And yet there are people who have two leased automobiles in their garage or driveway, who are recoiling at this move by Adobe. Also for those not aware, this is the model that Microsoft is either pursuing, or will pursue in the Corporate (and likely consumer) market for Microsoft Office product. All major GOOD software will ultimately be used on a rental basis. If you lease your car, you have NO complaint here. Software companies are simply trying to even out their cash flow and marry you to their products. Good Marketing always wins out.

I will probably subscribe and I am not a professional photographer. I took the plunge with Microsoft 2013 subscription a few months ago and love it. The subscription process only changes how you get the software. Any files that I create I have the option of saving them in Microsoft's SkyDrive (their Cloud) or on my computer. What is very nice is that if I store a file in SkyDrive I can access that file from almost any device. (another computer, my iPhone or iPad) very attractive feature.
My question and fear is what happens should you discontinue your subscription?
Yes, you may have stored the documents you have created on your own device but, without the software what good is it?
I would suppose there is a password needed to access - what happens if you have an attack of some sort and are unable to convey the password or where to find it - is your guardian (spouce, child, care-giver, executor) then locked out of what could be vitally needed information?
I would assume that for some, their images will constitute an asset to their estate. But of what value are they if they are unaccessable? Or, how much is the value diminished if one must institute court proceedings to gain access?
At least for the forseeable future or until there answers to my concerns, I'll stay with buying, installing and saving to my computer and drives.

That's the answer. Adobe is just encouraging others to get into the business and offer reasonably priced and accessible products. Thank goodness for competition and tahell with Adobe.

I once heard a discussion of the bits used to drill oil wells--what was said was "Well, you don't have to use a Hughes Bit--you could always use a shovel.--Same with Photoshop--if you want to have the best images you use Photoshop--nothing is "just as good". I see endless talk about "this lens is best--this body is best". And then talk about not using Photoshop--makes no sense. That said, the amount of storage Adobe makes available is ridiculous--I have two computer stations plus a laptop, and behind each of the main work places sit about 5 3TB drives and the laptop has a couple 1.5 TB that live in its case--I use bigger cards in my D800's than Adobe seems to think a photographer "needs"--Proof (to my mind) that those who design it don't use it. Plus the day some poor decision results in Adobe going under do you really want to loose every image you "own"? By the way, the root cause is that while Microsoft is the most hacked program out there, Photoshop is second--Adobe is addressing a real problem, if you have a better solution eMail them with it.

Another thread of mis-information. Photoshop alone is $10.00/month and you get improvements as they are ready. The $50.00 is for the whole suite and THAT is a real deal.
$10/month is a promotional price for the first year ONLY -- 50% of the regular price. Beginning the second year it will be $20.

And, if you cancel your subscription, you will lose access to the program/s.

What happens to Photoshop CC and my files if I cancel my subscription?
We do not delete any files or software from your computer. You will not be able to use the software but the files you've created and saved on your hard drive are left intact. And you don't need a valid license or Internet connection to uninstall the software.

$10/month is a promotion price; it is valid for the first year of your subscription only.

I had thought about subscribing to Photoshop for about one year (mostly to get the 3D features, previously only available in the Extended version). Then, I realize that, if I cancelled my subscription, this would happen:

That was the first thought which came to my mind when I heard about this "great deal". The answer is a simple one.

Geez people, use your heads! If you save images as JPG or TIFF, those are universal files and you will not lose access to them and even some third party software can read PSDs, believe
I have nots saved a PSD in years - al my layered files are layered TIFFs.
OF COURSE if your subscription lapses you will lose access. What else would you think? There will be other software that CAN read the files. This is no big deal.

I am currently using Adobe Cloud. At this point I believe it is worth while and allows me to have access to more than PS and Lightroom. If the pricing structure gets to a point where I do not think it is a value for my use, I will rethink the process. However, this is not the only company doing this and moving in this direction.
