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.

        Jeff,

        Thank you for the correction. So it is ONLY the boxed physical media, that will no longer be available, and that the download versions (full, or upgrade), will continue to be sold, even after the full release of the CC licensing?

        Do you happen to have a link to that statement?

        Thanks,

        Hunt

        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.

          They're just trying to copy Microsoft. All indications are that Microsoft is doing well with this ridiculous subscription policy. I believe it's a short-sighted view because there are a lot of machines that won't get the update and eventually we're going to soon get smaller and she's in the marketplace little word processors little spreadsheets and they will start infringing on that market of Microsoft. Same thing for Adobe there's already tools that match acrobat for most users not everybody needs the high-end intense capabilities of CS6..

          We might just need to have acrobat with basic editing. Well you don't need to buy the whole sweet for that you can get a small package that has that capability and you can make PDFs you can print you can do everything but it won't cost you a lot alike updates you get everything. More of those come out bit by bit they're losing market share and eventually they got to go under. Software piracy is like illegal immigration it helps to build the market it creates a need because the people who temporarily pirate the software will it actually pay for it volume.

          Private users  illegally using one or two licenses doesn't have anybody.  What it does do is build a mean it's great Proficiency in a tool and then when they're in the office or somewhere commercial they will need to buy it


          not everybody needs the high-end intense capabilities of CS6..

          How many people actually need cars with 4x4 capabilities?

          And how many buy them nonetheless? 

          Software piracy is like illegal immigration it helps to build the market it creates a need because the people who temporarily pirate the software will it actually pay for it volume.

          I dislike the term »software piracy« but it seems to be very efficient branding.

          »Piracy« used to describe a crime of violence – involving the application of force or at least its threat (including bodily harm).

          In contrast the unlicensed use of software would rather deserve to be considered as a form of property offence. 

          But »piracy« makes it sound so much more drastic, doesn’t it?
