Is there any offline version of Photoshop like it was until CS6? I want to use Photoshop on a computer which is not connected to the internet.

    You just download the application from internet, but they are always install on your computer. You just need internet connection every 90 days to validate your CC connection.

    And you need internet for services, like Creative Sync, TypeKit, etc

    What do you mean by "offline"?

    Photoshop doesn't have an online mode, and doesn't require an internet connection except for activation.

    Chris,

    Am I correct that Ps CC will also require an Internet connection, approximately once per month, for subscription validation?

    Unfortunately, even with all the material out there, there are a few aspects of CC, that I am not 100% clear on. There also might well be easy, acceptable workarounds too.

    Thank you,

    Hunt

    Yes, Photoshop CC does require an internet connection periodically for subscription validation.

    But I think it only needs it every 3 months or so.

    You can still buy CS6 (Photoshop 13.x); but from now on it's strictly by subscription, from Photoshop CC (Photoshop  14.x).

    Perpetual licenses of CS6 will continue to be sold indefinitely and there will be only bug fixes and possible, undefined compatibility tweaks to accommodate the OS.  No improvements or enhancements, however.

    This is the new reality—at least for now.

    After comparing the improvements of Photoshop CC vs. CS6, I came to the

    conclusion that Adobe just renamed CS6 into CC. I don't see any reason

    then to "upgrade"

    Though I am not a CC adopter (at least not yet), it might be quite fair to compare Ps CC and CS 6, just yet. Ps CC will be constantly getting improvements, Bug fixes, and other sorts of updates, on a continuing basis. What you see today, does not yet have those updates.

    Ps CS 6 will probably get some Bug fixes, and updates for OS improvement compatibility, but its "features" are locked in time, where Ps CC is a "living thing." Whether any new features will be tempting to you, is yet to be seen. Not the easiest decision, but if you have Ps CS 6, then you can adopt the CC version, if those features DO entice you later on.

    Good luck, and happy editing,

    Hunt
