Dude, the Adobe Cloud is locally running normal Adobe applications. It's identical to the normal offering, just with updates forever if you keep paying. ;^)

Ooooh, that Adobe Cloud. I thought they had some cloud-hosted version of Lightroom that I hadn't heard of yet. Doh!
If/when my wife needs to upgrade her copy of CS (we'll see -- depends on what versions her clients insist on using), I'll have to look into this for her.
Then we have officially reached the point of "different strokes for different folks!" My camera is shooting somewhere in the 4000x3000 range, but I don't have a problem with letting the Picasa uploader scale them down to 1600 x 1064 so I can fit under the free storage rule. I also don't shoot much video, and if I did, it wouldn't likely be over 15min.
Rym and Scott are the exception however. Even though some of them (Scott) try to paint themselves as the rule at times.
You mean just Scott. I know I'm an abberation. ;^)

However, most any good camera is better than 1600 x 1064, so if you use just Picasa like that, you're ruining your photos and losing information unless you also store them somewhere else for a master backup.
Yeah, the local originals (and their cloud backup) are all high res straight off the camera. Picasa just syncs a compressed version to the web album so I can show grandma my photos. If I actually needed to get an original for some reason, I could log into my cloud backup from anywhere and pull it down.
There's only one reason I still use Flickr instead of Picasa, and that is the price. As I said. Flickr is $25 a year for unlimited.
I'm pretty sure it's ten bucks cheaper if you pay for two years - I know mine cost me about 40 bucks.
Lightroom 4 isn't included in the cloud CS6 yet. It will be, but not immediately.
If you're having Adobe problems I feel bad for you son, you got 99 problems but the price ain't one. Seriously, every person I know, professional or not, using adobe, uses pirated adobe. Mostly because, for example, the master package is about two thousand dollars more here than in the US, unless you do some dodgy stuff and break their website so that it gives you the US price.
IF you can even buy CS6 here, last I looked, we could only buy CS5.5.
And some American corporations have wondered why we're having a parliamentary inquiry into the bullshit they pull.
Can you still just download the official trials of adobe shit on their website and use a keygen with it to unlock the full versions?
Also, Adrive gives you a free 50gigs of cloud storage and you can make as many accounts as you want. Its interface is kinda shitty but if you just need a basic offsite backup for something you won't be updating much, then this works fine. While at college I uploaded pretty much my whole music library to one of them because "why the hell not?"

No, I think they've finally stopped that with their phone home bullshit. I have a copy on a thumb-drive on my bookshelf, I pretty much never use it, but I pirated it anyway, because fuck adobe, if I need it, I have it.
Aw shit. Well, I've got CS4 lying around on one of my hard drives though I rarely use it. I really just use Gimp for any photo editing which is a rare occasion as it is.

There is a way around it, but the majority of image editing that I do I can either achieve with simple tools, or use more complex online tools. But if I need any adobe applications, I've already got the cracked version right there.
Here's my question: Why the fuck is Audition cs6 as expensive as 1 year of adobe cloud?
Adobe is crazy.
Actually, looking at the prices, it seems like that the upgrade price at $30/month is worth it to someone upgrading from CS5.5, but that depends heavily on what you've got. $30/month for 12 months (since Adobe plans on yearly updates) is $360, but the upgrade to Design Premium (what my wife uses) is $375. An upgrade to CS6 Master is $575, so then it starts to make some sense. Of course, if you're upgrading, you get shafted if you pay the full $50/month price either way.
True, the upgrade prices go back several versions. I just picked CS5.5 as that's what I currently have via the spousal overunit (though technically the last version she paid for was CS5 as she was able to upgrade to 5.5 for free during its free upgrade window).
Looking at all the prices, it does make sense for her to go the Adobe Cloud route if/when she needs to upgrade to CS6, assuming that they don't ditch the discount for current users.
I have a question about the Cloud. Can you use it without an internet connection? Like, if I am on the train, can I use Adobe? How often does it need to verify using an internet connection?
Hmmmm. Creative Cloud is $30/mo for students, which is absurdly good for getting the entire CS6 Master Suite for a year, but you can't pay month-to-month. As a college student, I'm not 100% on signing on for a $360 commitment, but I'm seriously considering it.
I don't have a second machine for the warez research right now, and given what Lou said in that other thread about the safety of VMs, I might not start that blog till I do.
In fact, I think I'm going to pay for Adobe Creative Cloud and then nuke my desktop once I get home.

My trial expired. I was waiting for the cloud to not have to pay just for it.
Now, waiting.

Adobe is making a smart move. I plan to talk about this at length on the next Monday show.
