Arrrrgh. Also Off Topic – Photos. Grrrr.

[Bill Davis] “Does Lightroom 6 read Lightroom current files? “
I don’t know. The two versions are different because new features have been added in CC. But whether or not the database files themselves are backwards compatible is something to check. It could be that sorting and tagging will work but color adjustments might be different. But I’m only guessing.

[Bill Davis] “Also another small vexation is that even though I formally disinstalled all Adobe software, the software remains somewhere on my computer.”
Sounds like you still have old versions on the system. Check your Applications folder for any Adobe folders. Also check any other user accounts on the computer. Delete these.

Yes. Adobe Bridge CC is free, and is also available as a free-standing install outside of the CC realm. In other words, you don’t have to have Photoshop, AE, PPro or other products installed for it to work.

Adobe’s Bridge can do some cool things.

Sorry to hear about your continued troubles with CC, Bill. You seem to be snake bit in this regard.

It’s not important.
It’s just weird that I used the official Adobe uninstaller – and it didn’t actually uninstall the program itself.
It did remove Adobes Manager from its persistent slot in my desktop interface – but the program itself remains on my drive.
Not doing any real harm, I guess.

Seriously a “1st world problem” tho.
I try to always remember there are too many people who have ACTUAL life challenges.
Being able to own a computer and software (about which licensing is even a Lin issue) is a reminder to put any annoyance in perspective and count my blessings.
Besides, I’m currently trying to change a pre-purchased international flight – and the push back on getting even a partial refund on ANYTHING related to it is toe to toe with anything I’ve been through with Adobe in the past year.
Even with trip insurance! (Which I bought knowing an elective eye surgery might be scheduled around the time if my trip – said insurance being sold on my US based airlines website – for travel to Europe through a subsidery NOT actually run by the airline but a separate company with headquarters in Tennessee – whose customer service phone operations are in (wait for it) Mexico City – and who MIGHT accept or reject my refund request – but would like a DOCTORS NOTE before they rule on it.
Seriously.
These “fishhook” transactions are everywhere now. In the modern era, it seems once any entity has taken your money – the “policy” barriers to getting even a little of it back are the best that expensive lawyers can erect.
Modern E-commerce is kinda moving from Buyer Beware – to perhaps Buyer be scared.
I guess if you’re OK paying AmEx a couple hundred a year for the right colored card that comes with transactional assistance they might have your back – but without that – the people in the other end of the phone are invariably polite – but also well schooled in NEVER giving money back once it’s received without at least a moderate struggle.
And nobody will likely have your back by default.
It’s depressing.

bill, time for a paradigm shift.
circa 1998 an Avid system cost $66,500
in the early 2000’s a fully loaded Media100 cost $44,000
and in 2011, FCP7 was $1000so the notion of fretting about $120 seems silly. It’s true that getting money back is nearly impossible these days but luckily it’s a nominal amount.

“The CC subscription model is a bit “iffy” on updates (for me): This last update, Premiere and Photoshop are fine. After Effects, however, thinks it’s in trial mode and started a 7 day free trial (Hey Adobe, how about 30 days?). Maybe I am snake-bit as well, but it seems every CC update creates a new “puzzle” to solve. As far as the rest of the CC package is concerned, I have not even checked yet. Will never use the vast majority of what is “left over” from the big three.

What is worse having to rent the software or having to buy a new computer?
In order to run FCPX I had to buy an expensive Mac mini that is a tad bit buggy. I guess I got bit as well. I also found a bug in FCPX (trial version).
Overall FCPX works OK on the Mac mini but the same shortcomings from when I last used FCPX are still there.
