It's different, but the same, (ish)

Once you have CC you'll always have the latest version, if you look at the photographers package, you get LR thrown in for less than just photoshop.
 
For the type of photography you do, do you really need the full blown version of PS?
 
Want or need it's my money to spend on what I want to spend the question was if they were the same or not! Not your opinion in if I should get it or not

I already have Lightroom as that's what I'm currently using so it would only be photoshop that was needed, but think I'll just buy cs6 as that's what I'm really after
 
Photoshop CC 2014 is just the latest version of PS, think of it as CS7.1 (CS7 being Photoshop CC). Subscription to the £9 a month package (PS & LR) is a no brainer in terms of license costs.
 
Yes they are the same. Cc is cloud based, you pay monthly and you always have the latest version.. Program is identical apart from that.
 
CS6 was the last version of photoshop you could purchase in a retail outlet. Photoshop CC is the new version, available only as an online subscription basis. Once you stop subscribing the software will no longer operate, with the exception of Lightroom, which will be 'crippled' as the develop function will no longer work, but you will still be able to access your files from the Cloud (CC means Creative Cloud).

There are many functions that are not available to CS6, and Adobe have not stated how long they will continue to offer support and updates for CS6. This means going CC is the only option if you wish to remain up-to-date.
 
oh, the oil paint filter is no longer available if you do go the CC route, which seems to upset a lot of people judging by the posts on the user groups. Only applicable if you use it of course, which I never have.

Yeh, it's your money but why waste it on something you perhaps don't need but as ever you don't seem to be able to recognise when some one is trying to help and go all obnoxious and defensive. At the end of the day I don't give a toss what you do with yer cash and you can rest assured I'll not bother trying to be helpful in the future.

I'm out:rolleyes:

At what point was slating my photography with a comment such as do you need it with your photography helpful, considering I have only started posting back on this yesterday and not yet posted a picture so how do you know what type or level photography I'm now doing? considering I'm now set up as the official photographer for a riding club and selling numerous photos per show I think I have gone up a bit since we last spoke, I did not ask for help if I should buy it or not the help I asked for was on software I would like to think people on here had grown up a bit but it seems not.

I never slated your photography at all. All I asked was do you really need such an expensive piece of software for they type of photography you do that's all. I'm well aware of the standard you are at right now as every time I bloody well log onto Flickr I'm met with the whole page showing Aralia photos and not by my doing. Two pigeons there right now.

You have an unerring ability to twist things around to make it look like the whole world is against you. You mention change (ie grown up), evidently you have not.
 
May we see some images??

I have Photoshop CS 5 and use it often - maybe CS 5 is a better option for you given the cost of the cloud based CS6?

There's not a world of difference between the 2 programmes

Just a thought

Hayley. What version of Photoshop (or any editing software) you have / need, is completely unrelated to your photographic ability, or standing in "the photography world". Some people simply do not need the features of the all singing all dancing Photoshop. You could be the absolute, stand out, best who has ever lived, event photographer - and get on just fine without Photoshop.

Asking if you need it or not, is not slating or even questioning, your photographic ability.

Yes seriously that a problem??


Don't know why I bothers trying again with this place

Not a problem at all, congratulations.

I think the majority of photographers who have full blown photoshop,don`t really need it and could manage with less able software.

Thank you James. Very sensible words indeed
 
Curves, levels, cropping, re-sizing, compressing, unsharp mask, layers, channels, heal, clone, and much much more. Some of the tools in the Open Source Gimp package. Maybe not good enough for Pros, but more than good enough for my photography. Did I say "free"?

Sounds like an entirely reasonable question to me, posed in a helpful way as I read it.

Photoshop is a full-on graphic arts package for professionals. Very few photographers need it, or have the time to learn it fully. Lightroom is for photographers, and it also has a lot of additional features to manage our entire workflow. There's very little it won't do and the few bits that we occasionally need, mainly layers, comes in Photoshop Elements (or as third-party plug-ins) at a fraction of the cost of the full Photoshop.

To get the most out of any of these programmes, you need a book. Fumbling around with YouTube vids is no substitute IMHO, and wastes a lot of time. I like Scott Kelby.

Hi Richard, :agree: a really sensible and honest answer.

George.
 
The reason I want it is not because I need it or for any use better then the Lightroom i already have it's because I want it simple as
 
have you tried PSE11 or 12 for about £50 ……. it is really good value for money and has quite a lot of the most used functionally of PS

If you have LR then PSE is a sensible addition
 
I'd give up.
Clearly the OP doesn't NEED it she just WANTS it and nobody is going the change her mind.

What was the original question?

is this the same as photoshop cs6 or different?

It's the same, just a newer version, so will have new things and some things have been removed.

Its fine to just 'want' something, and if youve got the money to throw away on something you will never actually need then great.

****ing ridiculous, but great.
 
Blimey, what's up with you lot? Has Hayley nicked your sweeties or something? CC at £9 per month - less than three pints per month, to put it in language that you may understand - with LR thrown in and free upgrades, is an absolute bargain. None of you have ever bought something you want rather than need? You have the cheapest watch you can get? A basic car? You don't waste money on pointless luxuries like a big television or a fancy phone?

Hayley, CC is the best editing package in the world for the money. I use perhaps 10% of it's capability. It came with LR, which I don't use because the CC RAW processor does more or less everything that LR does, is less clunky, and has a rather nifty perspective tool which gives me much enjoyment. Like any other tool, it's a tool. To get the best from it, you need to work at it. As with any aspect of photography. Get it, enjoy it, and ignore the childishness.

Jon, Hayley is talking about buying the full version of CS6.
 
Yup, I saw what she wrote; she was asking if CS6 is the same as CC. Which it isn't, quite. CC has a few more toys, and you don't have to buy it, you just rent it, sort of. And you get LR thrown in for no extra cost. And free upgrades.

Yes thats exactly what I thought
I have just signed up for it and its a bargain
I prefer using photoshop to elements but agree elements would do everything I need
the content aware fill in photoshop is brilliant though

That's fine. What isn't fine, is blowing up at Brash for offering some potentially handy, related advice on the side.

Anyway, CC is just the next iteration of the software, as in CS3 - CS4 - CS5 - CS6 - CC, etc. only difference being you don't get the option of buying it outright. The photographer's package is pretty decent value as others have said. I use that - latest version of LR and PS for ten bucks a month - not too bad.

Yes its not good reacting like that when people are just trying to help
 
Brash comments on all my posts I ever post nowadays trying to wind me up has some kind of issue with me he can't get over about an argument almost a year ago


Thank you to everyone who actually answers my question this was all I needed to know and I appreciate your comments.


As for the ones who are jumping on the band wagon trying to tell me I don't need it I also don't need your kind of negativity in my life yet I still get it so if you don't want to answer the question on the post I would appreciate it if you didn't post as you are just waisting mine and your time thanks

For goodness sake Hayley, you asked for advice and have received some. Stop getting so bloody stroppy and defensive.

The vast majority of photographers probably use 10% of photoshops abilities. The choice is yours.

Maybe you shouldn't be asking questions on an open forum then.
I don't know you and have never posted in any of your threads before, but maybe it's time for you to grow up a bit.
