I've been a custumer of Photoshop since PS4 back in the nineties... I'm not interested in working in the cloud, nor online...

Is there any "normal" option to upgrade my CS6 version normally ?

I feel like being left over by Adobe...

No cool 😞

      CS6 was/ is the last standalone version. From here on, new versions will only be available as subscription.

      I'm seriously considering leaving Adobe. I've been on the subscription model for a few years now. Been using Photoshop since version 5, flash and Dreamweaver before they were with Adobe. The current subsription only model It is not cost effective and I find I would be better off purchasing, upgrading as needed and when able to as directed by the current market. Customer service with Adobe is terrible, I find they don't listen to their customers, most times you dealing with a call center in India. The online model is not working. I'm looking for an alternative.

        It's a pity... No other choice than to switch to something else then I'm afraid... I know it's not the same but I'll start investigate Gimp or whatever I'm going to find...

        I really don't understand. What's the point in working Photoshop in the cloud when you're on a portable with no connection ?

        Rather stupid...

        And much moe expensive i the long term then buying a licence...

        Thumbs down for Adobe...

        At least Lightroom is still available for download !

          I will not be using Photoshop anymore either. I hate subscription based. So someone has a version of Photoshop they bought and they need to open a file. Now if they don't want to subscribe to photoshop they have to, to be able to open the file. I still have Photoshop 6 but after I have to upgrade this which won't be for awhile I will be finding another program to use. I am in the Graphic Design field but will make something else work. And it's not just me. My company will be doing the same thing. Sorry but I think this will be what some people will do. It probably won't hurt Adobe because they are so big but hopefully it will make it so other programs are invested in and updated. Adobe shouldn't be the only option out there anyway. Even though I've used photoshop for over 15 years and I love it. I don't love it anymore.
