Adobe Photoshop Lightroom CC 6.5.1 Multilingual
Joao Charlesbois
I bought Lightroom 6 sometime in 2017. Now my previous computer broke and lightroom went with it. Well, no problem, I thought, I can download it back from the creative cloud to my new computer. But now it turned out that it can no longer be downloaded. What are my chances now? Can I get compensation or a refund for something for I can no longer use the product I bought and paid for? I didn't get any notice that the download file should be saved to yourself, because adobe no longer offers it for download. What now?
Adobe can withdraw a product at its whim, (this right is clearly stated in the End User Licence Agreement (EULA) which you accepted when you bought) and unfortunately there's nothing we can do about it except move on.
What you are saying is that people are paying for nothing, because that "life of the software" is not known and is not specified anywhere at the time of purchase - they can as well shut it down in a day, month or in a hundred years - noone knows.
If you look at the software license for most apps and OSs, there is usually a paragraph in there that specifically says you get no guarantees as to how long it will be useful to you, and when you decide to use the software (therefore agreeing to the Terms), you agree to that. I just looked up the Terms of Service for an Adobe competitor who makes a photo app that is very affordable and non-subscription, and it uses this very common wording:
Having a 6.14 installer is one issue, however you may still have activate the software. Lr 6.14 will two activated units, if have two older units activated you will have to deactivate one to activate on a new unit.
Furthermore, if the OP (or anyone) can find a copy of the Lr 6 installer file (like from a fellow photographer or local photography club), there's a good chance that you can still install it and use it on Windows and on older Mac operating systems.
Hello Adobe Community. I know I'm a little late in 2024 with the question about Lightroom 6. I have an old IMac on which I can't install the latest macOS and that's why I need Lightroom6 for that. When I wanted to download today I saw that it has no longer been available since 2024. Does anyone else have the .dmg for Lightroom6 on their hard drive? Thank you in advance Marcel
Hi dj_paige and thanks for the quick answer. I tried but get the following message when I click on the link: Starting with 12/31/2023, Adobe has ended support for downloading Lightroom 6.14. This means that you'll not be able to download Lightroom version 6.14.
I recently had to purchase a new computer. I have been unable to find my Lightroom 6.0 CD to reinstall and the adobe site tells me I can no longer download. Can anybody advise how I can get a CD for Lightroom 6.0?
We are running Photoshop and Illustrator in an enterprise environment and we don't want creative cloud on this environment. Unfortunately, every time you deploy Photoshop or Illustrator on a server, this "creative cloud" malware/virus auto-installs itself (this is what makes it a malware/virus).
I have blocked creative cloud in the firewall, and have become pretty adept at finding all the pieces of this malware/virus and removing it, but is there a way to ensure it never installs in the first place?
Thanks. I'm getting absolutely sick and tired of this, I'm looking to a way to have it reported as a virus and added to my anti-virus malware/virus definitions.
Well, its not a virus. If you are in the enterprise you know that software often has complex frameworks and multiple pieces. Leave the installation alone. Photoshop and Illustrator are PARTS of Creative Cloud and if you start deleting things you will be back here complaining about your software not working.
No, it installs itself whenever you install a different piece software (Photoshop or Illustrator). That's what makes it a virus. If I install Chrome, and another program I didn't not give permission to run auto-installs itself without permission and sets it up to start up when you computer starts and runs in the background, all without permission, that's called a VIRUS.
It can. We have a license for every seat. We just want to remove the "creative cloud" malware/virus.
I even talked to support to get a version of the installers that don't include the malware/virus, which they provided, but the installers still secretly installed creative cloud, the difference is they simply don't tell you it's being installed but it shows up on the machine after the install process anyways. This is how viruses and other malicious malware operate. Adobe needs to be punished for this, and users need a way to eliminate this malware/virus from their machines and prevent it from installing.
I'm a sysdmin, I do this for a living, I probably know a lot more about software than you.
