Adobe goes all SaaS

Not long ago we reported that Adobe made the subscription to their creative applications more attractive than purchasing them. Today they have gone further and declared that the subscription will remain the only option. There will be no new version for the Creative Suite (CS). Instead, there will be only Adobe Creative Cloud (CC). Why are they doing it? The first reason - to fight piracy. The second reason - Adobe's creative programs have become cloud services. No, they are not running in browser. But today they not just allow to draw something but also to organize collaboration on a project via multiple computers and with multiple collaborators (on the first place, to organize the interaction between designer and customer).

In addition, Adobe has integrated Behance (the designer ecosystem) into its cloud service. It's a community where designers can share media resources and find inspiration and advice, and customers can find designers for their projects.

Adobe Creative Cloud costs $50/month. It includes Photoshop and all other Adobe creative applications plus 20 GB of cloud storage.
