Adobe Creative Cloud Pros and Cons

Adobe Creative Cloud is a new product which is supposed to make Adobe software more accessible, streamline creative process, and to some extent change the way how content and artwork are created. With Creative Cloud you can get Adobe software for US$ 30 to 70 without the need to pay a huge upfront cost to obtain tools necessary for your work. For example Instead of paying some US$ 2600 for Master Collection CS6 you can get all the same apps and even more for just US$ 49.99 or even 29.99 (if you are a student or educator or if you own some Adobe CS3-5.5 products). But at the same time in the case with Adobe Cloud membership you don’t own your software, you just rent it and that means that once you stop paying monthly fee you are left with nothing. These are only two reasons pro and con Adobe Creative Cloud, but actually there is much controversy about this product on the web. (more…)
