Yes, you just checked a few boxes on a website and in your program, now everything is OK, right? Just like in Windows in the telemetry section. Press a few buttons and live happily ever after. And after the next update everything is turned back on.
I don't understand how you must sign a contract where you agree on Adobe using your data for machine learning (AI) and at the same time you can manually disable AI learning through the software, de flagging some boxes. Is pretty clear that something is fishy here, basically contractual terms and what you did in the tutorial are in conflict, it's pretty clear that one will override the other, which one is it ? I think the contract has much more legal value and all the boxes regarding AI will magically disappear in the next upgrade.
Nice to the point video. I found in the latest version of Photoshop the PREFERENCES is now under PHOTOSHOP->SETTINGS->PRODUCT IMPROVEMENT. The rest was the same. Hope this helps.
As soon as I start doing my layouts on Scribus instead of indesign and gimp edited images instead of photoshop, I am sure no one will want train on my data because it would be pure crap. 😂
Just so you know, Adobe will STILL collect "analytical" data from the apps as it's part of their EULA, so I doubt turning these off is going to do much. It will probably prevent them from uploading your data behind the scenes (ie. work you might be doing), but that's about it. They will continue to collect data (generally statistical data). But this isn't specific to ADobe, as this "analytical" data collection is done by almost every software company. But this will at least reduce what Adobe can do with your data. And by the way in most EULAs the phrase "By using the product or service, you agree to..." is used and means that if you use the product, you automatically agree to whatever terms, and the only way to DISAGREE is to not use the product at all.
I asked Chatgpt about what you said this is it's response: Yes, the statement you provided is generally accurate. Here are the key points broken down: Analytical Data Collection by Adobe: Adobe, like many other software companies, collects analytical data as part of their End User License Agreement (EULA). This data typically includes usage statistics, performance metrics, and other non-personal information intended to improve their products and services. Even if you turn off certain settings in Adobe apps, it may not completely stop the collection of all types of data. It might prevent the upload of specific types of data, like the work you are doing, but general analytical data might still be collected. Industry-Wide Practice: The practice of collecting analytical data is common across the software industry. Most software companies include similar clauses in their EULAs to gather usage data that helps in enhancing their products and services. Impact of Turning Off Data Collection: Disabling data collection features in the app settings can reduce the amount of data Adobe collects, but it is unlikely to eliminate it entirely. This is because some level of data collection is typically embedded in the core functioning of the software and is often covered under the terms agreed upon in the EULA. EULA Terms: EULAs often contain phrases like "By using the product or service, you agree to...," which means that by using the software, you are consenting to its terms and conditions. The only way to disagree with these terms is to not use the software at all. In summary, while you can reduce the amount of data collected by tweaking settings, some data collection will likely continue due to the nature of the EULA and the standard practices in the software industry.
Thank you so much for the clear instructions (which I have completed). If you find a Lightroom replacement that services my workflow I will jump at the opportunity to cancel my Adobe subscription. I have subscribed to you channel for future content. All the best!
I have the desktop version only - don't use the cloud. It looks like all I need to do is change the security settings in my account. Anyone know more about this? Thanks.
Best way is to stop altogether or keep using Cs6. I knew way back then the sub model was buttrape and cloud was terrible idea ... And yet another reason to give it the finger. Opting out won't stop em from using your stuff. Cs6 ftw.
I managed to find my preference using a search function, but it is not in my drop-down menu. Once in there, there is the 'Yes I'd like to Participate' check box, but the second box, the 'I give Adobe permission box', is gone. weird.
I'd love to know exactly when Adobe started doing this, and what about our work that we have done up until the point of changing the pre-checked boxes allowing for them to possibly scrape our work for machine learning, etc?
they can still use it even if the boxes are unchecked of, that's the hole point of the obligatory policy, they don't need your concent to use your work how when they see fit
I’ve always had the second option unchecked. I will have to double check now to see if it is still off or was reset. Of course I haven’t updated to the latest Photoshop because of the whole Generative Fill/AI BS and not getting answers since I’ve been asking before it’s launch of sourcing. Appreciate the info. Hopefully it works. It should be an opt-in system or at least give us an opt-out. Update: after checking the first option was rechecked, so I’m guessing that’s something we’ll need to check often. Also, their notations on selections say that Adobe Stock content will still be used for machine learning as well any content that uses their AI. I don’t use the AI and won’t, so hopefully I’ll be fine.
Wow, so when I click on my Data and privacy settings, the page is now blank and just reads "There are no third party apps connected to your account." None of the other options you show here are available.
I think the first thing to do, until the issue is fully clarified by ADOBE, is to inform collaborators and clients that when working with personal or sensitive content (of whatever nature they may be) ADOBE products will not be used, warning that the production process could be slower but with guarantees of privacy that otherwise could not be guaranteed.
I used to be seriously into Adobe products. But when they went to a subscription only format I quit using all of their products. The writing was on the wall way back then. For me it was a painless transition. I suspect some professionals are locked in to Adobe products for various reasons, but if not, then I recommend dropping them as well. The sad fact is that if folks stick with Adobe then Adobe calls the shots. And much like Apple, Google and YT, they don't care about you except as a resource.

