Didn't Adobe always off a free trial of the CC? This article makes it look like it's something new. Going to the Adobe site, I didn't see any way to get the free trial. I don't want it, but I wanted to see if it was available. There is a link to Free Trial, but then they want payment.

I just upgraded to Lightroom 5( waiting to receive disk eta Tuesday ) I went to the site and was very disappointed everything is the Cloud! And monthly payments. For myself I want nothing to do with the Cloud. I have external hard drives and just must be old school, as far as free trial? It's free after they have your credit card. Just my two cents! Take the page out of Hillary s play book? lost info server crashed ?

NO, everything is NOT in the cloud. Everything is exactly where you want it.

I have used Adobe CC for over a year now, all my images reside on MY external hard drive, all my applications are installed on my computer and they all run on my computer.

The only thing that is on the cloud is the license.

If Adobe's server crashes, MY images are still on my computer.

"Creative Cloud" is perhaps a bad name.

I used the free 30 day trial for Lightroom a year and a half ago before I signed up for CC, as far as I know the free trial has been around for a long time.

Yes Jerry, you can still easily download the free trials of their software. You need to sign in or create an Adobe Account to download.

Thanks. I foolishly expected the Free Trial link to take me there.

Originally I resisted the CC route because I thought the same - that everything resided in the cloud on some remote server. When I found out the opposite, and that the software, images and processing remained local to my computer I saw no reason not to jump on board with the photographers package for Lightroom, Bridge and Photoshop for $10.00 a month.

My first year ran out and the subscription continued for the second year at no increase in costs.
