Should I buy the newest CS6 photoshop or just do the creative cloud thing?

What are the benifits of the creative clould vs just getting the CS6 software.  Will i get everything that is in CS6 in the creative cloud?

You could also ask yourself, "Will Photoshop CS6 be useful in three years?" As of now, CC is a better investment if you don't plan on using CS6 in three years.
Current cost of Photoshop CS6:
$653.81 (Amazon) / $648.99 (Newegg)...
I agree, first time purchasers of PS may get a better deal with CC. I was referring to most of us who have been upgrading. I recently paid $199 to upgrade to CS6. I think that option is still available.

                            I would
agree with Trevor.  The people that I know at Adobe are just as
motovated to produce new features and a great product as ever...
I feel Adobe is still producing new features for CC to entice folks like me to upgrade to it -- just like with the old incentive model. But once a majority of their customer-base is on board as subscribers, I suspect significant investment to innovate will take a hit. Not because Adobe employees make that decision, they're a great bunch of folks, but because the Adobe management/marketing suits make that decision. Employees take direction from management, and management answers to the stock holders -- not us.  It's just business -- nut'n personal.

  • How can I upgrade from Photoshop CS4 to Cs 5 or 6 without buying the creative cloud?

    Well CS5's ship has sailed.
    CS6 can still be purchased on Perpetual License but it's not going to have all the bells & whistles that the current versions have.  Just as long as you understand what you're getting.

    You can't install 9.2.1 or earlier on any Mac that is only Mac OS X bootable. In fact you need to use the restore disks which came with those Macs to install 9.2.2 on those Macs. 8.6 is only possible to install on Macs which came with 8.6 or earlier. The 9.1 disk may be useful for your 1999 PowerMac G4, but won't be of any use for a 2006 Powerbook G4.

  • Can I buy the Creative Cloud in New Zealand, and use it in Qatar?

    Hi,
    I have project in Qatar, Doha and I will be based here for next year or so. So can I buy the Creative Cloud Service in NZ, where I live and use the Creative Cloud service and applications in Qatar (Middle East)? Would appreicate answer as soon as possible.
    Thanks,
    Rehan Saiyed

    Although I'm not 100% sure, I would say that as long as your registration is consistent with your NZ information, you should be able to purchase CC. This includes an Adobe ID associated with NZ as your primary country, a NZ shipping/billing address, credit card information, etc. The only problem I might see popping up is being on an IP address originating in Qatar, since internet access is required for registering and downloading apps.
    Just to be safe though, I would try contacting customer support.
    Go here: http://helpx.adobe.com/contact/ ,
    Select Creative Cloud,
    Select a topic from the dropdown menu,
    And then click "I Still Need Help"

  • When should I purchase the Creative Cloud?

    My Mac crashed not too long ago and I am currently borrowing a PC to get me through until I can purchase a new Mac. I have all of my .exe files to transfer from my old Mac to my new one, just in case, however, if I purchased the Creative Cloud now, and downloaded a couple of applications for use now, would I be able to transfer those applications to the Mac when I get it?

    Yes, of course.
    Cloud software can be used on Mac and/or PC. You just need to sign in with your Adobe ID then download and install the software on each computer individually.
    You can install, activate/deactivate the software on any computer at any time. The only condition is that you cannot activate the software for use on more than two computers simultaneously.

  • When I start the software, show me a trial modal. I don't have a serial number and I buyed the Creative Cloud

    Hello!
    I have buyed Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC and when I start the software, show me a trial modal. I don't have a serial number.
    I have only 9 days now, anyone can help me? Ah.. and sorry my english!
    Thank you.

    Cloud programs do not use serial numbers... you log in to your paid Cloud account to download & install & activate... you MAY need to log out of the Cloud and restart your computer and log back in to the Cloud for things to work

  • Can I buy the Creative Cloud from Europe?

    Can I buy the US creative cloud from Europe? There is a, unjustified 50% price difference and I want to sign up for the US version. Is that a possibility?

    Hi PillBlast,
    Welcome to Adobe Forum.
    If you have an US Adobe ID & Credit card from US, you can place order from US Adobe store & activate it.
    The reason of vast difference in price is due to Tax Structure, http://forums.adobe.com/message/4372666

  • I want to buy the Creative Cloud Photography plan that includes Photoshop and Lightroom but I currently have a plan $9.99 a month that includes only Photoshop CC. How do I switch plans?

    If you're already on an installment plan for $9.95 per month that includes only Photoshop CC, how do switch plans to obtain the combination Photoshop and Lightroom plans for the same price?

  • So I installed photoshop cc on the creative cloud thing. Now how do I open it? It has the list of apps on the browser thing and I don't see photoshop cc anywhere..

    Help. Photoshop newbie.

    OK, with windows 8.1 the apps are not automatically on the start page. At the bottom of the page you should see a downward arrow. Click on that to bring up all the apps installed on your computer. You can right click on photoshop to pin it to the start page or the desktop taskbar. In any of these places you can click on it or double click on it to run photoshop.
    If you do not see photoshop listed under the adobe apps in the all apps page, then odds are it is not installed or was installed incorrectly.
    If you need more help let us know.

  • Can I simply upgrade from CS5.5 to CS6 without doing the Creative Cloud thing?

    I don't want to start paying a monthly fee, but might be intereted in upgrading my CS5.5 to version 6.0.
    I can read the FAQ's where others have asked this question - and the answer seems to be yes, but with no instructions - and there is no where on the site that I can find it as an option.
    Help, please?

  • Understanding the Creative Cloud Plans for a first-time photoshop user

    I've never had photoshop before and I downloaded just the free 30-day trial. Then I purchased the Creative Cloud Photography plan (the one that's 9.99 a month). But I need help understanding what this offer me, because in the description this seemed to offer Photoshop and Lightroom, but I don't see an option to install those apps on my creative cloud.
    If I'm a first time user do I have to buy the creative cloud complete in order to have access to Photoshop and Lightroom?

    Here's a screenshot of what I've got right now. The apps are just saying try, not install. Do I need to purchase the products themselves and the CC is just access to the cloud?

  • Currently Own CS3 but want to upgrade to The Creative Cloud...

    I currently own Adobe CS3 but want to upgrade to the Photography Creative Cloud (Photoshop and Lightroom). Do I need to uninstall CS3 from my computer before I buy the Creative Cloud?

    No, you do not need to uninstall CS3 before installing CC.  You should still be able to use it (not sure if there will be any issues though).
    What you might try before buying is installing CC as a 30 day trial.  That will make things clear without having to chance the investment.

  • Will story's cost be looped into the Creative Cloud?

    Hi,
    I like Story - and see the release is set for a month away or so.  Is it going to be looped into the pricing for the Adobe Creative Cloud?  The Creative CLoud thing is pricey - starting at $50 a month... Whoa geez!   I only use Premiere and Story - and don't need the cloud services for the other gagillion products? 
    Can story be separate from the Creative Cloud thing, there is no way I can afford 50 a/mo.

    There will be a separate price for Story. You do not have to buy the creative cloud just to access Story. That said, it might be cheaper to subscribe to the CCM if you use multiple adobe products.
