Personally, I think this is a legitimate question ... but the answer depends on how current one wishes to be with any refinements without bothering to track each update or wait for a new release to get those refinements ... as opposed to not feeling a need for every little tweak, or even every new release.I refuse to pay the subscription charges to Adobe but not because I'm apposed to subscription services. Can someone please tell me apart from the background save feature in CS6 has Adobe released any must have new tools, performance enhancements or quality improvements since my last payed upgrade (or probably since CS3) that make CC a must have upgrade?
I'm not sure of the compulsive need to have the latest Adobe "code" on my machine, and pay monthly for it when it offers no added benefit over CS6 (which still receives camera updates)?
So please this is a genuine question, what does paying a monthly fee for CC give me over CS6 that is making all the posters in this topic so bemused why us none payers haven't signed up already???
I simply went back and reviewed my financial outlay for PS and LR over a few years and found the subscription plan to work for me, where I could see it being different for others.
The unknowns are how long PS6 will be supported ... and how long Adobe will keep the CC subscription at a reasonable cost per month.
