Photoshop and Intuous 5 bug?

Hi All,
I noticed that if i draw a very short line (about 10 pixels or less) then cursor shifts back to starting point. This is very annoying when you draw small details alot.
Tested on systems an drivers:
Mac OS X 10.6.4 or 10.7.4
Driver 6.3.0 or 6.3.3-3
Photoshop CS 5 (12.0.4)
Photoshop CS 5.5 (12.1)
Mac OS X 10.8.2, Driver 6.3.3-3 and Photoshop 6 (13.0.1) - same problem.
I have three Intuos 5 tablets for now and all have this bug so this is not a hardware problem i think.
Corel Painter 12 - all good.
Can anyone reproduce this bug?

Document size - Int. paper A4.
Brush/Pencil - doesn't matter.
Zooming:
here is my screenshot with various zooming

Lines in the red circles is a good try without shift.

  • Tablet PC calibration error in Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator CS3 whilst in Extended Desktop Mode

    Hey everyone!
    I've run into a snag which hasn't bugged me before because I never used a second monitor, but now that I do, Photoshop and Illustrator don't function properly.
    I am running my Adobe products on my Lenovo X61 Thinkpad Tablet, which is Wacom PenEnabled. It's got the basic digitizer pen and pen pressure features, no stylus tilt or anything.
    Whenever I run Photoshop or Illustrator in Extended Desktop Mode so I can have a different window open on my external monitor and the Adobe app on my tablet screen, my stylus goes strange. It seems to think that the extended desktop is part of the Adobe window, so when I move my stylus to draw, the cursor will appear on the external monitor, usually proportionate to the size of the screen...ie. It interprets the external and tablet screens as one desktop and the top left corner of my tablet screen is the top left of my external, whilst the bottom right on tablet IS the bottom right on tablet, if that makes any sense...sorry.
    So I can't draw anything in photosho unless I set it back to standard desktop mode, or mirrored desktop. I've searched over the net and these forums and I can't find a fix for this. I was walking in harvey norman the other day and the Wacom Cintiq 12" was there on display, and it had the same issue with extended desktop and photoshop.
    Has anyone had this issue before and/or does anyone know of a fix for it? I'll keep searching around and playing with the computer until I fix it and I'll post any solutions I find here if noone else has one.
    My system details are:
    Abobe Photoshop CS3 10.0.0
    Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.0
    OS: Windows Vista Build 6001, Service Pack 1, 32bit
    RAM: 2GB
    HD: 18.2GB free Disk Space (out of 66.3GB on the Active Partition)
    Video: Intel GMA: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family

    I'm using an HP tx2011au tablet pc, using adobe flash cs3 and have the exact same problem. it becomes decalibrated only while the flash window is open, and only while flash has a file open, and only when using an extended desktop. even if flash is open and it has no files open it works fine.

  • Image printing problem with Photoshop and Lightroom specifically with 11X14 cuts off top of image and moves bottom border up. Windows 7 OS - Epson Printer is working properly.

    Have an unprecedented problem with printing 11X14 photos in both PS and Lightroom. The printer is operataing properly. Printing 81/2X11 correctly. Have double and triple checked all the printing settings and they are correct. Have checked with friends to no avail. This problem started yesterday. Widows 7 OS. Need help.

    You show the OS receiving an image from Photoshop, and the OS starting the Epson print driver and handing it part of the image, the driver connects to the printer, then the print driver fails. It looks like a bug in the Epson rasterizer, or the printer communication.
    You really need to talk to Epson.  Photoshop isn't involved in that error.

    If I were you I would first make sure CS6 was deactivated or signed-out. Then download Adobe's cleaner and remove cc, CS6 and any other creative  application installed including Creative Cloud desktop application.  Then install CS6 and use your CS6  serial number during the install to activate CS6 standard or extended which ever the serial number is for.   CS6 Version 13.0 should the be activated. That level of CS6 is extremely bug ridden so be sure to the use CS6 menu Help>Updates to get CS6 updates.  Windows should update to version 13.0.1.3 Mac to version 13.0.6.  Not Subscription CS6 version 13.1.2...
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6

