My son, via a gift from my granddaughter, gave me a years subscription to PhotoShop for Christmas.
I'm not sure I want to accept it. Not because I don't think I'd benefit from using it on my photos, but because it uses the 'CLOUD'.
My past employment kept me from 'joining' things like Facebook and Instagram because the people granting me security clearances didn't approve of the things associated with those, what are they called, 'platforms'. As they explained it, there was/is a lot going on behind the scenes that the general public isn't aware of as far as who really 'owns' them and what they do with the data collected.
So, I've been averse to using anything that isn't located directly on my computer. I only post in a few forums as it is. I'm hesitant to accept the gift since the 'cloud' is part of the deal, as I understand it.
Am I wrong in thinking this or ???
I'd be interested in hearing from those of you that do use PS and the Lightroom that also comes with it.
My wife is pissed at me that I may not accept this gift, so I may be fighting an uphill battle as it is.
I am open to discuss it though, first.
Thanks.
