Cancelling Creative Cloud, Bye Bye Adobe
- owly 11y agoAgree. However, please list all the tools that you use in place of CC. How do you collaborate with people who are part of the Adobe monopoly?
- ramijames 11y agoHi, I'm the OP of the medium article. For photoshop, I'm replacing with Sketch and Photoshop CS6 For illustrator, I'm replacing with Affinity and Illustrator CS6 For indesign, I'm replacing with .. Indesign CS6. As you can see, the issue is that for print Indesign is far and away the best app for the job and has no replacement. I'll probably end up paying a monthly fee to finish Indesign specific work (which is fine because it is rare for me). For work that I need to share resources, CS6 is fine for what I do. For work that doesn't have that requirement, then I'm using alternatives and speeding up my workflow significantly. As I work remotely, on smaller scale projects, the bulk of my work is easily moved to my new workflow. If I was working in a Studio, things would probably be different. I'm lucky.
- petercooper 11y agoYep, CC billing is a train wreck. I wanted to add a new employee but found that by switching to "team" billing, my own rate would jump up a lot. So now we just have separate accounts for each person. But I'm beginning to think we might just set up a machine specifically for Adobe app use and just run a single account on it, then people use that machine when they need to use an Adobe app and have the files sync over Dropbox. It's horrible value for multiple employees to linearly increase the total paid when they use Photoshop or Illustrator occasionally.
