I stopped using Adobe the day they switched to subscription. I literally would have paid them thousands of dollars since then but instead they have received ZERO from me. Affinity does just fine and I have bought 2 rounds of their software.

The modern age requires constant push back on subscription hell or your money will be siphoned away without you even noticing. The mental overhead and anxiety of having active subscriptions is not tenable.

I understand some people need Adobe for their businesses or workflows, so if you're making a lot of money with their software then more power to you. But for me requiring the occasional graphic design or photo touch-up, its is not something I'm interested in at any price.

Wait wait wait… the regular and student subscriptions are $60/month??? I had thought “well, I don’t like subscriptions, but if some day I need any Adobe app, I’ll just pay a month or two…” but with those prices, I think I won’t even consider that short term solution.

Do they even have plans that you can just buy for a month or two? I only see ANNUAL plans that you can pay monthly and if you cancel after 14 days, they charge you a "fee". Like everyone has said -- CRIMINALS.

Get Affinity apps. They're of professional quality and not a subscription and are dirt cheap.

This. Despite owning and upgrading a pricey Adobe Design Collection for years, when Adobe forced its subscription model that holds one's intellectual property hostage if you fail to continually pay every month I left Adobe forever. Eff Adobe.

Pixelmator and Affinity products suffice very well.

Adobe is a criminal organization. You HAVE to pirate Adobe software. Otherwise you support criminals.

Adobe made it very hard to cancel a subscription. That goes against EU laws and I am sure it also goes against US laws.

The best thing that everyone should do is support Adobe alternatives and insist that others maintain compatibility with them. "industry standard" is just corporate communism.

I have to have it due to work, unfortunately. I hate Adobe though for all they're worth and wouldn't pay for it otherwise.

BUT, a serious question to mainly Lightroom users and then Lightroom converts to something else. I would love to use Lightroom and have had the subscription for it, again the whole CC package only for work. But, I do have it. So that includes Lightroom.

However, I always fear being locked into the Adobe ecosystem, and I don't even really use Lightroom because I don't want all of my photos locked to Adobe if I ever decide to get out, which I hopefully will at some point.

There are some other options that I've seen passed around as alternatives, but with Apple's recent Pixelmator acquisition, I'm very curious about how Photomator mainly on the Mac compares?
I know it definitely won't fully compare, but I see that it does handle RAW, etc. I'm sure it's editing feature set is much less?

I know there are whole threads on this, but it's hard to find an answer with everyone recommending something different. So, can anyone say how well Photomator (not Pixelmator, while it's also a great editing app) stacks up compared to Lightroom for overall things like library management, editing and so on?
 
Adobe went subscription-only 11 years ago.

But for all the complaining I hear on forums about people hating subscriptions... apparently not enough people have cancelled their subscriptions to make Adobe to feel the pressure.

In fact... there are more people using Adobe software today than any other time in history.

Fascinating.
