Tom, I don't have it so can't comment on the usability aspect but as far as I know the application software resides in each computer and doesn't matter whether it's Mac or PC.

I don't think there is a limit to the number of computers you download it to. From what I understand you log in and use it wherever you happen to be on whichever computer you choose.

I think you have the option to store images in Adobe's cloud (their online server) or on your own storage whatever that may be.

These are my interpretations from what I have read while researching for myself because I am interested. I have multiple computers but can't justify multiple licences. As I see it, I can have as many computers loaded with Photoshop as I wish at various locations, and simply sit down and use it any time anywhere.

It may also be, especially for Lightroom that saving changes will not involve saving the entire image but a record of the changes made, which is a sort of text file of data of the changes not the actual edited image which will actually be tiny like the sidecar files for NEF's but buried in the Lightroom database.

Perhaps keeping a copy of NEF's on the Adobe Cloud together with the sidecar files and then have local copies of the TIFF and JPEG files would be a good way to work? There are many options. The new iDisk in the iCloud is very interesting and may evolve into a very useful seamless feature too.

We are living in interesting times.
