Anybody else experience the worst the programes ever ran. I'm really thinking bout letting this subscription go and get the pirate version. At least I can edit a full set of photos without having to restart computer after export, edit, ect.

Personally I consider the term »pirated« in this context an absurd masterstroke of marketing. 

Piracy in a non-software-context describes a crime of violence; in the software context is is obviously far from that. 

 

But asice from terminology: If someone (possibly in a creative field) expects to get paid for their work it should be clear to them that software makers would merit the same consideration.

First off: Obviously you should not consider violating Adobe’s intellectual property rights and announce it, to boot … 

 

What are the actual problems you are experiencing?

What are the exact programm and OS versions, hardware, …?
