Cloud

Are Adobe creative apps available without a subscription?
No, all the latest versions of Adobe creative apps are only available with a Creative Cloud month-to-month or annual plan.
Are all apps updates included in the subscription?
Yes, with Creative Cloud, you have access to all the latest updates and future releases the moment they’re available.
What is the difference between the annual and month-to-month plan?
The annual plan requires a one-year commitment and is our best value. It comes with a 14-day money back guarantee. If you cancel after that, you’ll be charged a 50% fee for the remaining months. The month-to-month plan gives you the flexibility to stop and restart your subscription without a cancellation fee.

Are the applications installed on my computer or are they cloud based?
Your Creative Cloud desktop applications - such as Illustrator - are installed locally on your computer. You don't need an ongoing Internet connection to use them. You only need to connect to the Internet once every 99 days to validate your membership.

Can I use the software on one more computer?
Yes, you can install and run Creative Cloud desktop apps on two computers, such a home and work computer (Mac, PC or one of each)

This is a very interesting article comparing four different machines on how they tackle specific tasks using Adobe software. Definitely a test on the Pro side of things.

The four machines:

  • Some apps from Adobe 's multimedia software suite Creative Cloud—namely Lightroom Classic, Illustrator, and InDesign—have been updated with native support for Apple's M1 processors. When compared to a Mac with an equivalent Intel processor, the company says that you can expect an average performance boost of up to 80 percent.
  • Sep 30, 2020 OK, so your old computer is running out of gas, you’re upgrading or changing systems, adding a new machine, or switching from a PC to a Mac, or vice versa — and you want to move over your copy of Creative Cloud or CS6 (or CS5 or CS4) Adobe software — what do you do, and how do you do it?
  • Feb 25, 2021 As a Creative Cloud member, you can download and install Creative Cloud apps in any language in which the products are available. So you can have different language versions of each product depending on your needs. See the product links in the system requirements section for a complete list of languages for each Creative Cloud app.
  • However, Adobe now sells Adobe Creative Cloud for PC as part of an affordable monthly subscription service, which gives users access to a wide variety of Adobe’s products. Adobe offers its portfolio either as an all inclusive price, or if you prefer, you can choose which apps you wish to pay for and leave the rest.

Creative Cloud is the perfect compilation of professional tools for image compositing, photo editing, website design, 3D and augmented reality, logo creation, and more. In late 2018, Adobe added many new features to its latest Creative Cloud version, including many new features for its flagship app Photoshop CC.

  • Apple M1 MacBook Air with 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU, 16GB RAM
  • Apple M1 MacBook Pro with 8-core CPU and 8-core GPU
  • AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 GPU, 16GB RAM
  • AMD Ryzen 9 5800X, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 GPU, 64GB RAM

Note that second two machines are desktop machines, coming in at $2400 and $3500 respectively, with the last machine built with 64GB RAM. And those two desktop machines feature external GPUs.

In a nutshell, the desktop machines outperform the M1 Macs. Lots of reasons for this, and not really a fair comparison, since the Macs are laptops, and the desktop machines have discrete GPUs, and are much more expensive.

But I did find the comparison worth seeing.

From the conclusions:

From a performance standpoint, the new Apple M1 MacBooks do fairly well considering that they are using a complete processor based around the ARM instruction set and software that is likely not fully optimized yet. But compared to a typical desktop workstation from Puget Systems that is around 2-3x faster on average (albeit at a higher cost), they certainly can’t keep up.

These units only cost around $1,500 as configured, however, so the fact that they are half the performance shouldn’t be unexpected since they are also half the cost. What will be very interesting to see is how performance will shake out as Adobe improves support for native Apple Silicon and when (or if) Apple launches a higher-end laptop – or even better, a more powerful desktop variant than the Mac Mini.

That last bit sticks out to me. Will we see a higher end M1 laptop with more RAM? Will we see an M1 Mac Pro? If we do see a desktop Mac Pro, will it feature a discrete GPU?