It's very simple, if it's the same program, how come I can remove it and Photoshop and Illustrator still run?
It's not the "same program" is a malware/virus that Adobe bundled with their software because they don't respect their customers and think it's OK to push malware/viruses on their customer's computers.
Well that fact that you think malicious software that installs itself without a user's permission is not a virus or malware shows you don't know much about software or IT to start with. The fact that you claim CC is "part of photoshop" when photoshop runs just fine if you manually remove the CC virus provides further evidence that you don't know much about software.
Alternatively, you do know plenty about software [ abuse removed by moderator ]
Ultimately, I didn't come here to debate with virus / malware apologists [ abuse removed by moderator ]. I wanted a solution to this problem. If all you can provide is excuses, I think there's nothing else for me here.
Any program that installs itself without permission while piggy-backed onto another program is a virus. If you are trying to hide a cherry-picked definition of a virus, it's still malware. Either way, it's malicious software that installs itself without permission. It needs to be reported to malwarebytes and AV as a virus so it's removed automatically and blocked, until Adobe learns to ask the user's permission before installing software.
Also, why you would ever try to defend software installing itself without a user's permission is beyond me. I guess Adobe is relying on [ abuse removed by moderator ]to protect them from the backlash from their anti-user, anti-consumer behavior, but the true is they need to be punished for it so they learn their lesson.
Fortunately, most other developers are not malicious like Adobe is, and most don't try the same stunts, but I bet if what Adobe does with CC became common practice, you'd see AV programs and other security-oriented software stepping up to shut down such a toxic and dangerous (from a security perspective) trend.
"Adobe Community Professional" is a funny title given your response being on a forum for professionals using the same type of gaslighting technique teenage boys attempt to employ when I play the occasional online game. Take your toxicity to DMs with me if you want to do this. You're embarrassing yourself.
And the reason I indirectly call comnment like yours apologism is because it is not paranoia, it is measurable, objective fact. The only psychosis-aligned thinking is your blindness to these shady designs is because language like mine and saturn's is probably 'is too extreme of language' for your 'professional' sensibilities.
I am a working UX designer, developer, and technical pedantic who is here to call out brazen dark patterns from Adobe when I see them. Regardless, name calling, especially direct name-calling is unprofessional at best and ableist at worst because whether or not you knew I have dealt with (and successfully come out of) mental illness challenges. Perhaps you should examine the damage your words can do before commenting on a benign pointing out of truth.
creative cloud run like a virus, i disable it to star by when i on the computer beacause it kill my data paket, but it still start even without permition, i try to uninstal it, no no no! it block me... impossible!
I am a long time coustomer of adobe suite, i love photoshop and lightroom, i pay for it ! but in the resent year this way of forsing the customer to be connected at all time is getting more and more on my nerv, i lost few day of work because i was not able to get a connection (i leave in laos where the internet is really bad) I HAVE A LICENCE , I PAY FOR IT but i still get block by this virus way of doing things i really would like to buy the [ removed by moderator ] software and use it in peace!
Space-based imagery now provides the GIS professional with the ability to monitor isolated regions and minority groups at risk of environmental exploitation and human rights abuse. Increased economic globalization and climate change pressure will likely increase the frequency and intensity of regional ethnic and resource motivated conflict. Although the use of high resolution satellite imagery for monitoring human rights abuse was proposed even before the conflict in the former Yugoslavian state of Bosnia, only in the last decade has satellite imagery of sufficiently high resolution become available for mainstream human rights applications. Operators such as GeoEye have provided metric earth observation and analysis with satellites such as IKONOS 2, which travels in a roughly 423km altitude polar orbit around the earth.
I was invited by Survival International, a human rights organization focused primarily on indigenous groups around the globe, to look closely at the Grasberg mine complex in Irian Jaya (West Papua). This request followed previous studies I had been involved with in southern Sudan and Zimbabwe (1-2). We applied to the GeoEye Foundation for satellite imagery data covering this region.
