Why Has Adobe Removed The Option For Individuals To Purchase Software And Not Use The Cloud?

As an individual who has been using Adobe products for about 25 years for my personal use and not as a business, I find the new policy of "renting" the software and using "The Cloud" for, at least in my case, a prohibitive monthly fee, to be totally unacceptable and will result in my no longer being able to afford using Adobe products. I do not understand why Adobe cannot offer their new cloud program for individuals and companies that may wish to use the new system and have the resources to pay in perpertuity, but they should also have the option for those of us who would rather purchase upgrades for whatever programs we use and keep them on our computer without "The Cloud" service.
I am 67 years old and living on a fixed income. I basically use four adobe programs... Photoshop, Premiere, After Effects, and Audition as I do volunteer work at a local non-profit radio and tv organization. If I were to "rent" those individually it would cost $80 per month... so I could take the next deal and get access to all software for $50 per month... I cannot afford either of those. If I could upgrade one or more of the programs every two or three years... keeping them on my computer and not using "The Cloud," then continuing to use the products would be doable. However, being forced into a program that requires a monthly fee and use of "The Cloud" which I do not need to use, seems totally unfair. I certainly understand that there are businesses and individuals who will love the new program, but why not have the option? Or perhaps a "Senior" discount as you do for educators and students?
Something to think about. It seems Adobe may be moving to the "Cable Television" model of monthly fees that will go no where but up.

Hey there, you may have heard that Adobe is continuing to sell and support CS6 for customers who prefer traditional licensing. It's last year's version instead of the latest-and-greatest CC release, but it's something to consider if that's important to you.
As far as a "senior discount" on Adobe software, there has never been one – but one thing to consider is becoming a student or teacher because there is no age restriction on that, in which case you may become eligible for education discounts.
Hope this helps.

In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button" And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?

In CC214 PS Why has adobe removed the "print Size Button" And why have they made the Brush preview window so small you can't see the effects to accurately adjust them?
These two things need to be remedied in their upgrades because It's become such a bother I've had to revert to older versions of PS.

Yea, and it's a pain to get to. What was the rational for removing the print size button? With the magnifying glass tool selected in older versions of Photoshop you would get a button that says "print size" right next to Actual pixels, Fit Screen, Fill Screen. Now I have to go out of my way and dig for it if I want to see the print size. Of all the buttons you could have taken away, why not fill screen? I never use that.
Besides the point I just downloaded the Oct Upgrade for PS and surprise! Nothing has changed and these are two big black eyes on newer versions of Photoshop. The Brush preview window is unchanged in CC but in CC2014 it's basically worthless. If you apply a texture to a brush you can't properly see the scale of the texture, the spacing, scatter, etc...

How can I purchase and download the standalone LR6 here at Hong Kong? There's no such option for me instead of forcing me to use the CC!

Order types, why do we need to create our order types and not use the stand

HI
Order types, why do we need to create our order types and not use the standard ones during implementation.

Hi Raj,
Well there is no hard and fast rule that you have to copy nad create a new order type. Its just to meet our own requirements that we copy the standard and make the changes if required to meet our business needs.
And by this way we keep unchanged the standard order type for further use.
If you are sure that the standard order type satisfies your need you can directly use that only.
I hope this clarifies the issue.
Do reward if find useful

Please assist. How can I make all the photos on my Iphone visible? and not only the recently added ones? I'm using IOS 8

Did you move to iOS 8 via iTunes? Your photos should all be on your iPhone 5s without any issues even if you updated via WiFi. The update should have no impact on your photos other than to have moved any photos in your former Camera Roll to your Photos. When opening the Photo App you should see Photos and Albums available at the bottom of the screen. You can also look at Settings>General>About and looking down the list your should see the word Photos and a Count at the right. This count should represent all of the photos in your iPhone.

I have Verizon FiOS service for phone, internet and TV but I only have one TV hooked up for it for just basic cable service with no DVR and no need for widgets. Can I use an Airport Extreme as my router and not use the FiOs router?

I want to use an Airport Extreme as my router. I currently have a Verizon FiOS router. I have Verizon for phone, internet and TV. However, TV-wise, I just have a basic service for one TV with just a regular box. No HD, no DVR. Don't need access to a menu, widgets, on-demand. Can I eliminate the FiOS Router and just use the Airport Extreme and still have phone and internet?

I know that it will increase my wireless coverage in my house but will it increase the speeds?
Not sure what you are asking here. The AirPort Extreme is only going to be as fast as the Internet connection that it receives.....which is 75/75. It cannot take a 75/75 connection and make it go any faster.
If you locate the AirPort Extreme in an area where you need more wireless signal coverage, the AirPort Extreme would deliver 75/75 in that area. But, keep in mind that the AirPort Extreme must connect to the FIOS router using a permanent, wired Ethernet cable connection.
If you are asking if the AirPort Extreme can wirelessly connect to the FIOS modem router, and extend the FIOS wireless network, the AirPort Extreme would not be compatible with a FIOS product for that purpose.