I just shared your great video tip on my LinkedIn account, hope you will receive more views. One question though, what about other Adobe apps, I,m a heavy illustrator user, I couldn’t find the same menu like you showed us in Photoshop. Others have wondered about premier, or is it sufficient once you address it undear manage your account as you showed at the top of your video.?🙏
You know what? I used to turn it on too because I hoped it would improve the products. But I've adopted the view of Lex Luthor in the 1978 Superman movie: "It's not that I don't trust you, Otis, but...I don't trust you."
Just cancel it like I did. Much much easier. Opt in by default, hiding this in the settings, having user disable that in 2 or more places. Deceptive behavior. Not a penny from me anymore.
Hey fella, thanks for this, but my dropdown menu looks exactly like yours, except there is no 'Preferences' in it. I even reset the program to factory settings, and it's not there. Any thoughts?
I have 25.9.1 but do not see Product Improvement under Settings or anywhere else. Nor do I see these settings in my Creative Cloud account under Manage Account. What am I missing?
I set "share data" option to off many, many months ago and the setting by default in PS is to off (at least in my case) and it has not changed with any updates or such.
Anyone can share what they use for image cataloging/ collections? What keeps me in Adobe land is Lightroom, as I use it for cataloging, some image processing. I have a bunch of PSDs… What would the alternative be for cataloging and what to do with all the PSDs..?
Why do need to cancel twice. At login should be enough. The fact its automatically checked as agreed is not cool at all. Thank you for highlighing what I guess is obvious. I need to start looking for alternatives.
Adobe products are not the only ones who have this or ask to use what you do to better products. I guess most just never pay attention to messages that pop up during set up on most devices and new software set up
To not have Adobe stealing art from people would be to jump platforms entirely. And not just deleting apps and accounts. AI on Android and Microsoft are leaking addresses and personal information. Your not prone to being hacked on Linux or BSD or even Apple products as often as Android and Windows because encryptions are completely different. Windows and Microsoft need a software overhaul, but it means have other programmers from different platforms to help with Google Gemini and Windows Copilot+PC.
Does this option in Photoshop exists in other adobe software , like illustrstor or lightroom or even lightroom mobile ? Thank u once again , this is so frustrating
But this is absurd. It's just like one of those web sites where you need to click a button to confirm your age in order to gain access. That button in preferences was just formally implemented there for legal purposes. But in reality they always had access to your data and will continue to have it.
Thanks. I recommend everyone also document their changing of the settings using screen recording software like OBS or their even their phone camera--just in case. You never know with companies going so aggro against their own customers lately, and violating their own policies. it's better to be safe than sorry.
@@StudioBuilder i called Adobe tech, they told me this only happens in Photoshop because it’s widely used, therefore other Adobe apps are not involved. But wha you showed at the top of your video is good enough, thanks.
I have a question. Does Adobe only take stuff and use it for their AI if it is saved on the cloud? I ask as I don’t save anything to the cloud, so I’m curious.
@@StudioBuilder may I ask what do you use for cataloging images? I am considering leaving CC but the 2 things that keep me in are Lightroom (for cataloging not image processing per se) and PDFs..
Lightroom doesn't (yet) appear to have this specific Photoshop preference - in Lightroom you can go to Help/Manage My Account ... to set the Adobe CC 'Data and privacy settings' preferences as explained in this video.
Is it just for Windows users? I cannot see these options either under Data & Privacy settings on my Adobe account or in Photoshop preferences. There are no such options on my MacBook Pro (Sonoma 14.4). Data & Privacy settings say "There are no 3rd party apps linked to your account." Then I opened preferences in Photoshop and typed "AI" in the search bar, and then I was able to see these options. And it was not checked.
@@StudioBuilder Just found out that since I am part of a team, I cannot see these settings. I will talk to my company to make all the required changes. Thank you.
They're an untrustworthy company as we have seen their behaviour over the years. So even if you opt out, they may go ahead and use your projects and creations without telling you .... and you'll never know ! "Fool me once - shame on you, Fool me twice - shame on me"
They have also just granted themselves perpetual global licence to everything you make with their software. You can’t switch that off unfortunately. I’m not sure they will abide by those check boxes, in fact I am pretty sure they won’t.
Could there not be a case that we should have been paid for this, I mean they have been making huge profits and all without it users knowing. Surely there could be a case too, for all future profits, born from their unwitting participation. Sounds like a class action to me.
@@StudioBuilder Doesn't that sound a little like a criminal saying, I can't be arrested for breaking the law. I'm pretty sure that could be challenged too, as accepting the Ts & Cs that you have never read, or were ever likely to read, isn't defendable. I'm sure there is case law on that somewhere.
I predict the day of reckoning is coming for AI. I would very much like a copyright lawyer to see this post and give his opinion. I’m not a lawyer. This is just tidbits I’ve picked up over the years. 1) Part of copyright is reproduction through mechanical means is not allowed. The output of AI is “mechanical means”. 2) Everything is copyright *except* things specifically put into the public domain. Thus, 99% of everything on the internet is copyright by someone somewhere. 3) AI is trained by content found on the internet. My conclusion is that everything AI produces is a mechanical manifestation from its training. E.g. there is no human creative element to it. Everything from its training is from the internet. 99% of the internet is copyright. Thus, all of the output from AI is copyright by multitudes of people and all those people would have to give explicit permission to use its content - which isn’t going to happen.
