The privacy setting that is, according to 'Staff', located within the Help/Adobe Product Improvement Program. CS6 says to turn this off, go to the Privacy Settings, Located on the trial Experience Screen! That does not exist!

Again, what privacy setting?

The only thing that might have any privacy would be the Product Improvement Program - and that shouldn't even be available on a trial.

Well it is! If you can't think of anything more relevant, don't bother replying!

You are going to have to tell us a lot more about what you're are talking about and trying to do.

Uh, let's see...Chris Cox is an Adobe engineer that writes code for Photoshop and you are, what, using the trial for Photoshop? If Chris is telling you something you would be wise to listen.

As far as I know, there is no "privacy setting" in the actual Photoshop application...so where are you trying to access or change these privacy settings?

Adobe has a Privacy Policy here...but it's not directly related to Photoshop per se.

OK Chris, This is about a problem that is covering Adobe forums as everyone wants an answer - including me. When one launches the trial of CS6, a msg box opens that says:- "Terms and Conditions for trial software. We may ask you to provide us with optional information so that we can taylor content for you. You can turn off this customised content at ant time by going to the Privacy Settings located on the trial experience screen." Two replies from 'Staff' say yes, it's easy, just go to Help/Adobe Product Improvement Program and turn it off there. Well I, and many others, cannot find it there or anywhere else. Do you have any idea as to what they mean? Rgds

Are you one with an attitude. Chris wrote the the programs was not available for trial users. He may well be right for he works for Adobe as a Photoshop programmer. Have you even looked at Photoshop CS6 help to see if the program is there.

You did and you did not find it there so why do you not believe what Chris wrote is correct. Why would Adobe want feedback from trial users most of which don't know how to use Photoshop. Adobe does not seem to use feedback well even from knowable users just look are Photoshop.com feedback.

You are correct.

The privacy settings will be those of the "trial experience" and that has nothing to do with the APIP.

Maybe this image will help:

OK That seems to be the problem then. I have never run with a trial install for you can not install it as a standard Photoshop install it always installs with the extended features enabled and there is not way to turn them off.

Perhaps it only shows once during the installation never to be seen again.

That's the screen you see if you are running the software as a trial, after having logged-in with one's Adobe ID.

Click on the Privacy Settings link identified by conroy above and you see this screen:

Having VMs to test with is handy. You can have your Photoshop licensed and trial it too.