So I would like to connect my work email (Outlook) with my icloud account. It only gave me the option to automatically set up my current email address (that is the one for personal email) I would rather not have the personal on icloud but have my work o

Hello,
I hope I am posting this question in the right place.
After doing my latest update, my computer asked me to set up iCloud for my emails so that I could use Outlook to sync with my phone. (My business email is in Outlook, it would be great if I could get my calendar, etc, to sync with that. What has happened is that iCloud defaulted to my personal AOL account which I do not need for calendar, etc...on my phone. I researched and it said I could delete my iCloud acct and add a new one, however there was a flag that I would lose all pics in Photo Stream that are saved there.
Any advice on what I can do to change my iCloud account to sync with my work email rather than my personal one without losing the pics? (I guess if that's the only option, they are saved on my PC and external hard drive)
Please be patient with me as I am not computer savvy. You might need to ask me some more questions to make this clear for you to understand.
Thanks for your help.

Try going into System Prefereces then Mail, Cintacts & Calendars then click on the Microsoft Exchange link on the right. Type in your email address and password and allow it to set it up automatically.
Make sure your Mac is updated to the newest version of Mail.
If that still fails then I suggest you switch email clients. I don't care for the built in mail program. IMHO it is very buggy.

I cannot see the option for face time of open and close in iphone 4s

Plzzz tell me no facetime option for on and off is nott comming in settings help me plzzz

There is no FaceTime app for the iPhone if that's what you're asking. FaceTime is accessible through your Contacts as one of the options in how to contact a person -- there is no standalone FaceTime app for iPhone.
If you mean how to disable FaceTime, you can do that in Restrictions (Settings/General/Restrictions).

Why my adobe lightbox gallery widget works well on "live view" and not well in the browsers?

Hi I need help with adobe lightbox gallery.I am building a website using dreamweaver cs5.
My problem is that the gallery works perfect in "live view" but when I check it in the browsers the pictures do not show at all.
What am I doing wrong .Please help.
Thank you

Hi All:
From my experience with other people having problems with the widget, here are some things you can check when it doesn't work:
Names with uppercase characters: Some servers don't see a difference between "images" and "Images" but most of them do: Check that the paths to the folders and files are correctly written. I encourage people to use always lowercase characters. Same applies to spaces (I prefer to use an underscore instead)
"scripts" folder: I've also found that some servers don't allow a folder called "scripts". You should change both the folder name and the paths in the main document.
Paths: This is the most common one: Make sure that the paths to the required files are correct. In theory, you shouldn't find this when the document is at the site root. If the document is inside a folder, sometimes files' location and related paths may vary. If you are using CS5 or above, a good trick is using the related files toolbar and check whether DW can find and open the files.
Upload all the required files: Some users forget to upload the "lightbox" folder, located inside "images". That folder contains the images used by the lightbox to work (nav and close buttons, for example). And also check that the paths to those images is correct. In this case, you can edit the paths in the parameters that you will find in the script code added to the document (names are quite self explanatory and every param is commented, so this shouldn't be a problem)
I hope this helps.

How do I stop the google search remembering what places I have been when I type in a letter. I don't really want all the options for that letter showing up when I type the first letter of the search if I am using the computer with someone else

Hi,
The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.
If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox ''Help'' menu and select ''Submit Feedback...'' or use [https://input.mozilla.org/feedback this link]. Your feedback gets collected at http://input.mozilla.org/, where a team of people read it and gather data about the most common issues.
Wrong place to try.
I am sorry but Firefox 29 / Australis Development, and design policy decisions are again off topic on this forum. (We did initially temporarily suspend that forum policy so that people had a chance to say something)
I am sorry but we are only fellow users of Firefox there are no Developers here to see or answer these questions. It only diverts attention and effort from trying to help users with problems.
Please See for example a long recently closed thread.
* ''The I-do-not-like-Firefox-29-layout topic'' [/questions/998106]
That thread includes
*A quote of a developer's comment,
* Suggestions of where you may discuss this, or post feedback
*Helpful information for those with problems from the Firefox 29 changes
* An extract of current forum rules
If you need help and wish to continue using the current Release of Firefox please post another question making that clear and we will do our best to help
If you post again it would help to know the exact message you got and possibly a screenshot (Forum software does not permit screen shots on the first post but you could link to a site with the screenshot on)
I will close this thread as off topic.

That is poor type layout.
European languages read left to right, a ragged left edge is the worst possible layout for listed data.
The only circumstance you should use the left/right alignment is in header/footers for running heads and page numbers wheer they are widely separated and therefore easy to scan as individual short snipetts of text.

When closing firefox 4.0 with multiple tabs open, i wish to save this setup when i reopen firefox. the option to save my setup is now not in the prompt. only that i'm closing multiple tabs. how do i do this?

in the older version of firefox, you were prompted when you were closing multiple tabs. but you were also given the option of saving the current setup so that when you reopened firefox, this current setup would reopen also. how do i make this happen with firefox 4.0?since i updated to firefox 4.0, there is no obtion given to save my current setup.

You can change Firefox preferences so that you also get the option to save the current tabs when quiting:<BR><BR>
# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message about being careful and you will see a list of settings.
# Type '''browser.showQuitWarning''' into the ''Filter'' box at the top.
# If its value is ''false'', double-click on it to change it to ''true''.
