MacVoices #25252 – Live! – Adobe’s New Creative Cloud Subscription, Stream Deck Without The Hardware…Sort Of
Chuck Joiner, David Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Jim Rea, Marty Jencius, Eric Bolden, Mark Fuccio, and Brittany Smith break down Adobe’s new Creative Cloud Pro subscription, which lowers the monthly price by excluding generative AI features. They compare its value for individuals and enterprise users, discuss Adobe’s long-term strategy, and weigh the pros and cons of subscription models. The conversation shifts to Elgato’s introduction of a virtual Stream Deck, its limitations, and how tools like Keyboard Maestro can automate tasks and streamline workflows—no hardware required.
