![]() ![]() However, to insure the terms of the license are respected, Adobe checks from time to time (monthly?) if you are actually connected with the activated computer. You can work without any connection to Internet if you are 'signed in', which is a permanent situation. I hope you know how to disable Web connection with your computer if you are paranoid about extreme privacy. Now you think 'being signed in' or "activated" means being connected to the Internet. If you sign out, the license is not valid and does not work until your sign in again for the same or another computer. That info is stored on specific activation servers. You have to tell Adobe which computer(s) you choose to be activated. According to the terms of the license, you have the right to have two 'activations' at the same time on at most two different computers. That's what Adobe called ' license activating' in older versions. Why the heck does PE need to have an Internet connection in order to edit a photo?īeing " signed in" in Adobe's words is the same as having you license to use PSE linked to your present specific computer. Are you suggesting I actually remove the Ethernet cable from the PC? If I disconnect by signing out then I am not signed in. You say I don't have to be "signed-in" to use Photoshop Elements, just disconnect from the Internet once you've activated your licence. Occasionally, Adobe employees pop-in and generously help out (in their own time), but 99% of the time everyone in this community is just another user like you, so please don't get the impression that Adobe doesn't care - in fact, please don't get the impression I don't care either by the very fact that I'm replying to your posts in the first place and spending a little time doing a bit of research for you That's a much more valid reason for making a change, so as this is the Photoshop Elements Support Community might I suggest that you ask for help on the Lightroom Support Community?įinally, this is a user-to-user support community - Adobe is kind enough to provide a platform for users to chat to each other about any issues they have with Adobe applications. I can't directly help you with your issues with Lightroom, but your original post stated you were moving to Capture One from Photoshop Elements & Lightroom because of the signing-in issue and the subscription model, and said nothing about the performance of Lightroom on your new Mac. you have to agree to Capture One's Privacy Policy when you create your Capture One Profile and then that's it.įurthermore, I can't understand why you think that additionally backing up your images in the Cloud is more of a security concern than having all your images stored in one single location (on your computer and on external hard drives, I presume) - what happens if they are stolen, destroyed by fire or flood, or just simply stop working?Īnd I don't think Capture One is immune to constant software updates either - there have been 5 updates to Capture One 21 since it was released back in Dec 2020. If you are concerned about security and privacy issues (which you appear to be) you really should read Capture One's Privacy Policy.Īnd unlike Photoshop Elements, you can't actually opt-out of any of this data collection. how often you click buttons and menu itemsĪll of this data is stored and linked to your personal profile for at least two years. all the functions of Capture One you use and how long it takes for operations to complete the MAC address of your computer, your GPS location, and the timezone your operating system, graphics card, size of your RAM If you use Capture One whilst connected to the Internet, the application will send the following information (plus a whole lot more) back to Phase One: ![]() With respect, you don't have to be "signed-in" to use Photoshop Elements either - you just disconnect from the Internet once you've activated your licence.Īnd I'm really sorry to tell you, but you are permanently "signed-in" when you activate your licence with Capture One. Thanks for your reply, it shows Adobe cares. Yes, I'll log in because I'm required to do that. As I said I'll use Elements on occasion, and Need updates every 5 minutes, or 5 months. When you add a subscription charge it doesn't make sense anymore. Capture One so far isīlazing fast, edits, searches, loads, etc. Need for the cloud and all the security issues. ![]() I use one machine and have tons of storage. I also don't want to use LR on the cloud, any softwareįor that matter. Too much time trying to figure this out (posts, helps, searches, configs,Įtc.). LR CC on my brand new mac runs like a turtle. Here's the real problem, the motivator for me to look at C1 it's that LRĬlassic has become clunky i.e. ![]() Once C1 is activated, I don't have to be "signed in". ![]()