    I reopened the case for there was no fix  Adobe contacted me and told me it would be fixed is some future release of Photoshop and once again case # 181675168 was closed over my objection.
    I was vocal about Adobe poor excuse for support in forums.   I then was contacted by Jeff Tranberry of Adobe he was asked to  contact me by John Nack to see if he could change me.  We exchanged some e-mails ending with Jeff writing unfortunately, you issues has been deemed low impact and has been deferred.
    May 7, 2012  I called Adobe to find out if this bug was fixed in Photoshop for I did not want to buy CS6 if the Bug was not fixed. After about an hour on the phone talking to many Adobe employees including Adobe Support  referenced case # 181675168 log as Bug # 2737069. I was told the bug was not in CS6.  So I ordered CS6.   FedX dropped off Today I installed it only to find the bug introduced is CS4 reported in CS5 is still in CS6.  
    Adobe when will you fix this bug # 2737069????

    NOTES & RESPONSES
    Notes from Customer
    Thursday, June 10, 2010 8:21:19 PM PDT
    CS5 has a bug recording and playing Actions that add Adjustments layers. Old actions recorded before CS5 and actions recorded with CS5 may or may not Play/Work correctly.
    Before there was an Adjustment Panel all Adjustment Layers were added applied to all layers and you needed to clip them after the were added if you wanted it clipped. The new adjustment panel made it possible to add a adjustment layer clipped to the current layer. However a clipping parameter is not recorded by the action recorder just the type and setting are recorded.
    When a make adjustment layer step is play it is either clipped or not depending on the state of the adjustment panel's clipping icon. If it not in the same state as it was when the action was recorded it will be add incorrectly. It would also be impossible to create an action that added some adjust layer clipped and others that are not.
    I feel the is a serious bug which needs to be addressed. I believe the solution is simple and even old actions will also work.
    Two patches are needed.
    One in the Action recorder. If the step being recorded is make adjustment layer and the adjustment panel icon state is clip to layer this needs to be recorded in the action step record. If the layer is to be applied nothing extra needs to be recorded in the step record just leave it as is like actions prior to the adjustment panel.
    The second patch in the Action Player.  If the step that is about to execute is a make adjustment layer. The Player needs to save away the state of the adjustment panel icon. Then check the adjustment step record to see if it is to be clipped. If so set the adjustment panel icon to the clipping state else set it to the all layers state. Then do/call the add adjustment layer function/routine on return restore the adjustment panels icon from the saved state. Proceed to the next step.
    I have been trying to report the bug for days. Please at least acknowledge you received my bug report.
    Thanks

    I consulted your knowledge base and I called customer support. This bug has not been listed. Custom support had me fill out a bug report at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm? name=wishform which I did but that was not even acknowledged. I demonstrated the bug to customer support by sharing my screen.
    As for you forums for some reason the forum web site states my Adobe ID is disabled so I can not append or start a thread there id screen name jjmack. I created a new Adobe ID yesterday [email protected] that to seems to be disabled or I can not come up with any screen name the is availably I have tried many. Every simple or outlandish name I have entered generates the same message screen name not available. I'm at my wits end I've been using Photoshop since Photoshop version 3. Over the years it seems to get harder and harder to communicate with Adobe....

    simpler then I first thought. Upon more investigation this is what I see.
    I skipped CS4 and when I installed CS5 I discovered a nasty bug had been introduced is Photoshop's Action facility most likely in CS4.
    Action that add adjustment Layers clipped to the current layer that step is recorded Make adjustment layer with Clip.
    Action that add adjustment Layers not clipped Step records as Make adjustment layer.
    When a step Make adjustment layer with Clip is played back that is what Photoshop does.
    When a step Make adjustment layer is played back what Photoshop does is look at the adjustment panel clipping icon state and and if it is clip to current layer Photoshop does clip the adjustment layer to the current when is should be applied to all.
    Many of the actions I have created add adjustment layer applied to all then later clip them to the current layer. These actions generate an error message if the Adjustment panel clipping icon is set to clip. Because the layer get added clipped clipping it is not available. The strange thing is the layer is clipped the way I wanted it to be. But actions I recorded where I want the adjustment to apply to all are clipped and the is no error message just wrong results.

    Create a one step action that add an adjustment layer that applies to all layers.
    Play that action with the icon in the adjustment panel is set to apply to all layers. Change the status of that icon to clip to layer and play the action again.
    You will find the first adjustment layer was added correctly apply to all layers like it was recorded the second adjustment was added clipped to layer when it should be applied to all...

