Thanks for that. What's not clear from their answer regarding ' What happens if I decide to stop my membership', is exactly what happens. My question is will I still be able to fire up Photoshop, edit my images exactly as I do now, or is there some functionality that I will lose for day to day work? They do state that one has to log on at least every 30 days. Put another way, I know there are advantages for Adobe to this idea, just can't see any real advantages for me.

I have to be on the internet to use their software? What if I'm on a boat several days away from civilization?

So every time I fire up an Adobe product I will have to have an internet connection to use it? Or is it just updates over the internet?

If I have to have an internet connection to use the product, doubt I will upgrade. There could be many occasions were I don't have access to the internet. Even just my local Brighthouse service being out. CS3 already did everything I needed for photography, so even CS6 was not really an essential upgrade for me. Funny I was just about to switch from Aperture to Lightroom.... guess I will stay with Aperture for the time being.

I hate being forced onto the cloud. Some things it's great to have on the cloud, others it's just fine for me to be in total control.

Nice; my favorite is the 5th image of the first series

I see they have a Light and Heavy Scratch remover - did you start with the heavy and then the light as they recommend for deep scratches, or just one stage?

Oh Jeff, I misread your DOB info... I thought you were 60 last year when I arranged for that whale to fall on top of you... good thing the whale wasn't as illiterate like me!

Let's try again next year!
