John,
Thank you very much for getting back to me. I hate this new cloud-only business and lack of phone support by Adobe.
I am a still photographer and I use Photoshop only so I do not need the entire creative suite but I would like to do more work with the videos I have taken with my 5DMKII which makes me wonder if I need more than the stripped down version of CS6? Always in the past I only had to pay around $200 to download the newest version as an upgrade and I was always fine with that. I will soon be upgrading to Windows 7 which will mean the 64bit system and I understand that CS6 comes in either but I think I will need to decide which to get? I would prefer to have the full program on the disc but I think I will pay much more for this compared to downloading a simple upgrade?
