Hi Christine, Thanks. How did you find that out about punch and sharpness? Is there a site somewhere that reveals these arcane secrets?
It's true for version 6 and earlier that the catalogue must be on a local drive, but of course it can't be true* for CC otherwise it wouldn't work across devices. The difference is (I assume - I haven't looked into it yet) that with CC the catalogue is not a separately locatable thing, from the user's point of view. If I decide to subscribe to CC then I will migrate everything. It's easier to have everything in one place. Adobe seem fairly generous with the storage. I will look into how I can sync automatically with my local storage for back-up, not use, in case Adobe gets deleted overnight by Russian hackers.
