Hello,
We bought one of my company users a subscription to Adobe Creative Cloud and she's downloaded and installed Adobe Master Collection CS6 on her computer. In case you haven't heard, Creative Cloud is a $50/month subscription which lets you download and use Master Collection rather than buying the $2500 license. Even though it says "cloud" in the name, you actually download the apps and install them on your computer like usual.
I have not really looked at the problem yet, but I did want to ask you guys if you think this is normal.
She says the apps are slower than version CS5.5 she used to have. She didn't use to have Master Collection, just InDesign, but still.
She has a Core i3-2100 w/ 4 GB of RAM, Windows 7 Pro. It's not a powerhouse, but I'd think it should be enough to at least run the apps smoothly. The rest of her apps is fine, it's just the CS apps that are slow.
Some time next week I'll go pay her a visit and see if her CPU or RAM usage goes totally out of whack when she does something in one of the CS apps, but in the meantime I wanted to ask you guys if you thought her hardware was fine.
It could also be that she's using a ton of them at the same time, working with big files... I don't know yet. Again, just trying to get a feel for the situation from people like you who may have used CS6, since I have not. Hell I haven't used Photoshop since the nineties (version 4.0 -- not CS4, just 4.0).
