Can I use the Creative Cloud Photography plan to edit Photo files only on my home computer?

I just setup a new Windows 10 system, graduating from a grand old WIN XP machine that had the first version of Creative Suite CC on it. I have always used Photoshop for all of my photo editing and printing. Would I be able to use the Creative Cloud Photography plan to just edit and print photo files stored on my new home computer? Thanks, Steve S.

Hi Steve,

The Photography Plan includes Photoshop and Lightroom. Yes, if you transfer the photos to the new computer you'll be able to edit and print them like before. Syncing photos to the cloud is optional and often used when transferring photos between your tablet/phone and a computer with the Lightroom Mobile app. Photoshop workflows are essentially the same as older versions, just improvements and new features. Here are some resources which might help you get started.

I don't necessarily want to synch any of my photo files to the cloud. I just want to edit the files residing on my computer and print them. Will I easily be able to do this with the Adobe.Creative Cloud Photography plan?  Steve

John, This does not simply answer my question. I don't necessarily want to synch any of my photo files to the cloud. I just want to edit the files residing on my computer and print them. Will I easily be able to do this with the Adobe.Creative Cloud Photography plan?  Steve
