Many of you know that I urge everyone to back up their photo library - photos and catalog - and all your other documents to one or more external hard drives and also to a cloud backup service. I have worked with two clients in the past week who were running Backblaze and Carbonite cloud backup [...]

If you use the Creative Cloud application to install applications and updates, it can be confusing and tedious to have to scroll through applications you don't use to find the ones that you do - for example, Lightroom Classic users will also see the cloud-based Lightroom CC application even if it's not installed, and it's easy [...]
