Big Creative Cloud Announcement June 18

Trevor Dennis May 31, 2014 4:24 PM

Do we have any more details on this:

http://petapixel.com/2014/05/27/adobe-will-revealing-next-evolution-creative-cloud-june-18 th-keynote/

I've been hunting round for the source of the various reports, but they all say the same thing, which is nothing much. We guessed there would be big updates as we came round to the CC's 1st birthday, and it looks l like being mega. Hopefully it will be enough to soften the blow, as the cost of a full subscription goes from the discounted $20/month, to a not insignificant $50/month. I was kind of hoping that the reduced cost of the Photography bundle deal might be reflected with a wee reduction for a full subscription, but I guess that was just a dream.

I still have a strong feeling that all those people who stuck with CS6 are going to have second thoughts after the announcement. Anyone like to hazard a guess as to what new features we might see in Photoshop?

OK, this is old but interesting:

It's scary because we stand to lose some third party extensions, but it says the next version will be a new and separate installation, which will work alongside 14.2.1. It does not sound conducive to the streamlined workflows we get to love after using PS for a long time, but it is at least doable.

I would hate, with a vengeance, to lose GuideGuide for instance, unless similar features are included with the next PS update. If it is a separate installation, I also guess it will be 15.0. Does that sound reasonable?

Our old friends ProDesignTools have fleshed it out a bit:

In the days of Creative Suite and earlier we would all be salivating and speculating wildly about the new and improved features - and working out if they were revolutionary ("gotta have it") or evolutionary ("meh").

That "Christmas Eve" excitement seems to me to have disappeared. The magic is lacking a little. Hasn't set the world alight yet.

I'm curious but not losing sleep over the announcement. We'll see soon enough I guess.

And now there's yet another naming convention to learn:

OP: My software's not working

Forum regular?: "which version have you got"

OP: Cloud

FR: yes but which version? CS6 or CC 2013 or CC 2014?

OP: the latest one. All patches up to date.

FR: yes but which version? CS6 or CC 2013 or CC 2014?

OP: Cloud 2?

FR: There is no Cloud 2. There's CS6 then there's Cloud 2013 the Clou.....................etc

OP Dunno. How do I find out? But I know I'm paying for it and I'm mad as hell since it won't work and I've got a critical deadline in 60 minutes....

FR: ......................................................................................... .........

Goodness, I didn't think of that, but you are so right. I think all forum regulars should have a list of boilerplate first responses to deal with such responses. I added links to the Elements forum, and 'Learn PSCC on Adobe TV' to my bookmarks toolbar a while back to make them quickly accessible, and have a folder on my desktop called Forum JPGs. The idea of the latter is obviously to have images ready for oft repeated posts, but I usually seem to end up doing them again, so not such a good plan. :-(

Any excitement about possible new toys, is for me being compromised by worries about the impact of HTML5 knocking out some favourite old Extensions. I can't imagine anyone removing CC 2013 from their system.

Yep, be fun to see what extra fallout, minefields and unforeseen traps we're going to have to deal with across the product range.

No doubt there'll be a huge new slew of Adobe technotes and workarounds for whatever new repetitive issues and weird errors rear their ugly heads.

I just hope the new toys restore my faith in Adobe's previously unmatched ability to innovate and inspire me.

Don't forget the version numbers: Photoshop CC is v 14, CS6 is v 13. Kinda throws me off when I don't know off the top what v refers to what CS/CC.

My point exactly. I anticipate it's not going to get more clear any time soon.

Same here so I've got this link permanently available at a moment's notice.

I got as far as Googling covert 1pm ET to my time, and it worked out to a very unsociable 5am (i am not sure about the ET or EDT thing), so I guess I'll check it out when I eventually get up.

0500 NZST/1300 EDT timeanddate.com is a handy reference of the timezones and their proper names.

Thanks. My confusion is if daylight saving is assumed in the scheduled time, or strictly ET without daylight saving? Either way, I am not getting up that early!

It's EDT (Eastern Daylight Savings Time) Mar 9th - Nov 2nd and EST (Eastern Standard) otherwise. I guess Adobe assumes everyone knows what flavor, so they go with the generic ET.

That's 1000 PDT where I live, but I have a doctor's appointment. I'll have to play catch up when when that's finished.