Adobe are sly bastards. Those settings should be turned off by default. They should ask permission to image scrape. Adobe think that they are omnipotent, but hopefully momentum can change.😮😮
@@StudioBuilderYou said it all! I GUARANTEE that Affinity will be subscription based in about 1 year. Its coming. Trust me. Canva will work it in as soon as they feel they can ease it in.
@@StudioBuilder But you OWN the Affinity software. The problem I've had with Adobe is ... when you stop paying, the software stops working. I.e., you can no longer (natively) edit your own files! I was with Adobe for MANY years, almost from the very beginning, but the subscription model, to me, is abusive, at best. When that became the only option, I left. Yes, Canva is an unknown-who knows how it will turn out. BUT they seem to align much more with my values than Adobe, so far. I'm cautiously optimistic.
Exept this changes nothing bcuz it's the biggest gaslight ever You still signed the contract that lets them Burle those preferences if they so wish with no repercursion in exchanging for still holding you hostage with their program i'll use it for some time and cancel my subscription, and move on to something close enough, even if i whish it wasn't the case

yeah as its work in real life - you just told to criminal to stop criminal activity and he stops. everything is fine.
How to do the same with Instagram? Is it possible?
Not in North America. I checked yesterday.
They're an untrustworthy company as we have seen their behaviour over the years. So even if you opt out, they may go ahead and use your projects and creations without telling you .... and you'll never know !
"Fool me once - shame on you, Fool me twice - shame on me"
I'm deliberately not opting out so that its AI actually gets worse when it pulls my work in. You're welcome, everyone!
They have also just granted themselves perpetual global licence to everything you make with their software. You can’t switch that off unfortunately. I’m not sure they will abide by those check boxes, in fact I am pretty sure they won’t.
Another option would be to block adobe apps with your firewall
Will the products still function with the firewall on?
Everything would be better if he had changed the currency to oak leaves.
Could there not be a case that we should have been paid for this, I mean they have been making huge profits and all without it users knowing. Surely there could be a case too, for all future profits, born from their unwitting participation. Sounds like a class action to me.
Adobe's TOS prohibit class actions.
@@StudioBuilder Doesn't that sound a little like a criminal saying, I can't be arrested for breaking the law. I'm pretty sure that could be challenged too, as accepting the Ts & Cs that you have never read, or were ever likely to read, isn't defendable. I'm sure there is case law on that somewhere.
Or you could just be a pirate... But you didn't hear that from me!
I just canceled….. no Matter how much u ‘NEED’ software there are Aternatives this shite
It's cute that you think those buttons actually do anything... heh...
Cancel it and never touch the toxic company ever again. Plenty of other software out there.
I mean, they say it, but do they mean it? They could be doing shady thing behind the scenes
I predict the day of reckoning is coming for AI. I would very much like a copyright lawyer to see this post and give his opinion. I’m not a lawyer. This is just tidbits I’ve picked up over the years.
1) Part of copyright is reproduction through mechanical means is not allowed. The output of AI is “mechanical means”.
2) Everything is copyright *except* things specifically put into the public domain. Thus, 99% of everything on the internet is copyright by someone somewhere.
3) AI is trained by content found on the internet.
My conclusion is that everything AI produces is a mechanical manifestation from its training. E.g. there is no human creative element to it. Everything from its training is from the internet. 99% of the internet is copyright. Thus, all of the output from AI is copyright by multitudes of people and all those people would have to give explicit permission to use its content - which isn’t going to happen.
I bet those options are checked on by default. Thanks for this but I think this is the last straw with Adobe, I'm moving on to something else.
Adobe are sly bastards. Those settings should be turned off by default. They should ask permission to image scrape. Adobe think that they are omnipotent, but hopefully momentum can change.😮😮
I doubt its enough, the best choice is to switch on affinity
I'm looking into Affinity, but Affinity is now owned by Canva, another billion-dollar corporation.
@@StudioBuilderYou said it all! I GUARANTEE that Affinity will be subscription based in about 1 year. Its coming. Trust me. Canva will work it in as soon as they feel they can ease it in.
@@StudioBuilder But you OWN the Affinity software. The problem I've had with Adobe is ... when you stop paying, the software stops working. I.e., you can no longer (natively) edit your own files! I was with Adobe for MANY years, almost from the very beginning, but the subscription model, to me, is abusive, at best. When that became the only option, I left. Yes, Canva is an unknown-who knows how it will turn out. BUT they seem to align much more with my values than Adobe, so far. I'm cautiously optimistic.
*For Now.
Slight title correction for you.
Exept this changes nothing bcuz it's the biggest gaslight ever
You still signed the contract that lets them Burle those preferences if they so wish with no repercursion in exchanging for still holding you hostage with their program
i'll use it for some time and cancel my subscription, and move on to something close enough, even if i whish it wasn't the case
