Wondering if it would be worth it for me to switch to the creative cloud

I got CS 6 around christmas time, but see that LR5 is going to be coming out soon, as well as rumors that CS7 wont be too much further behind. I checked and I am elgible for the upgrade price for a year. I use PS and LR strictly for photography, and not sure if I would get any use with any of the other creative cloud programs (not real familiar with them). I know no one can speak specifically about me, just looking for some general oppinions.

How nice of you to remember, Noel! I'm flattered.
Thank you, everything is going fine with my three Mac systems. Right now I have three dedicated machines:
1.— A Mac Book, literally rescued from the trash, running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, which allows me to run ACR 7.4 on Ps CS6. CS5 is also on that system, which is pretty much a dedicated Ps/ACR system;
2.— A pretty fast PPC G5 Quad running Tiger 10.4.11 with 16 GB of RAM on which I run Photoshop CS4 on which I do 99.9% of all my Ps work that does not require ACR, and various older versions of Illustrator, InDesign, Acrobat Professional, MS Office, several web browsers, etc. No need at all to upgrade any of those. Other than ACR 7.x, I need no additional functionality beyond what Ps CS4 offers, and it is lightning fast on this machine;
3.— A Dual PPC G4 that can boot directly into Mac OS 9.2, on which I run now-three-decades-old custom software that we have touched on in the past and which cannot be replaced or upgraded but which at the time cost as much as a nice Mercedes S Class sedan costs these days, as well as SCSI hardware (film and large-format scanners) that I could not even dream of being able to afford to replace with modern equivalents.
Other than the physical floor space they occupy, some 6 sq.ft. (3'x2'). as monitors, mouse, tablet and keyboard are shared, they represent no obstacle whatsoever.
What else would you like me to share?

Is there an offical app from Adobe for Android that can access the Creative Cloud files?

I have found one app but it was not made by adobe and was not recomended by any reviews. Is there an official app for the Creative Cloud?

First, to answer your initial question - no there is no way to access the clipboard content outside of the apps at this time.
The idea of exporting a timelapse is very interesting, and something we have been thinking about, but there are already some decent ways to do this. Check out this video of a drawing in Line created by Brian Yap Adobe Ink and Adobe Line Illustration - YouTube
You can create this kind of video using several of the available apps that let you display your iPad screen on your computer using Airple. Some examples are Reflector http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/ and AirServer http://www.airserver.com/

How do I get the trial version for Photoshop CS6 extended from the Creative Cloud Trial

Hello ...
Plz I wanted to downlad the trial version of Photoshop CS6 Extended and I followed this link
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop&loc=en_us
Then I chose this option : Option 2: Join Creative Cloud and download now (Recommended - it's free)
Then the adobe application manager has been installed and the photoshop CS6 started to be installed automaticaaly and after it done , I found it the standard version not the Extended ... So how and where can I get the Extended version for both 32 bit and 64 bit?
Your prompt reply is highly appreciated
Thank you ....

So if you download the trial from the trial page at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop you get Photoshop CS6 Extended. When you then remove the trial and reinstall from the Adobe Application Manager with your trial Creative Cloud you only see the Standard version?
If this is so you can try reviewing your installation logs by following the steps listed in Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/troubleshoot-install-logs-cs5-cs5.html. Although your 30 day trial has already begun. I would recommend for now you just remove the installation and install from the trial page so that you can try the extended features.

Why is adobe charging me twice a month for a single subscription to the creative cloud?

In my account transaction history page there are two charges on the same date with unique transaction numbers. Anyone else here being double charged?

Some customers were accidentally double-charged on December 30; however, all of these customers have already been issued a credit.

I used to be able to right click on an image, a pop menu would show an option for properties. Where is the properties click option?

Make sure you have signed in with correct email address

if the email address is correct then check your host file entries once

I am an educator. I signed up for the Creative Cloud account, believing I would have access to all

I am an educator. I signed up for the Creative Cloud account, believing I would have access to all the programs. Is this incorrect? When I try to download and install the programs, it tries to charge me 19.99 for each or set me up on a trial.

