I've been poking around and haven't found some answers. I bet you guys know.
A little background. My 8 year old MBP died. It was stuck at 10.6.8 anyway as I couldn't go any farther.
I now have a 2012 MBP from Macsales.com. 8 gigs, 512 SSD, nice. I've moved to Mavericks so I can use NX2 again. I like NX2 and for hi ISO I don't think there is better. But for other work like massive piles of files there are better ways.
I want to try LR. With the new MBP I can. So do I just buy the box, or do I go CC with LR+PS for $9.99 a month.
Do I understand it right, if I get the LR in the box there will be no download updates as they come out?
Is this whole CC thing a system where I do the whole thing is online as in NO real LR in my computer, just an uplink to a "cloud" version?
I barely used PS on my old MBP. I did have and like Alien Skins Exposure for film simulations. Maybe that would be all I'd do with PS. I assume cloud or not plug-ins work?
Thanks for any insight or real world use.
Neil
