Hi ,

I Would like to just buy a standalone copy, not enter into a monthly agreement for storage in a cloud I don't need.

Am I reading the process all wrong?  This seems to be the only option I've been given when trying to buy photoshop.

Can someone here help?

Paul

    Can I get     Photoshop         without   CC    for a single upfront cost?  

    That is buy the program. Without any monthly costs. Without obligatory connection to a cloud.

    I have hard drives.

    ‌You may still be able to get PS CS6 directly from Adobe.

    Regarding the Creative Cloud applications, you don't have to be connected to use them. You download the application in the normal way, and the system automatically checks (once a month I think) that you're up-to-date with your subscription. It's very straightforward and you have quick access to updates. And, if you don't  want to use the software for a bit, you can suspend payment till you need it again.

    You could buy Photoshop Elements 14 as a standalone application for around $70.

    But is that the whole program or an abridged version for the masses?

    Yes, it's Photoshop lite, but unless you're a Photoshop power user it will probably do you!
