![]() This is why it's best to play it safe and have all those various plugins, presets, and settings manually backed up somewhere safe where you can easily access them. Without the Internet, you can't access your Creative Cloud and migrate anything over. Another example could be shooting on location in the middle of nowhere, where circumstances force you to move to a new machine. Unfortunately, it's likely many companies will close down as a result of the pandemic and impeding recession the world is about to face. One example of being "locked out" of your Creative Cloud is if you work for a company and use their computers and then you part ways with said company. This may all seem a little far fetched but data can get lost and users do get locked out of their accounts from time-to-time. Problem is, what happens if you lose your Creative Cloud details or something drastic happens and Adobe loses your files? These files should also be stored on Adobe's Creative Cloud server which means as long as you are using the same credentials as before, you should be able to migrate them over. This works because the installer will look for any older versions of the software on your machine and knows which necessary files to copy over. Adobe has a useful migration option which will pop up when you install a newer version of the editing program. The good news is that all your creature comforts in Photoshop can be easily restored with a few clicks. A new install of Photoshop can feel like going into your kitchen to make a meal, only to find all the pots and pans have been moved, and those countertop gadgets are nowhere to be seen. All the various presets, third party extras, settings, and preferences you introduce over time can really change how the program looks and feels. I am always surprised when I do start afresh with Photoshop by how vastly different I have things set up from the original stock install. A spring clean of my computer and a fresh install of the editing program did the trick thankfully. I won't bore you with the details of what happened because I'm not exactly sure who or what is to blame for the catastrophic failure. ![]() ![]() My version of Photoshop got corrupted recently.
