The fact that the software stop working is a show stopper for me.  Ok I understand that you could use much of the work with another program but if you buy any add-ons, brushes or filters for Photoshop they are then worthless. 

To be honest I am not an Adobe fan anyway having been forced to use one of their products during my brief part of my career in bid support I can't remember the name of it perhaps because my brain refuses to face such a horrror, but I am interested to see the benefits and pit falls of cloud computing.  I can see if you are working in a field of work where Adobe is the norm then this seems to be a cost effective option.  For me, A Paint Shop Pro user for many years it does not seem to provide any benefit.  During my latest stint I stopped upgrading PSP at PSP Pro X2 and only recently upgraded to Pro X7 as it gave me 64bit functionality, but I was able to use Pro X2 for the whole of that period.

I will watch this thread with interest though as I do like to see if there is a point where it would be better for me to jump on board. 

 

 

 

I use Poser 13 on Windows 11 - For Scene set up I use a Geekcom A5 -  Ryzen 9 5900HX, with 64 gig ram and 3 TB  storage, mini PC with final rendering done on normal sized desktop using an AMD Ryzen Threadipper 1950X CPU, Corsair Hydro H100i CPU cooler, 3XS EVGA GTX 1080i SC with 11g Ram, 4 X 16gig Corsair DDR4 Ram and a Corsair RM 100 PSU .   The desktop is in a remote location with rendering done via Queue Manager which gives me a clearer desktop and quieter computer room.