    July 2 Adobe support called me once again they share my display and I demonstrated the bug for a second time. This time the stated they were recording my demo. After I demonstrated the bug they put me on hold for a while. Upon returning they informed me that there was still no circumvention or fix for this problem. They wanted to know if I was at the latest software level they were still sharing my display so I did a Photoshop Help About Photoshop to show I had the latest update Photoshop version 12.0.1. Told me they were not capable of handling this problem and would have to refer this to senior technical support that they would determine if it was a bug. What a joke Adobe junior technical support can not even recognize a bug when it has been demonstrated to them on two occasions now and also received several case update from me. Adobe you need better support personal.

    I would like to apologize for the delay in providing you a faster resolution to your issue and appreciate your patience with us.
    I would like to inform you that your issue has been logged as bug so the workaround is obviously to make sure the clip to layer is not enabled prior to running any of these actions.Also my Product Team and Engineering Team are working on this issue you can use the work around as mentioned above.
    This should resolve your issue. If it does, please let us know, however in case it does not; please revert with any new information that you might want to add which will help us in resolving your issue.

    Any work around does not solve my problem. Thousands have downloaded my actions. There is no way that I can contact them to make the aware of any work around. I can code around this bug but again I have no way to get the update to those that have downloaded my actions for they are free. All that is logged is the number of downloads. No registration is required so there is no way to contact the users that downloaded my actions. The problem will only be resolved when adobe updates Photoshop and fixes the problem.

    This case should not be closed till there is a fix for this bug. How can Adobe Support close a bug report when Adobe acknowledges its a bug where Adobe Support does not provide a fix. Blowing smoke with statements like "if in the future a resolution or fix is possible, it will be available from the Adobe Systems product update web site". Photoshop CS3 work correctly Adobe broke the Action Player in CS4 and its still broken is CS5. "if a fix is possible!"!!! Are you joking? What kind of support is that? Do you get a bonus for closing bug reports without fixing the bug? Does it make you look good inside Adobe. I can tell you from the outside there is a foul stench emulation from Adobe Technical Support.

    Dear John ,
    Thank you for getting back to us with the required information and we appreciate your patience in helping us to resolve your issue as soon as possible.
    I would suggest you to please go to through the KB document to move actions from Photoshop CS4 to CS5 given below :
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/860/cpsid_86020.html
    Please make sure about the loaction of actions which you created or saved in Photoshop CS4, go to that location and make sure you have all the actions there.
    Did it ever work in Photoshop CS5?
    Try to make a copy of the action that he is trying to run, remove the 'Hide' command and re-record hide in PS CS5, put it into the action, and see if that works.
    Or try making a short action along with Hide command . If this works, then something might have got changed between the version.

