http://www.dpreview.com/news/2013/05/08/Adobe-photoshop-cc ****paste job begins**** What happens to ACR support for CS6? As Tom Hogarty states on Adobe's Lightroom blog <http://blogs.adobe.com/lightroomjournal/2013/05/adobe-camera-raw-8-support-for-photoshop-cc-and-photoshop-cs6.html>, CS6 users will gain the camera compatibility updates set to arrive on June 17 in ACR 8. These updates, however, will /not/ include any of the new features seen in the Photoshop CC demo or Lightroom 5 Beta release, such as the Upright tool, Advanced Healing Brush or Radial Gradient Filter. Adobe is not providing a timeline for how long new camera support will continue for the ACR version of Photoshop CS6. Can I still buy Lightroom? Yes. Lightroom, while available as part of the Creative Cloud bundle, can still be purchased as a standalone piece of software at $149 for new users and $79 for owners of any previous version. Adobe Acrobat can be purchased as a standalone title as well. Can I still buy Photoshop CS6? Photoshop CS6 is still currently available for a downloadable purchase here <http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_creativesuite6.html?start=20> on Adobe's site. ****paste job ends**** It isn't like they can make all of their copies of CS6 disappear or destroy them, so they will be out there, and still working, and still able to be purchased. I also think this Q&A is notable: */Were you expecting such a negative response from the photographic community?/* We expected a higher degree of this type of reaction from the hobbyist photographic community because currently there's not a lot of photography-specific value in our subscription products. "hobbyist", of course, is also the long-time appellation for the Linux community, so they are drawing a line between the real professionals out there and the casual hobbyist users.
