I made the move to cc just before Christmas ad they made a good offer that would equal my policy of updating every other update i.e. 3,5, cc etc. I do not and at present never would use their cloud based storage for workflow. I was not affected by the down time. I still have 5 installed on my machines and would have used that as a back up.

To be honest cc has no features that I need cs5 does all I need. If capture one had a clone stamp, a heal brush, better selection tools and allowed you more layers I would probably no longer need photoshop at all. Now there's a thought.

Kind regards

I too am on the verge of moving over. From my understanding even if there is a failure such as this you should still be able to use the software on your hard drive and of course the files you have on your own drives.

It is therefore important that all work is backed up locally and not just on the cloud. Really just sensible housekeeping to ensure you are not caught out.

It's just the same as before. Don't put all your eggs in one basket and you should be ok.

Hello Tony.

I've not been personally affected by this but a friend who works for a university was.

Am just in the process of moving to CC in the next month or so, depending on the logistics and total price.
Its the one thing I'm worried about operating via the cloud for some applications, that and if internet access goes down at a critical moment it could be really annoying.

I wonder if other listers are at a point where they are considering moving to CC ?

Was anyone on this list affected by the Adobe CC server going down last week for a day? Apparently it left users locked out from their CC files and unable to use their software according to the MacUser UK website, link below.