  • Aperture, Photoshop, and Apple's possible direction for Image Editing

    All,
    After using Aperture now for several days, and reading many different forum topics, in particular this one which speaks of desired enhancements to Aperture:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=253594&tstart=0
    there is one thing that really sticks out on my mind. While all of us photographers have slightly different specifics to our workflow, in general they are very similar. And with respect to Aperture, there is one huge area where most of us seem to be hitting the brick wall: image adjustments, and by extension, image file management. Let me explain what I mean.
    I think it is a fair generalization to say that the vast majority of serious digital photographers are using Photoshop (or some other image editing app, but I'm just going to refer to Photoshop for convenience) for post-processing of some kind. In using Aperture, and figuring out how to fit it into workflow, we've got this situation of how to move from organization and image library management to the full gamut of image adjusting functionality (photoshop) and back again to library management. The need to use photoshop then exposes the issue of how files are stored on the filesystem, etc. Stay with me here...
    I have found myself thinking, and it is pretty clearly demonstrated in the forum topic mentioned above where folks are making suggestions for improvements to Aperture, that there's this barrel people are over in knowing whether Photoshop and Aperture should live in the workflow together, or whether Aperture should (or is intended to) replace Photoshop in the workflow. This got me to thinking about the fundamental question -- what is the intent, i.e. the vision for Aperture? Is it meant to replace Photoshop, or restated, is Aperture meant to be the app in which all image adjustments are to be made, OR is Aperture meant to just ease workflow, and is it intended not to be the primary app for image adjustments, but rather integrate with the primary image adjustment app?
    The reason I bring this up is that the answer to this question makes all the difference in what enhancement requests and what people should expect from Aperture now, and in future versions. If Aperture is the primary place for image adjustment, then its obvious that there are some very significant additions that need to take place to Aperture, and likewise, the issue of putting images on the filesystem becomes much less important. However, if Aperture is a workflow-easer, then such image adjustment improvements are minimally important if at all, and filesystem / Photoshop / PSD file integration becomes paramount.
    I know what Aperture does, what features it provides, etc. But I can't help but realize that its not really that clear (or I just don't understand yet) what the full scope of Aperture now and in the future is intended to be, and the forum topics are pretty decent documentation of the fact that the user base at this point is fairly cloudy on that too.
    I can't help thinking that in the midst of the Apple pro line of tools, where we have tools that edit: video, audio, DVD creation, text effects, and now digital photography workflow, that there's one glaring hole: static image editing, i.e. a direct Photoshop competitor. I went through the Aperture video demos before Aperture shipped, and watched these photo pros talk incessantly about how "now there's an app that addresses how I work -- Aperture". That's great, but Apple has to know the role that Photoshop plays in present photography workflow -- for those pros too. So I'm sitting here thinking to myself, why would Apple roll out such a product with some clear workflow hurdles to common Photoshop usage.
    Ok, here's the punchline: does anyone else here have a sneaking suspicion that Apple is not to far off from releasing their own image editing application that's a direct Photoshop competitor? I mean come on, Final Cut Pro, Motion, Sountrack, and by extension of the CEO to Pixar, Renderman. How can you not have a static image adjustment application entering the scene at some point?
    I'm curious what others think. I'm just trying to make sense of how to fit the neat stuff I see in Aperture into a workflow that doesn't play very nicely with Aperture at some points (because I'm using Photoshop).

    So Apple adds curves adjustments,
    we'll need noise reduction, greater sharpening
    capability, etc., etc., and then when we have all
    those features, surely we'll need masking and select
    capability to perform those adjustments selectively,
    etc. Where does it end?
    Actually that could be a good cut-off point - add a few more/better 'global' adjustments but leave all mask, selection and layer based tasks to external editors. Personally, I used to swear by curves, but haven't really touched them in PS for a year since shooting more RAW and learning how to use the shadow/highlight adjustment properly. Sometimes for overall colour for JPEGs, but that bit can be done just as well in levels.
    My workflow isn't particularly typical, but here goes.
    Type of photography - stitched panoramas as a professional, plus general snapshots/nature/landscape as hobby. Single user with no network storage.
    Currently I use a very organised folder structure in the Finder, along with aliases in DragThing docks for easy access to final stitched files, all with their own unique ID. RAW conversions are done in ACR/PSCS2, or Bibble if I'm in a hurry on the laptop. About 40% of the panos are shot in RAW, 40% are bracketed JPEG and the remaining 20% are 'single' JPEG. The panoramas go through quite a lot of post-processing in PS using a whole series of actions and AppleScripts.
    I'm expecting my workflow to look something like this:
    1) Download directly into Aperture, possibly with added help from Automator/Applescript when it comes to proper date-based names.
    2) Divide download into a new album for each panorama.
    2a) If it is a people pano there will be quite a lot of duplicate shots for each panohead position - make a stack for each position and choose picks - this bit will speed things up enormously by itself. Reorder stacks to fit correct order of images going around the scene.
    3) Export to TIFF (sometimes JPEG) and stitch using PTMac (sometimes Realviz Stitcher). Oh, and any people who think Aperture is limited, buggy and bad value should go and look at Stitcher - it costs the same, has a far more limited feature set, is on version 5 and by comparison makes Aperture look bug-free.
    4) Bring stitched panorama into Photoshop to adjust seams through layers if needed, flatten, final tone adjustments (usually using shadow/highlight), possibly some colour tweaks, sharpen. For bracketed shots I will blend together the three exposures at this point using a custom action - this kind of thing is unlikely ever to make it to Aperture.
    5) Bring final print-ready file into Aperture for cataloguing/backup.
    5a) If file is too big for Aperture, make a smaller version for cataloguing and store original file in Finder. This gives me a good file for 90% of purposes, with the huge file available with a bit more work.
    Too big? I've found that Aperture gets sluggish with files over 18-20,000 pixels wide, and chokes totally somewhere between 25,000 and 32,000 pixels wide - 'image format unsupported'.
    To summarise - organise and convert in Aperture, stitch in specialist software, do PS-specific stuff then bring final image back in to join the source images.

