Question

Creative Cloud- no thanks...headed to Gimp I guess

Not that Adobe cares about my humble opinion...but as a user of Ps since about '99, I gotta say the whole CC approach sucks for a user like me. Slow internet and a computer that is already pretty full. Ps CC just makes it all bog down to useless. I've had full versions of CS for a long time and there's no viable option for me. I just wanted to voice my complaint. I know there's a lot of defenders, but you probably have fast internet and fast computers.

No more outright versions...can't function without the stupid CC. sigh...you've lost a 20 year customer to your new biz model. A customer willing to fork over $100's for a stable one-time version.

Guess I'll try out Gimp or paintshop or something else. This sucks Adobe! I've seen so many other threads on the internet of people in a similar situation. The CC opens in the background no matter what you do. Takes up precious bandwidth and RAM...

or if someone could just upgrade a few tools in elements would be fine. Elements runs like I wish Ps full would run. Check your task manager and see how much crap Ps CC opens up when you run it. It's ridiculous. A crying freakin' shame actually. Seems like Adobe is just trying to bleed me dry. Anyways. just wanted to complain, nothing more.

Ps CC sucks!

    You should post this on Adobe Feedback site....Photoshop Family Customer Community

    If you are a 20 year user you should  have a perpetual CS6 or other perpetual licence cancel your subscription remove all of CC including CS6 if installed run Adobe cleaner and install your perpetual version of Photoshop you will not have to learn GIMP UI...

    IMO the problem is not the new biz model the problem is all the bugs that are being let out of Adobe doors.

    CS6 isn't working properly since I installed CC. I tried re-installing already...figured that adobe was blocking me somehow.

    One day on Gimp and it's doing everything I want so far.

    I don't need fancy stuff. Just making basic maps and diagrams from pdfs and jpegs.

    CC broke my Perpetual CS6 foe some reason it tried to update it and broke it instead and CS6 reported it was version 13.0 and  update Update would fail with an error.  To Fix it  I use the CS6 installer to install CS6 on top of the broken CS6  this  back level CS6 to a working 13.0 level CS6.   Then I use the the creative Cloud desktop application to update it.  Update worked and CS6 was then a  level 13.1.2 the subscription version od CS6.  There two Perpetual version of CS6  Mac version 13.0.6 and Windows version 13.0.1.3
