What is the difference between this product and the new Adobe Creative Cloude plan? Is this a stand alone application without a monthly payment?

Yes. This is the standalone Lightroom application which you pay for once. I am a photographer and use Lightroom most of the time, even though I have CS6. Creative cloud will be useful if you need the power of Photoshop for image manipulation & creation. Lightroom as a stand alone is more than good enough for image enhancement and localised adjustments.

Amazon doesn't currently offer 3 and 12 month subscriptions, they list as "Out of Stock". Adobe does not offer prepaid memberships either. From the Adobe FAQ: "You can prepay for one year of membership when you purchase through a retailer or etailer (like Amazon)." Unless there is another online store that sells prepaid memberships, right now we are out of luck. :(

Hi Jane, I hope what follows will help in your purchase of this software. I saved it to my hard drive with no problems noted. I am willing to say that you can save or back-up the program to a DVD or other drive that you desire with no problems that I can see. The software is still available to me on Amazon for download with the serial number. I purchased it Oct 2013. I use it for design work for my CNC work that I do and the manufacture uses in their online classes. As far as I can tell this Designer 2D is a full working copy and I actually downloaded a trial copy Designer 19 prior to purchasing Designer 20. Good luck...there are a number of videos on this program and the help function gave me what I needed. I have two monitors so I would watch and follow the videos in learning the program.

It is included with a trial version. Cheaper to uninstall the trial version and buy Office separately.

Basically, none. I had a CD with games on it and installed it. I downloaded Adobe Reader off the Internet. I had previously purchased MS Office Professional 2010 ... but would you believe Microsoft would not allow me to install from my CD??? I had to purchase a new key code from them (after purchasing the program for $400+), in order to use it on my new PC! Same with MS Money: my product key code was not "recognized", even though I had never installed it on my old PC!! So I bought Quicken. Norton 360 for 3 PC's was no problem, thank goodness!

No this just PhotoShop CS6. The creative suite is a lot more $$$. I own PS-CS6, AI CS6 and Dreamweaver CS6.

What Reid Smith actually asked is "what's the difference between the $299 academic edition and the $199 student/teacher edition?" He never got an answer to his question. I posted a lengthy explanation on a review of Photoshop CS4 Student Edition. The review is not available now that CS4 is discontinued, but you can still read it by accessing all of the reviews written by The Irish Patient here on Amazon. It's entitled "If in doubt, consider the academic edition instead," and it was the highest rated review for that product. Briefly, the difference under CS4 was that you didn't have to jump through any hoops to activate the $299 academic edition. The $299 academic edition came with an activation code inside the packaging. You were good to go as long as you could get a third party retailer (like AcademicSuperstore) to send you the academic edition disk. With the $199 student edition, all you got was a disk without an activation code. The code could only be obtained by going through Adobe's verification contractor. You had to open the seal on the software and then send your proof of student or teacher status to Adobe. If you were verified, then you would get an e-mail with the activation code. If you were denied, you had to fight with Amazon to return opened software.

Yeah, I am not sure either, but considering C2 appears to be a more recent version update not to mention, cheaper and also come with free office 2013, that made my choice easy to decide.

I purchased this Adobe product from Amazom. It is a full Adobe Premier Elements 12 product. A year ago I purchased another Adobe product....Adobe Photoshop Elements .... When I had issues with downloading again after computer repair....Amazon not Adobe supplied the support and solution. I have no concerns purchasing Adobe products from Amazon.

My box did not have a rebate coupon. Adobe now uses upgrade editions, requiring you to have the older license. The upgrade edition seems to be priced at ten dollars less than the price for the full edition and I don't see the upgrade edition listed YET on Amazon for sale and download. Perhaps it is coming in future. I suggest you write or call Customer Service and inquire.

I didn't find any difference. I am using it and it is a little different from my friends full version, but nothing that I can decipher that makes a major difference in how to use the tools or publish. I hope that helps. I am using my version in a non profit and it works for how we utilize the program.

That's not the retail price (which is $699). Marketplace vendors on can charge whatever they like for the products they sell. You may want to consider the Creative Cloud Photography Plan: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KNDCCE6/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk The old pricing model was $699 (Photoshop CS6) /$999 (Photoshop CS6 Extended). But consider this: at that price a customer can have the Creative Cloud Photography Plan @ $9.99/mo for close to 6/8.5 years respectively. The Creative Cloud Photography plan includes Photoshop CC, Lightroom & Lightroom mobile. Plus you get all the product updates/upgrades (e.g. Photoshop 2014, 2015, 2016, etc & Lightroom 6, LR7, LR8, LR9, etc) for OS compatibility and support during that time. With the old model, you'd have to pay extra for upgrades in that same time period. One of the reasons for moving to this model is to make sure customers can keep up with the fast changing technology landscape where Apple and Microsoft are updating OSes every 12 months and introducing new hardware and devices at a faster and faster rate.

Mine didn't come with any software besides the driver. It will work just fine with the all of the Adobe Creative studio software you have on your computer, but it isn't included.

I am charged by the month. I must also apologize to Corel. Seems it was mostly user error. The graphics editor was radically different to the version I had before. Turns out you have far more control.

This is a boxed version. However, you can go to Adobe's website and download a free 30 day trial. Then when your disc upgrade arrives, just use the serial number to officially register it. I have never used the disc, but I like to have a copy in case I need to reinstall the program.

Eileen: Call up Adobe and let them know that you switched from Windows to a Mac and wish to switch your Adobe software to the Mac version. When I made the switch, I called them up and they sent me out the Mac versions of my Photoshop CS2 and Photoshop Essentials at no charge (I may have had to pay shipping). It was a one-time offer... in other words, I could not switch back (for free) if I later decided I wanted to switch back to the Windows version again. This was about a 1 1/2 years ago, and I'm not sure if they still offer this option. I wish that Adobe would release a single box containing both the Windows and Mac versions of their software, like they did with Lightroom.
