I have been using PSCC for PS only and my original version of LR5 since CC first came out with no problems. Today I'm downloading the CC version of LR, too, just to keep up with the upgrades all at one time. There should be no differences in LR5 and the CC version of LR. I'm backing mine original version up now before I try installing the CC version.

I stopped using PS when they went to the CS - I have no use for any of the other pieces, and couldn’t justify the cost of keeping up the whole suite just to get the PS bit. So I generally managed to get along with PS7, and have switched much of my basic editing now to Lightroom, which gets more capable with each iteration. I picked up Elements recently, which has been getting some of the “magic” capabilities of PS, and now use it on the occasions when I need more pixel-level power than LR offers.But I am seriously considering the $10/month plan for PS only. Even more magic than Elements, plus the ability to save custom crops and other tools like I used to be able to do in PS7.
Does anybody know if you can choose NOT to implement the rental version of LR if you buy into this program? I own LR5 now, and am (only sightly, but still . . . ) concerned that if I switch to the rental version and down the road decide to discontinue the subscription to PS, I would not be able to buy a standalone version of LR whatever they’re up to at that point. I know they’re selling LR separately at this point, but if in the future they roll it into the rental-only model I’d have to give it all up if I decided to drop renting PS. (I’ve never read a how-to on managing the catalog if you want to go back to an earlier version of LR.)Any thoughts, or better yet, actual experience, on keeping on with a purchased copy of LR if you join the rental program?On Nov 22, 2013, at 6:41, Ernst Dinkla <e.dinkla@...> wrote:Now everybody can join the scheme:

Looks like subscriber numbers were too low so far.
