It's not that simple. It has to do with unsuccessful attempts to connect on weak connections while moving among multiple countries. If I could get 60 days that would cover me. I did once go about 75 days without internet (except one brief hour in the middle). PS was no problem during all that. Of course, I can think ahead and disable CC or log out--but I am always hoping it will work "this time." When it works isn't the problem. When it doesn't is. Yes, I have worked through this with Adobe. We have not worked out the secret recipe that exactly causes the issue--perhaps something is triggering the inability to verify what may appear like a new device--but isn't. We just don't know. We know work-arounds--but they are most inconvenient. Curiously, since changes have been made with the new CC and CC classic. I haven't had the problem. But I will be testing it with multiple SE Asian countries in the next few weeks. Maybe even Australia! I bet Australia works just fine. We shall see. Would be interesting to hear from users here traveling extensively in multiple rural S. American or African countries. [I know that the solution for some is to use a quality SIM-modem based travel router. But still, you have to have that Cell tower nearby!]

And it would be useful as a backup for those several times Photoshop has locked me out while traveling and I could not get it to open until I had stable internet. Actually, I keep an old version of PS also installed for those occasions.

Newbees will never know how we once labored to select fine detail. There should be a built-in "levels" where newbees have to extract hair with PS2 before advancing to tools like this---just so they will appreciate what PS can do!

Very nice. Thanks.

Thanks. I may get this. One problem I have is being in a dusty environment clogs up the cooling apparatus and then the fan runs harder. Not sure of a solution to this, but a less active fan would surely help.

Works now. Thanks.

Lin, This link is not working for me: http://www.ln-evans.org/tutorial/snowglobetutorials.zip

The new LIghtroom CC is entirely cloud-based for original files. Lightroom Classic retains file-based original file storage on your local drive. Package 1 is basically LR Classic (local file-based) + Lightroom CC (cloud-based) + Photoshop CC + 20 GB cloud storage. Package 2 is Lightroom CC (Cloud-based) + 1 TB of cloud space. Same price either way. Storage and package variations can be added for more money. Some people will love all clouds based, but, only if you have consistent internet on all required devices. Being cloud-based, your full RAW file is available on any device. Nice.

I know some are worried about Adobe going all-cloud. That would not work for me. But, this change is only good. I just got a lot of new bang for my same $9.99 bucks.

That is cool! It works so well with the images.

Keep up the good work! I really appreciate your good work.

Looks Good! Thanks for the link.

I finally found a quick, easy method to do some basic video editing that I like a lot. This will open up video use in P2E for me. http://www.diyphotography.net/know-can-colour-grade-edit-videos-adobe-lightroom/ Barry--please create a tutorial on this!

Great demonstration.

Beautifully captured. Good job! The image below is not so well-done, but it captures a very precious moment today, with someone I love very much Broken (got dropped too many times) 50 mm 1.4 at f3.5 125 ISO 1600. Batu Feringghi, Malaysia, Beach Cafe

Thanks, Barry. An iPhone produces surprisingly good audio as you well demonstrated.

Each to his own, but high-quality images and thin, tinny audio reduce the perceived quality of everything. Off-computer recording is a big step up. Minimizing or eliminating noise reduction greatly increases quality, retaining full, rich, warm sound. If you must record with on-screen content, then use a cool laptop on battery power with SSD. 1. As men get older their ability to distinguish nuance of tone. That does not mean everyone else can't hear it loud and clear. 2. If you hear good quality and lesser quality side by side, and have good hearing, you will have little doubt about the worth of good recording techniques. 3. If you MUST go with something like Blue Snowball, you will find it much better than an iPhone. You can pick one up for less than $80. If I recall correctly, last time I was in America, I saw them at Costco for around $40-50. If you have a phone--that is free, and it does work. Audacity cleans up the worst of the mess. To me, editing such audio feels like the difference between editing a high-quality RAW image and a low-quality jpg from your phone.

Quality audio is like a quality photograph. iPhone photos are good enough for some people who can't see any difference between an iPhone Instagram picture and an image meticulously captured on a tripod with a FF sensor. Likewise, iPhone recordings are good enough for some people. Whether it matters depends if you have an eye or an ear for the difference in quality.

Keyboard control is a great idea. Gotta have a little didgeridoo. Beautiful, creative, inspiring images. Sunsets, mountains, oceans, birds "Black point" is the new "saturation" sometimes overdriven. Nice AV overall, well put together. Fun trip!

Thanks, Barry.

10 minutes. I create a series of several 8-15 min. shows, typically 6 total, accessed via a menu. This can be for weddings or various events. My style is documentary. I find that clients love this style and duration and find myself going back and enjoying them as well.

Thanks, Lin. Amazing job, and so helpful, as always. I still imagine a day when an object or text can simply follow a path such as a Bezier curve.

I am so sorry. I did not know Maureen personally but almost felt as if I did. She seemed so kind and had an amazing eye for beauty. My heart goes out to Robert in his loss.

Wow, Lin!. Thanks!
