The Creative Cloud is One year Old in Juat a Months Time.

Trevor Dennis May 17, 2014 12:58 AM

The Creative Cloud is One Year Old in just a months time, and that will surely be a great time for Adobe to announce a major updates. Could such an update include the long awaited fix for Windows high dip displays? Will they make such a fix available for CS6? There will be tears before bedtime if that doesn't happen, and no mistake!

I used to love those tasters Adobe released in the run up to CS6. Can we have those back please? Would that even work while the subscription model still competes with CS6 permanent licenses? So what new features will we see - assuming it even happens.

Another reason to expect significant update is that a lot of us will suddenly be paying a whole lot more for our subscriptions. My cheap as chips $20/month is going up to $50 according to a recent email Adobe sent me, and it would be nice to soften that blow with some killer features. So what will they be? Is there an AdobeRumors.com out there I don't know about?

Adobe are apparently doing more than OK with the new subscription model, with 1.8 million subscribers, and a total annual revenue of approaching a billion dollars. That's just from CC. The total numbers for everything are too scary for me to type!

I am sure, as you said it will go up to $50/- .I am not satisfied with features of CC and does not commensurate with the subscription paid (I hold PP CS6 License).I will not be renewing for the 2nd year. I may be a drop in Adobe clientele , but I am expressing my displeasure

Sorry to hear that, Bosu. Call me a fanboy, but I'm quite happy with the new features Adobe has put into the product in the past couple of years - several kinds of GPU-accelerated deconvolution and blurs, kick butt raw conversion capabilities, more filters to work on deeper data formats, new features for shape handling, detail enhancing upsampling... I really have to say, the parts I use are being improved In ways I like.

Introductory pricing is expiring for some, but so far the Photographer's bundle still seems to be holding at $9.99, which is a decent deal.

Camera RAW as a filter
Shake Reduction (not a biggie IMO — if an image is bad enough to need it, it would never be usable for me.)
Using ACR to process 32bit HDR images (Huge)
Scripted Pattern fills (I have used scripted trees in photographs and they look completely real!)
Perspective Warp
Linked Smart Objects
Generate (I don’t do web sites, but I understand this is appreciated by folk who do)
Typekit (only with full subscriptions, but something I love)
Better use of DPU acceleration
Retina display support (I actually ducked my head after typing that)
Extended 32 bit filter support.
Preserve Detail in image resize. This has to be the best uprezing tool in the world right now.
Sync settings via the cloud — I don’t use this because of my slow Internet connection.
Several killer improvements to ACR like the spot removal brush can now be brushed to the shape you want.
I understand 3D works better, and there is now 3D printer support, but they are not really my thing.

That’s all I can think of right now, but I am sure I have missed loads.

[EDIT] Dashed lines on a Path - I love that one. Just a small thing, but it's what I used to make the stitches in this mocked up illustration of a denim seam

Could you clarify that? Are you saying you have a full subscription (all the apps, and not just Photoshop) for $20 a month?

I just checked, and my card was charged NZ$55 on 16th June.

Shouldn't the cloud be two years old? My rate went to full price a year ago. The first year was cs6.

Last year I availed the introductory offer for full cloud subscription @Indian Rs1,000/p.m(then US $20/-) for existing CS customers. Now for 2nd year also it was renewed at old rate

Sounds about right.
Adobe Launches Creative Cloud

SAN JOSE, Calif. —April 23, 2012 — Adobe Systems Incorporated (Nasdaq:ADBE) today announced Adobe® Creative Cloud™

One year ago is when the mushroom cloud hit and everyone got upset because Adobe went Cloud only and perpetual licenses disappeared for CC onwards.
