Re: [Digital BW] Photoshop Create Cloud program for photographers

I can barely remember having to wait for an update to arrive in the mail. In the 21st century almost all of my software has been downloaded and it was ready just as soon as the company released it, so there’s no difference between that and Adobe’s cc updates except for how we pay for it.

I believe the theoretical (as in, yet to be proved in practice) benefit of the cloud subscription model is that an individual update can be made available to subscribers as soon as it is created. Subscribers can decide when to download and start using it. Under the old updates-on-disk model, we all had to wait for the new disk to be ready with (usually) a whole bunch of updated features, and that only happened every year or two. I guess we shall see if the new model actually begins delivering updates regularly.

This issue of more frequent updates for the cloud version is a bogus one. The cloud version still requires us to download and install updates, just as the older versions would do. So what’s the difference? It’s not like the software is being updated in the cloud on its own.