Hi,i just bought the Creative cloud membership and i would want to know why is t one year policy and you payed alot of money and still pay for the next month? Annual means yearly right ? why do i have to pay another next month.

Hi i just want to know i bought the creative cloud and photoshop and premiere. All those and it said annual meaning i have to pay for the next year right? But why did it said that i have to pay for the next month? What happens when i didn't pay the next month ?

You may buy an annual subscription and pay monthly, or a straight monthly subscription... and, being a subscription, if you stop paying the software stops working
If you want a one time payment, and you can use 3+ year old software, go to Creative Suite 6

Does the Creative Cloud app on Mac have to launch at login to check for updates?

I don't really care to have the Creative Cloud app on my Mac running all the time. I don't use any of the features for it other than to update apps.
If I UNcheck "Launch at login"....will I still get notified of updates?
-Kevin

I certainly didn't have the Application Manager running all the time in CS6. Adobe must have had a background process checking for updates because in CS6 where there was an update, I would get the update icon in my menubar.
What I'm wondering now is.....does CC have a similar process that will notify me of updates? I don't want to have to manually launch the Creative Coud app just to check.

Can I purchase Photoshop CS for the 1st time through the Creative Cloud?

I currently have Lightroom 4 and wish to upgrade to LR5. I would also like to purchase Adobe PS CS6 for the 1st time. I have never owned a PS CS product, so I'm wondering if I can buy into the Creative Cloud program for $9.99 or do I need to already own some version of PS CS?

You can get the PS CS6 version from CC too :

Is there any program in the Creative Cloud I can use as an alternative for Power Point?

I need to make a powerpoint presentation and I was wondering if any of the Apps in the Creative Cloud work efficiently for this?

Not really. The Adobe equivalent would be Captivate and it's not part of CC. Depending on what you need, you could creatively use Edge Animate, Flash or Muse to build a web-based slideshow and run it in fullscreen, though.

Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

HOW TO DELETE FILES or FOLDERS or Assets from Adobe Creative Cloud Brouser/Web Portal By: Kai Buskirk rev:130626
Adobe now burried deleting or trashing unwanted iteams files or folders in the Archive section of your creative cloud brouser/web portal.
Note!! - No longeer is there a standard TrashCan icon or simple Delete button... its burried in the archive sector: but why i ask?
An archive is an accumulation of historical records, or the physical place they are located.[1] Archives contain primary source documents that have accumulated over the course of an individual or organization's lifetime, and are kept to show the function of that person or organization. Professional archivists and historians generally understand archives to be records that have been naturally and necessarily generated as a product of regular legal, commercial, administrative or social activities.
In general, archives consist of records that have been selected for permanent or long-term preservation on grounds of their enduring cultural, historical, or evidentiary value. Archival records are normally unpublished and almost always unique, unlike books or magazines for which many identical copies exist. This means that archives (the places) are quite distinct from libraries with regard to their functions and organization, although archival collections can often be found within library buildings
A person who works in archives is called an archivist. The study and practice of organizing, preserving, and providing access to information and materials in archives is called archival science. The physical place of storage is sometimes referred to as an archive repository.
To delete files folders or individual assests in the current incarnation of adobe creative cloud brouser/web portal rev:130626
1 - Check mark the box on left and select files or folders you would like Deleted/Trashed and move them to the ARCHIVE folder location inside your adobe creative cloud brouser/web portal....Then navigate to the ARCHIVE SECTION
2 - Once the files or folders you have check marked are moved to the ARCHIVE folder location you can select them for Permanant Deletion (Trash)
ps: you can also restore them......if you so choose....
3 - in case you missed this step after selecting/checking the files or folders in the ARCHIVE folder there is a small Triangle Selector drop down that will reviel the Permanently Delete option.... clicking that is the point of no return i think..... so do not be misled my the use of the term ARCHIVE.... DELETING PERMANANTLY IS DELETING YO!
4 - OK DONE NOW YOU GOT IT .....
Good Luck Happy House Cleaning.....
Wamest Blessings,
