CS6 has a problem? Or the latest version of OS X has a problem with CS6?
If it's the latter, I expect it will eventually get fixed. Apple, for all their
faults, does occasionally listen to their users. Rarely maybe, but it does happen.
I'm still using CS6 with no problems, but I'm a Windoze guy.
I was one of those "upgrade every odd numbered version" users. I was on CS5 when
CC was announced and felt I needed to move up to the latest version JUST IN CASE.
It was particularly painful because I wasn't able to find a plain vanilla CS6
upgrade at the time and had to upgrade to the Extended Edition. The upgrade
price for that (from plain vanilla CS5) was as much as I originally paid for
Photoshop CS.
My one foray into Lightroom was a disaster. Aside from the installation SNAFU, I
never could get it to put the photos where I wanted them (on my dedicated PHOTO
hard-drive in folders YYYYMMDD-Job_Name). Bridge does that with no fuss.
Still don't want to rent Photoshop, so I'm sticking with CS6 for as long as I
can.

I will eventually subscribe to CC although CS6 is still working for me.
However, I’ve read that it has problems with the latest version of OSX. So I
will eventually be left behind if I don’t upgrade

LOL... I'd like to think that I'm more prone to pragmatism than to
curmudgeonry, but well... :-) Aside from bitching, my reasoning is that if
I need to upgrade, I might as well consider the competition. The price for
Photoshop has always been a bit steep for the way I use it. I made my last
upgrade while doing some university courses and got the educational
discount but with the subscription I can't get away with anything like
that. Other developers are improving their products too, so essentially, if
they can do now what CS6 can do, it's what I need it for. The new features
you mention are nice, of course, but not really on my must-have list. :-)

Jostein, I just have to say it: the best advanced editor available is
Photoshop.
After recent Mac OS X updates started to erode my CS5 enough to be
troublesome, I finally gave in and subscribed to CC. It has been, for
me, worthwhile. Lightroom integrates better with Ps, both are speedier,
and Ps has seen some feature additions that are extremely useful and
powerful for me. Time saved in retouching; more convincing and accurate
editing -- especially in the area of selections -- and much better
handling of huge 645Z files, for example. The Content Aware healing brush
is magical.
I was one of the last holdouts. My copy of CS5 and my old Lightroom owed
me nothing. I strongly dislike the subscription model still, but I'm not
going to cut off my nose to spite my face. Being a self-righteous
dogmatic curmudgeon has its downsides.

Thanks P.J. The only reason that keeps me from playing with editors
like RawTherapee, DxO, C1 (or Corel AfterShot, for that matter), is
that
they
are not good DAMs. The true strength of Lightroom is exactly that. It
combines good archiving, basic raw file editing, and good integration
with specialist editors like Zerene Stacker for macro, Photomatix for
HDR and Autopano for mosaics. It also supports management of images
published to social media and my own website.
The only piece in the puzzle that has fallen out is the _advanced_
image
editing option. That's what I need a Photoshop replacement for.

Look into RawTherapee it does a nice job, and it's Free, well they
ask
for a donation, but it's essentially free. I did manage to crash
it,
but it does make nice renders. It also seems to support every
current
Camera. I'm not using it, but it's become my current backup if DxO
Mark
pisses me off as much as Adobe has.

So, now I'm thinking it's time to move on. CS6 is getting old, and
the
UI does not scale well on larger screen resolutions. But a CC
subscription is not an option.
Anyone on the list using Corel Paintshop Pro or Affinity Photo? -
I'd love to hear your experiences. :-)
