Adobe Creative Cloud: everything you need to know

Adobe Creative Cloud: everything you need to know
UPDATED: The newest versions of Adobe's popular design software are now available only through the Creative Cloud, but is it worth subscribing? Here's the latest information to help you decide.

2013 has been a big year for Adobe. Rather than jumping from CS6 to CS7, the design software giant instead released new 'CC' versions of Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, After Effects, InDesign, and more, exclusively through its Creative Cloud subscription service. All new features and products will be released this way from now on - so unless you want to be stuck on CS6 forever, you need to sign up.

Are you going to subscribe? There's a lot to take in before you make the decision, so here we've collected our articles about the Creative Cloud together in one handy post to help you out. See below to discover where you can find the exact details you're looking for...
