Hello Sheena,
Thank you for your reply. I believe that when trying to promote a controversial system like the Creative Cloud, everything should work flawlessly. A special CC installer is needed to install the CC Desktop, then you have to spend hours reading and trying to make this work. It’s really frustrating.
Fortunately, this milestone made me realize that perhaps Lightroom is not for me anymore. I have been an ardent fan of Adobe’s photo products, have bought many of them for years, almost since the first versions of Photoshop, but last year I wasn’t able to buy Photoshop CS6 – it had to be through the CC. I like to buy a product, own its license for whatever time I choose and then buy a new one if it pleases me. I cannot do this in the CC, where I am forced to continue paying for a product no matter what (it is a curtailment of the freedom of choice).
I also learned that in the very near future Lightroom could also be included in that ominous list of products in the CC., so I believe this is the time to say good-by to Adobe photo products. It is a shame that a marketing strategy that worked so well since the beginning of Photoshop, should now be substituted for such a widespread-disliked experiment called the Creative Cloud. Perhaps it works fine for large businesses, but not for smaller ones, the ones that put Photoshop and Lightroom where they are now.
Adobe, we made you grow and now you think you don't need us anymore, so you dump us.
Good-by and good luck, Adobe.
