Question

Photoshop CS5 or Photoshop Cloud?

Good afternoon everyone,

I am a self-made artist and have been designing pictures with CS5 for several years. I do this with the help of various media, such as additional software, photos, regular watercolor paints or completely freehand.
I am faced with the question of getting the cloud version of Photoshop. But I'm looking for decisive advantages or improvements over CS5.
Can someone give me a little help?

Best wishes
Kay Weber

To sum up: the one overriding advantage of CC over CS5 is that it will keep you working. CS5 may stop working at any time, depending on what you do to the rest of your system.

 

All the rest is ultimately unimportant.

Until Adobe break it with one of their updates 😉

If you plan to someday update your OS or the whole computer the question may become moot because Photoshop CS5 will not provide infinite upward compatibility.

If you should work with Smart Objects the option of using Layer Comps on Smart Object instances might proof useful.
