What are your thought's on Adobe's announcement of them abandoning Creative Suite for Creative Cloud? For those of you who haven't heard, Adobe's extremely popular Creative Suite is no more. CS6 is the last generation and will be replaced by CC. The difference? CS was a package of programs released every year or so, each package costing roughly $1000. CC will be a cloud based subscription where you pay $50 a month for the same package that will constantly be updated instead of replaced yearly. Individual programs can be rented instead of the whole package for $20 a month if that's all you need. Personally, I think I'll be in favor of this change. CC is supposed to have more features such as 20GB of cloud storage and it should be cheaper as it'll only cost about $600 dollars a year. Then again, before you'd be able to but a Creative Suite for $1000 and stick with it for a few years, saving you a couple hundred at the expense up newer updates and features. Likewise, Photoshop will cost you $20 a month ($240 a year) instead of $500 before. Also, if you were one of the many people who illegally acquired Photoshop before, doing so in the future may be more difficult. Just to clarify, these will still be programs on your computer, not web or browser based. Though, they're supposed to tie heavily into Adobe's cloud service. I expect it to be much like Google Docs with Drive.
