that they forced people to the cloud, either. They were thinking bottom end profitability, and not customer needs. They are running a business. If it works for them, so be it.

They don't have very good customer service, and if I stop paying them, they shut the whole thing down.

And for the pirating, the hackers have already managed a workaround on the cloud copy, sorry.

So I don't think we differ in opinion. You have them attached to your credit card, and I don't. It's ok, just not for me, and I was responding to the original poster, as they wanted feedback. You have made your decision already.

The full price of CS6 (which you can still buy) equals about 4 yrs of Creative Cloud for photographers, and you get Lightroom, and continual feature additions. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't keep running ancient software, I update. You'd still be ahead of the game with CC if you include updates every few years.

Actually we don't differ much because they are NOT attached to my credit card. I don't subscribe. I prefer the combination of Lightroom, Photoshop Elements and Premier Elements. One reason is that there is not a monthly charge. The other reason is that I've not found anything I want or need the big Photoshop for.

My upgrade for Elements this year was $80. I missed a $70 deal. And that's for both. As near as I can tell, what I'm spending on keeping LR and Elements current is close to or greater than the $10 per month plan except I get a video editor. If Adobe made access to Premier Pro, Photoshop and Lightroom for around $15 a month I might consider the CC more strongly.

Since Premier CC is expensive for rental, I'm drifting toward Sony's NLEs with a price range of $50 to $700. Sony does not rent it, they sell it.

The objection is not so much the monthly cash drain, but the complete loss of the software if you don't keep paying. I use CS6, have for years, and see nothing in CC that I need. I've saved over $200 so far by NOT renting CC by the month. The argument that CS6 is outdated software is valid only if you think you need a few "enhancements" that they pile into an already mature and "complete" product.

You can find any number of programs that can convert your RAW images into an editable format including DNG (free from Adobe), Picasa, and your own software that Nikon sent with the camera.

Go to http://www.wizzlinks.com/

You can download CC onto your PC for £30. Will it work YES
Will the site help if you have install problem YES
Will Adobe be able to stop it working NO
Is it legal Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Will I be caught and prosecuted NOT A CHANCE IN HELL

Now I am not recommending this. I have no relationship with the site the choice is yours. Between you and your views and conscience.
So any anti pirating preacher out there do not waste your time relaying your views to me please. I have CS6 and CC neither of which I bought from the site I recommended.
But I can assure you for 50 US or whatever £30 translates to the software does work and they are are all full copies. The site has been up and running for 5 years or more and takes all major credit cards and Paypal.

And when stop paying, they stop supplying the software.

I will shoot photos till I die. I will want software to process those photos till I die. I want that software to employ the latest technology. That's not gonna be free, despite how much I want it to be. But, at $10.00/month, it's close.

All this back and forth about CS6 and CC, it not the original question that his CS6 not updated to the D610 Raw format. Not getting update for new cameras is the question. If one will never use a new camera then Old Software may be OK.

And further, if they use any new camera in JPEG mode, there is never an issue. On top of that, the mean, nasty, for profit, money grubbing, tyrannical king of photography software gives away, as in free, the Digital Negative Converter program that is a breeze to use. It transforms any RAW photo file used by any camera of any consequence and the keep it just as current as the latest CC version of Photoshop. The DNG transformation makes the RAW photo comparable in any Photoshop you've ever invested in.

Just to keep in mind - purchasing the CS6 software is easy, making sure the license for the software is legitimate and will be recognized by Adobe, not as easy. There may be many difficult hoops both you (the buyer) and the seller will have to jump through in order for you to have a clear license.
