Good synopsis Bruce. Two things I notice in their PR piece. First, they seem to assume that Adobe users are, or desire to be, part of a world-wide creative community. This seems to ignore those users who just want to sit quietly and use the tools on their own, without extensive sharing, collaboration, etc. Second, it has forever been acknowledged that the Adobe suite of applications, and even Photoshop, are overkill for most photographers. Adobe in the past has provided Elements and Lightroom as more targeted applications for this niche audience. Now they are saying that "...we are looking at potential offerings that recognize the photography community – because it is so broad – has some unique needs." I predict a CC-like PS Elements to replace the current Elements. We'll get all the features of Instagram etc. so we can better process and share our mobile phone snaps. I can hardly restrain my excitement.
