Cloud? Oh, you mean somebody else's server has the app on it, ummm...not for me. I have CS5 and that probably does it for any future Adobe products that are 'Cloud' based. Stubborn Libertarian software user takes head out of Cloud. Any number of alternatives as mentioned (photoline looks interesting). My toolkit has included Discreet Logic's 'Paint' and 'Effect' for a number of years; bitmap paint, vector draw, keying, animation, 3D placement of elements in compositor, timeline with curves, etc. It was 'evolved' by Autodesk into the 'Combustion' product. Never liked that interface. Probably not available, is it 'abandonware' ? Since Autodesk bought out the developer 'Denim' most likely not (actually Autodesk bought Discreet Logic which had already bought out Denim). Sorry to digress. The whole 'Cloud' philosophy resonates with a 'Big Brother' throwback to Sun Microsystems "server/slave" model, most of us chose the "PC" model for good reason then, as I suspect most here would do so again.
