I am currently using the Master collection CS5, and I am thinking to upgrade to CS6 or CS6.5 the current versions.

I heard Adobe is  coming up with  CS7...  Is it going to be Master Collection CS7 ?

Also I heard you have to pay a monthly fee..  Is that true ?

Please let me know

Thanks

Simon..

      Station_Two has covered the high points (or maybe "low points") of the future of Adobe software, Ps included.

      Ps CS 6 is the end of the line. Adobe stopped shipping boxes with physical media a while back. They were advertising that they would continue to provide the CS 6 programs via download, but I have not seen a cut-off date for that.

      The CS 6 programs are still available, but in limited quantities. One user in the Premiere Pro Forum just bought a boxed version of CS 6 Production Premium (Ps, AI, PrPro, After Effects, etc.) from B&H Photo, and it was one of last boxes that they had.

      As for upgrades, along with the upgrade path (which versions one can upgrade FROM - this changed recently), one might find a few of those available too, but they need to check that they have a qualifying product - remember, that just changed.

      I do not know if Adobe is still selling upgrades to their CS 6 programs via download, but again, and if they are, I would act quickly, as EVERYTHING will be CC (Creative Cloud) licensing very soon - June 17th has been announced. I would assume that at that time, Adobe will completely discontinue everything related to CS 6 programs.

      Good luck,

      Hunt

      Bad info Hunt...Adobe has (repeatably) stated that while there will be no further upgrades to CS6 other than bug fixes and OS required mantainance updates, all of the CS6 products will contintue to be sold and supported for the forseeable future.

      It's only CC products that will be getting new features into the future.

        Mr.Jeff

        So If I want the whole Suite since I am a CS5 user, I have to pay $29.99, and that is Downloadable only no box am I correct ?…

        Yes, no box.  A subscription is just that: a subscription that expires when the payments stop.  The End.

        …What If I want the full year subscription , is it going to be cheaper than $29.99 ?

        No, that is the monthly price for the suite if you commit for a whole year, and that price is for just the first year.  It goes to $49.99 per month after that, and after the second year it can go as high as Adobe wants.

        …So Technically, we are Leasing the software… ?

        Not just "technically", but factually, as per contract, and legally.


        Ok, It is $29.99 a Month. And release date is June 17. So, what If you purchase it before June 17th, are you going to miss special updates or plug-ins?

        Is it better to purchase on or after June 17th ?

        The cloud storage,,, is it an extra storage for your files on the server ?

        What if you don't want to put your files in the server, you want to keep them In your Hard Drive only.

        Thanks...

        There will never be a CS7.  It will be called Photoshop 14.x and will be released as Photoshop CC on June 17.

        Yes, it will be by subscription only and you lose all rights to the license if you ever discontinue the mothly rental fee payments,  At the end you have nothing.

        CS6 will continue to be sold as the only perpetual license, as it is now.  No updates or bg fixes.  At one point it won't work with newer operating systems.

        Welcome to the world of the Adobe monopoly.

          Because they can.

          They'll make a lot more money.

          As you can gather, we area all users like you in these forums.

          Do a forum and a Google search; this topic has been rehashed ad nauseam.

          In short, if we are not the type of user to whom this subscription model appeals, Adobe doesn't want us as customers in the future.  Period.
