5 Myths about Adobe Creative Cloud
Terry White, Creative Cloud evangelist, debunks popular myths about the Creative Cloud. The essence of the original article is being posted here. For the complete article, click this link.
Myth #1 : I will have to run my applications in a web browser
While that may be the case with other cloud offerings, it’s not the case with Creative Cloud. Creative Cloud members download and install their Apps as Adobe customers always have. The Apps like Photoshop , Illustrator, InDesign and even the new app Muse runs from your Hard Drive, not from the cloud.
Myth #2: I have to be constantly connected to the Internet to use Adobe applications from the cloud
Your Apps not only install on your hard drive, but they also can very much run offline. Your computer does have to connect to the internet once a month to verify that your membership is still current, but that’s it. Once that check has happened you can disconnect and run all of your Creative Cloud apps OFF-line.
Myth #3: I cannot share file with friends that are not subscribed to the cloud
You can share your files with friends that are not subscribed to the Creative Cloud. Once you decide to share a file you can email a link to your colleagues or clients and they will be able to view your file in their web browser even if they’ve never heard of Creative Cloud or the Adobe applications you used to create them.
Myth #4: I lose access to my files in the Creative Cloud as soon as I unsubscribe
While you won’t have access to your Creative Cloud applications anymore, you’ll be able to open your files on any previous version of the software on your computer. This is provided that you’ve saved your files to compatible formats with your older applications or other 3rd party Applications. If you decide to re-join Creative Cloud you’ll have access to the latest Creative Apps again and you’ll be able to continue working on YOUR files.
Myth #5: I will be forced to always run the latest version of the software
You are not forced to upgrade. You can continue to run which ever versions of the software that you want until YOU are ready to upgrade. This is crucial for workflows that involve working with clients or vendors that may not be on the latest versions of the software. You can continue using your current version of the product for one full year after the subsequent version is released.
Bonus myth: I will have to buy two separate subscriptions for my Windows and Apple computers
Actually not only is this not true, but it’s one of the best benefits of Creative Cloud. With Creative Cloud you’re allowed to install the software on up to TWO of your computers. Just like you are able to do with the Creative Suite applications. However, unlike Creative Suite, Creative Cloud allows you to download and install either the Mac or Windows versions for each computer. This is great for people that have say a Windows PC at work, but a Mac at home.
