Adobe has tried to convert all their PS users to the subscription model for 
several years now because of their need for revenue. The number of 
worthy-of-upgrade features they can add to PS is getting fewer and fewer. 
Ergo, if everyone subscribes, they don't need to be as creative to extract 
money from you. Rather than convincing you to pay for a upgrade every 2 
years, they can get $50/month from each and everyone of you forever.

As Frank wrote, 20 GB is peanuts when it comes to storing photographs and 
cost Adobe less than peanuts to provide. How a prolific photographer would 
even upload s fraction of their work to the Adobe "cloud", I am not sure.

I am curious to see how many photographers would bite. The "cloud" is the 
current fad. Good for somethings and not good for other things. :)

Regards,
Spencer
