Just a Photographer

@Agentul,

You make us laugh - I own my OWN content, not ADOBE nor any other professional photographer or designer.

My OWN files, can perfectly reside on my PERSONAL CLOUD.

@Nikonworks

The advantage of no upgrading is also that you may reconsider that LR is the 'best' RAW converter. Better drop Adobe as soon as you can. First and foreall you can start by buying...

you also have no fiscal benefits with this construction that we have in our country. Therefore this construction may work for some, but is a big negative for others.

I think you are totally wrong.
Yes everything will be in the cloud 'Your personal cloud' which is called a NAS.

My Synology is doing a great job as for my personal cloud. I don't see...

RAW support is the least thing you should be worried about. There are many applications that do a better job then Lightroom or ACR for RAW conversion.

My answer:
1. Having to repeatedly pay to retain access
(to my files which I own and have copyright upon)

2. Uncertainty over future of Adobe's pricing.
Adobe can ask what they want once you have...

AstroFalcon must be part of the Adobe's PR machine.

No Rickpoole, they would be called 'busted' :)

Lightroom is no editing program its a RAW converter and has no more functions then Adobe ACR that comes free with Photoshop.

Fully agree!