The intention of this particular human rights study was to monitor mining corporation activities in these poorly documented regions. Very few maps and data are available for these areas due to their inherent inaccessibility. It should be noted that severe passive opposition (such as placarded marches, public awareness, use of national and international media, etc.) and active opposition (including deliberately damaging equipment, damaging fuel lines, etc.) near the Grasberg mine has resulted in concerted media interest world-wide. Access to this region is significantly restricted. The recent deaths of two U.S. journalists and the West Papuan leader, Kelly Kwalik, close to the mine in late December 2009 only served to heighten existing tensions in the Irian Jaya region. Kwalik had advocated passive resistance to the occupation of tribal homelands by Indonesian military forces.
A key challenge for confirming human rights abuse allegations is a rapid response to the claims and reports, which often lack precise locations on the ground. Effective and timely response by the international media and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is hindered by not knowing the size of affected areas, or distribution of numbers of people affected. Furthermore, there is often unwillingness by the local governments to permit access to foreign press members who might verify poor living conditions or provide humanitarian relief to potential "enemies of the state." These fears create a xenophobic response to outside influences. This is evidenced by the rapid response of the international community in the aftermath of Cyclone Nargis in 2008, which was sadly short-circuited to a great extent by the reticence of the Burmese authorities to receive aid.
There has been considerable concern about the indigenous Amungme and Komoro tribes, with the expansive growth in the Grasberg mine. This mine is operated by Rio Tinto (a U.S. registered company) as a 40% joint venture partnership with Freeport McMoran Copper and Gold (FCX) run in partnership with the Indonesian Government. PT Freeport Indonesia (PTFI) is a subsidiary of the U.S. company, Freeport McMoran Copper and Gold Inc. Freeport McMoran Copper and Gold Inc. is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, and PTFI is listed on the Jakarta Stock Exchange. This mine is the largest gold mine in the world and the third largest copper mine - a significant factor in the Indonesian economic sector.
A relatively recent (2006) and comprehensive report (3) by WAHLI - the Indonesian Forum for Environment, the environmental watchdog of Indonesia - stated significant concerns over Rio Tinto's continued failure to address human rights and workers' rights, as well as shortcomings in environmental protection. The report listed the following: legal breaches, copper wastage and pollution, engineering inadequacies, vegetation smothering, tailings toxicity, estuary habitat destruction, contamination of estuary food chain and ecological disruption.
WALHI's recommendations were very forthright. It recommended that the government immediately enforce national environmental law by halting Freeport-Rio Tinto operations until breaches were remedied, undertake its own thorough and regular sampling, re-examine tax and royalty arrangements, and establish an independent panel to define various issues including processing and waste management. Local communities protesting against environmental and cultural damage by the mine's expansion and operations have been subject to a range of measures including harassment, torture and even murder. It is on such grounds that the Norwegian Pension Fund finally disinvested from Rio Tinto in 2008. For the Amungme and Komoro tribes, the reduction of the once magnificent Mt. Grasberg, one of the largest peaks of the Sudirman range of West Papua, to an intensely excavated plateau has been quite devastating. Tribes were forcefully relocated, leaving thousands of indigenous people removed from their traditional farming and food gathering territories. Moving Amungme to the more tropical lowlands brought people without natural malarial immunity into contact with malaria carrying mosquitoes, which has led to an increase in mortality rates.
The vast Grasberg copper and gold mine (figure 1), at over 2.6M hectares, was first prospected thoroughly by Dutch geologists in the 1930s. It comprises several delicate ecosystems - alpine meadow, wetland and mangrove forest - which make this environmental site world-renowned for its range and diversity of flora and fauna. The mine is seen at the left with glaciers at the right. The accelerated rate of mine and infrastructure development and consequential environmental destruction are set against a backdrop of rising tension. The strong indigenous desire for West Papuan independence, which began during the Indonesian occupation in the1960s, places Grasberg's Freeport mine as a strong contender for the worst case of environmental and human rights abuse of any mining project currently underway in the world.
