Anyone Using Adobe Creative Cloud?

[Photo-John]

Has anyone here pulled the trigger on Adobe's Creative Cloud software service? I need to upgrade Lightroom, which will cost me $80 - about the same as three months of Creative Cloud service with the promo deal, which ends today. I'm fully aware of the controversy over Creative Cloud. But aside from that, I'm wondering if anyone here is using it and has any feedback - pro or con.

Thanks in advance for your insight!

I'm sticking to CS5 for a while yet but I see they have announced a $9.99 / month plan for a limited time.

I pulled the trigger before the full package subscription deal ended. All I've installed so far is Lightroom 5, and that was very easy. I've seen that new deal for just PS and LR (I need to write a short article!) but part of the reason I coughed up for the full deal is I also use Dreamweaver, Illustrator, and I've been wanting to upgrade to Premiere Pro. I also always need the latest version of LR for testing purposes. Put all that together and I think it's worth it to me to buy (rent) it all. So far so good

Sorry, Brad. I wanted to not do it. But I couldn't not do it. I'm still conflicted about Creative Cloud. But in order to take care of business (testing the Canon EOS 70D) it seemed like the right thing to do - even if it is a bit of a deal with the Devil.

It's hard to know yet whether it's a good or bad thing. So let us know!

Having to keep resubscribing every year (if on the yearly plan) seems painful, but for people who use all the different software, and want the latest versions, it might be a deal.

Yes its premium software, many free software are available on internet.