  • "Open With" EPS Photoshop and Illustrator

    I have updated to 10.6.5 and having issues opening EPS files in Illustrator and Photoshop. It will only open them in one, whereas before it would choose the appropriate program it was created in.
    I go to "get info" and select the appropriate program and "change all". Then it opens ALL eps files in that one program. I can't get it to open vector EPS files in Illustrator and raster EPS files in Photoshop.
    Please help! "Editing Original" from InDesign and Quark is driving me insane!!

    Snow Leopard only allows one app to open generic EPS files, you can't split them. If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Mac Developer Program—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

  • Early today Alt, Ctr and Click and drag changed the brush size. Now it makes the move tool work. Anyone have this problem. I think Adobe had an update and put a bug in the program.

  • Photoshop and illustrator updates break registration

    Ran the CS6 Photoshop and Illustrator updates today and found both started in trail mode. Had to reenter serial number (production premium) and update Adobe ID. Just me or a bug?
    --David

    Hi Richei Creative,
    These would be my suggestions:
    Create a new user account with administrative rights, log out of your current account and into that one, launch Adobe Application Manager and attempt the Photoshop update again.
    Instructions if you need them  - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11468
    If this fails, uninstall Photoshop (Applications > Utilities > Adobe Installers) and reinstall Photoshop then from Adobe Application Manager the attempt the Photoshop update again, also from the newly created user account.
    Hope these help,
    -Dave

  • Photoshop CS4 serious dragging bug

    I'm running Photoshop CS4 in two different MacBook Pro's unibody, both with 10.6.4 installed, both PSD versions are separate copies with different licenses and both are updated to the latest release, 11.0.2.
    In both machines I've experienced a serious dragging issue that so far seems to be related to something in Safari, particularly when I drag an image straight from the browser to the photoshop window. The bug consists of immediately any function that includes dragging something across the screen (painting, scaling, panning, cropping, rotating, you name it) becomes impossible to do, and the screen "stutters" all over the place for several seconds until the issue goes away itself. The problem has become super frequent in one of my computers, the newest one which I mostly use with an intuos 4, the other one I use with an intuos 3, as mentioned before both laptops are unibody, but one i got in december 2008 and the other one in february 2010.
    The issue has gotten to the point where it is almost impossible to work with that computer, as it is happening sometimes up to 5 or 6 times each minute.
    Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated.

    From the PS CS4 manual:
    Change the Color Picker
    Instead of using the Adobe Color Picker, you can choose colors from your computer operating system’s standard Color Picker or from a third party Color Picker.
    1 Choose Edit > Preferences > General (Windows) or Photoshop > Preferences > General (Mac OS).
    2 Choose a Color Picker from the Color Picker menu, and click OK.
    For more information, see your operating system documentation.
    Note: To return to the Adobe Color Picker, choose it from the Color Picker menu in the General Preferences.

  • Polygonal Lasso Tool and White menus bug in Mavericks - help!

    After installing Mavericks I´m having so much trouble with the lasso tool and white menus in photoshop that it is really breaking my production speed and causing a lot of problems for me.
    Especially the Polygonal Lasso Tool, how its auto completing when painting with a tablet.
    Sadly I´ve upgraded to Mavericks, and I wish I never did that. Because these problems never occured in Mountain Lion. I´ve tried going back 3-4 steps on the tablet drivers - but no luck. I tried reinstalling photoshop and I´ve tried pretty much anything I can think of but nothing helps. I deperately need to fix this and I have a long line of architectural illustrations coming up and it takes me a lot more time working with masks if I cant do it with a tablet...
    I hope Adobe reads this! But if there´s anyone with a similar problem that has found a workaround or something I can do to fix this, please help!

