But, in the process, I had an unasked for unwanted copy of Creative Cloud installed on my system, and whenever starting up LR6 the system would busily start trying to synch my 150k images to my 30-day-free-trial of Mobile that I did not ask for and did not want. Eventually I found and uninstalled the Creative Cloud application. I should not need to have to go to such extremes to opt out of paying $120/yr for something that I don’t want, don’t need, and didn’t ask for. No complaints about the program itself, just about the Adobe hegemony and its policies. stan -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
