Well, it’s official! You asked for it, you got it!

As they say, if you’re going to Talk The Talk you need to Walk The Walk and that’s exactly what I’m doing. After using Adobe products for the majority of my professional career, in excess of 20 years, I’ve unsubscribed and uninstalled all Adobe Creative Cloud (Adobe CC) Software from each and every studio PC.

Now it’s time to scramble to replace Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Illustrator, Lightroom, Audition, After Effects, and the rest of software in the Adobe CC suite.

This video marks the beginning of our journey together, “Life After Adobe – Cutting The Cord”, moving from Adobe software to PAID or FREE alternatives for professional creative work.

Experience the process of deleting all Adobe software and what happens when you do.

 

*** Warning *** This Is Not For The Faint Of Heart!

If you’re interested in cutting the cord, I show you how to get 60 days of your current Adobe Creative Cloud subscription FREE Of Charge before you take the plunge.

Remember, this is a test! If I find that my client projects are being hindered or the time it takes to accomplish the tasks greater than with Adobe software I will be forced back into the Adobe CC Subscription model. As we all know, time is money!

On the other hand, if I can complete my projects and no longer have to rent or lease software with nothing to show for it once payment stops, then Adobe will not see me back.
