If you stop paying for Photoshop, then it stops working. If you stop paying for Lightroom my understanding is it keeps working in a read only mode. You have access to your files with Lightroom adjustments, and you can export them with adjustments but you can no longer use any of the editing or other functions such as Import, or resave the file. If you have files stored in their cloud service (I don't), and stop paying, you can no longer upload files and you have a full year to download them or otherwise deal with them before they are no longer available. There has been a lot of misinformation being disseminated regarding the Adobe subscription service. It's not as bad as it's made out to be. I'm renting the use of both Lightroom and Photoshop. I believe it is costing me less this way than the cost of upgrading to a new version every couple of years which I tended to do to keep Adobe Raw up to date with my camera, which also seemed to change every couple of years, usually soon after the most recent Camera Raw update. bill -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