    Yes, 3 MAJOR problems which bugs the hell out of me.
    -The white menus (which I assume Adobe is going to fix, since its a very common problem and it has gotten a lot of complaints)
    -The polygonal Lasso tool (which Adobe has not responded to at all ) and I assume its something everyone with a wacom struggle with in Mavericks, but not everyone is that dependent on this tool, which we haven´t seen more complaints.
    -The keyboard doesn´t always respond to a keystroke, and you have to do a left click for it to start reacting again. (which I also assume is something everyone with Mavericks is experiencing, but you need to use the keyboard a lot to notice it.
    But why Adobe hasn´t given a single reply to the threads (except those about the white menus) about these problems baffles me I guess if they don´t know of a quick fix, it´s better to ignore it entirely. I´m considering every day if I should take the time to revert back to Mountain Lion - though that isn´t exactly a tempting solution. It´s weird how Mavericks can create that many bugs to Photoshop and why there´s not any info on any bug fix updates in the near future. I´m paying a lot of money for this software. I should get better customer care for this. ...sorry for ranting, but it´s making me more frustrated every day.

  • Drag & Drop and Magic Wand and Any Selection Bug...

    Helllo,
    I am experiencing a continuous bug in Photoshop CC 2014.
    First I'm on a Mac G5 using OSX version 10.8.5.
    The bug I am experiencing is not allowing me to select anything using the Magic Wand tool or even the Arrow Selector in any layer if I drag and drop an image from the web to Photoshop.
    I have to physically click on the Mac's main background window outside of Photoshop and then click back to Photoshop to get it to work.
    Thanks,
    JW

    I am guessing you are using an ImageIcon to put the image into the JLabel. I would suggest creating your own version of "ImageIcon". In the interface Icon, the paintIcon method gives you access to the component which is your JLabel. You can get the size of this and draw the image to fit the components size. getIconHeight/Width() should work ok if you just return the initial size that you want the icon to be.
    Another option is to extend JPanel and override its paint method. This would give you direct acces to paint whatever you want, and you can resize your image accordingly when the size changes.
    As far as the flashing goes, you might want to post code (use [ code ] [ / code] tags). There might be something there that someone will see.

    Premeire CS6 & photoshop "codec not found" bug fix

    I did a search on my system and found the Photoshop has a fastcore plug-in.  Creative Cloud includes a subscription version of CS6 version 13.1.2.   I do not know if you installed that or not.  The cc un-install may have done something.  You may need to use Adobe Cleaner then Install The Perpetual CS6 version of Photoshop  CS6 version 13.0.6 Mac or Photoshop  CS6 version 13.0.1.3 PC and not the subscription CS6 extended version 13.1.2.  Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6   If you need to download the CS6 installer Download CS6 products.
    You may also be able to recover your cs6 using an old system backup

  • Photoshop and default e-mail program

    I have a recurring problem trying to email from Photoshop. After opening the program and selecting a batch of pictures to send it goes to my default email program (Outlook Express), and everything works as it should. But then if I try to send a second batch it goes to Microsoft Outlook, which is not even configured for email on my computer. I have to close Photoshop and re-open it to get it to go back to Outlook Express. I know that I can just do it by creating an email and using "Attach", but it bugs me that this wont work properly on a consistent basis

    Hello,
    Try setting the email client in the preferences of Photoshop Album Starter Edition. For this, Launch Photoshop Album Starter Edition, go to Edit menu and selected preferences. Click on Email tab and select email client as "Outlook Express". Click OK. Restart of application might be required.
    Now Outlook Express should be launched every time you try to email photos from Photoshop Album Starter Edition.
    One more point, Microsoft Outlook is launched manually or by someother application and then make sure that it is not set as default. In that case "Photoshop Album Starter Edition" might launch Microsoft Outlook for emailing photos.
    Do let us know what you observe.

  • Is the Cloud going to replace the hard copy of Photoshop and every other Adobe software?

    I just got a petition web address regarding Adobe's initiative to only come out with a  Cloud  Version of CS and I assume every other of their software. Personally I dont' like "renting" or leasing, but having my own copy, car, house, appliances, software.
    Can someone confirm this please?

    Please answer the question. What plans does Adobe have for non-cloud Lightroom beyond the Lightroom 5 release?
    Adobe’s repeated evasion on this matter is deeply troubling and implies the worst — that LR5 is the end of the line. Over here, Adobe has said “The Photoshop team will provide bug fixes and security updates for Photoshop CS6 while it is still available for purchase.” No such assurance was made for Lightroom. That makes it very difficult to take it on faith that there will ever be any new features added to non-cloud Lightroom after LR5.
