subscription? no thanks

I am beyond fatigued with subscriptions.

Your attention span is less than impressive I see 👀

I wasn't a fan of the old model, i.e paying £600 just for Photoshop on it's own with no major updates ever. If you wanted updates/version upgrade you had to buy the upgrade license for not much of a discount from the full RRP. At least subscriptions make the products available to all.

And lets face it, your work should be covering the costs of the tools to do your job anyway....

Not all of us are pros. Some of us are hobbyist where our hobby doesn't bring in cash.

Yeah, given how high the sticker price of Adobe’s individual apps used to be, an all-access monthly subscription has actually made their entire suite more accessible, legitimate grumbling about the pervasiveness of subscription models notwithstanding.

If you're a student you can get this for $19.99/month

 

[vertsix]

If you take a flight to Turkey and purchase it there, it's even cheaper!

 

[Apple Knowledge Navigator]

Honestly, the photography plan (Ps + Lr and some extras, plus storage) is amazing value compared to the old model, especially given the rate of updates.

 

[randolorian]

It's a trap!

 

[arkitect]

Uk gets 50% off.

Oh wait… that's only for 3 months.

🙄

 

[randolorian]

Go for the Affinity suite instead.

True, but they know what they're doing by not offering a cheaper bundle plan.

Many professionals don't require 20+ apps but often just 3-4.

"Introductory offers" to subscriptions always seem slimy to me - "We'd like to thank you for being our customer for 1 year, so we'll charge you more money than the new customers who we just met."

 

[olavsu1]

It's a trap!

Yes. Under the terms of service is a completely different story. There, the price for the first year is twice as high as in the announced offer.
In EU I see in "Terms of service" such text: "currently the package is at a reasonable price of €68.12/month (incl. VAT) or €787.19/yeaEUR/year (incl. VAT) in the first year"

In theory, if you were to sign up as a student, you could theoretically get a bigger discount, as they don't ask for proof, in theory of course. It worked for mysel- my friend.

Subscription numbers leveling off, Adobe?

The need to show "growth" or "increasing growth" to investors and shareholders every quarter, at all costs, is going to be the death of the modern world.

 

[Dan From Canada]

I used to be a fan of Adobe products and updated annually.
Ever since they started the subscription model not at all.

My daughter is in university here in Canada and pays the student model price.
I am not sure if they ever verified her attendance.

They offer the photography plan which is what I pay for. It gives me Photoshop, Lightroom, Lightroom Classic, Premiere Rush & full Photoshop on iPad for £120 a year or you can pay monthly. Can't complain about that.

I think you can subscribe individually to different apps but it usually works out cheaper to just go for the full CC subscription if you need more than a few.

 

[CloneBB]

As an amateur just getting into photography as a hobby, I am trying to figure out what to use.

An student ISIC card and useraccount in school mail server is required.

I don’t mind paying a monthly subscription for the photography plan, lightroom and photoshop are amazing. What I do mind is being locked in for 12 months at a time, and what I mind even more is when they quietly renew you for another 12 months without you realising.

I think a big problem Adobe has is that it's getting harder to ignore that there are so many good alternatives to their products that DON'T require a subscription (or in some cases, are free and open-source software).

Some examples include Pixelmator Pro or Krita instead of Photoshop, Inkscape instead of Illustrator, DaVinci Resolve or HitFilm Express instead of Premiere Pro, Scribus instead of InDesign, etc.

Getting access to Adobe Fonts is pretty cool though.
