In the last three years I have had problems with organizations not turning off monthly charges after I had asked them to be stopped, had the manager of my electronic medical record notify me on two occasions that the system security had been breached and had to get new credit cards 4 times. I am wary of recurring charges, cloud computing and security issues. I like to have a hard copy of my programs that belong to me though I can appreciate the ongoing updates for CC. I was surprised that the D3200 was not supported by CS5 but my D3s and D800e were supported. The fee for CC is less than I had originally thought and well within my humble means. I will probably start by upgrading to CS6 and I appreciate the link that was provided. Thanks to all of you for your kind advice and sharing your experiences.

(On the other hand they have been known to 'break' a new feature with an update-and then have to fix it again.) If you are like me and purchase an occasional Photoshop book, it difficult to know how current a PS CC book is with software updates happening fairly often. One thing I do like though is that CC does get a lot of feature updates that you would typically have to wait for 18 months or so for the next version to get when purchasing upgrades.

There are zealots on both sides of the argument. There are LOTS of threads out there (not just here on about the whole subscription/purchase models read some of those and you'll have to make up your own mind. My biggest objection to the subscription model is that at some point your subscription may end (could be for financial reasons-because you pretty much need to have internet access too (practically speaking)-so consider that cost as well, Photoshop could - and probably will at some point-require you to update your OS- which may even require you to update your computer and you may not be ready to do that, as well as a number of other reasons).and when your subscription ends, if you don't have a version of PS that your purchased prior to the subscription model, you may be very limited in your ability to edit your images in the future-this includes all of your current images and the ones you have yet to shoot. Sounds weird, but I still use CS6 a bit even though I have CC as well. (I have not once experienced any visit from the software repo people wanting to take any software back that I purchased, so I feel comfortable in calling the software mine-again, semantics aside.) If you can swing it and want to feel the need to get into CC - and get Lightroom in the deal if you don't already have it for about $10 a month and still have CS6 to fall back on. Not knowing your financial situation, I personally would opt for the CS6 version - which is pretty much yours until you no longer want to use it. On a personal note, I am not a big fan of the subscription model-semantics aside (between the whole licensing / leasing / owning models) I prefer having software on my system that I have control over and once paid for I don't ever have to worry about additional payments. Regarding CS6-here's a link to an article that came out when CS6 was released that shows you the difference between CS5 and CS6.

I believe Adobe said they would continue support on CS6 through the next OS of both Mac and Windows, at which point you would obviously still be able to use it (assuming it would still work with future operating systems). Regarding how PS CC is working, I have subscribed to the Photoshop/Lightroom deal, but I also have CS6 which is still updated and supported. I purchased the Nik plugins after they were acquired by Google (and the price dropped significantly for the entire set) and I have had no issue with them as well. so if you don't have the latest version where there may be a compatibility issue, you can get the upgrade.

I have both the Topaz and Nik plugins and find that they work in both CS6 and CC I don't know what version you have of these plugins, but Topaz upgrades are all free.
