Too little too late, they appear to on a damage mitigation road.

Your first drug injection is free

40% off perpetual license and I'm all over it.

I did this offer a few years back and when it ended, I cancelled and they offered me the same deal again, which I took. They offered it yet again for a third year, but I never used the apps enough to come close to justifying even the lower price so I bought Affinity for the handful of times I needed to work on one of my old Adobe documents.

Another headline:
Adobe takes 100% off all your creative works. Forever.
😁

 

[jimthing]

Acrobat Pro is their stupidest pricing ever invented.

 

[alexe]

That‘s not gonna save their overpriced subscription model. People have been switching to Affinity and other perpetual license products for a long time.

 

[BelgianChoklit]

Subscribing to Adobe is like stepping into the jaws of the death.

 

[Marco Klobas]

Meanwhile they just increased ~10% the subscription for existing subscribers (at least here in Italy).

 

[randolorian]

It's a trap! Don't fall for it.

 

[icanhazmac]

Meanwhile... don't pay any attention to the fact that we will charge you 40% more in the second year and make it nearly impossible for you to cancel your sub.

 

[Kissmo1980]

I still believe PS and LR are top tier on the market.
All that top tier is ruined by the subscription model and Adobe's questionable payment practices.

 

[m4mario]

And they recover it when you cancel after the first year.

For those who are thinking of taking advantage of this offer, this is what Adobe has been doing, from the FTC website:

FTC Takes Action Against Adobe and Executives for Hiding Fees, Preventing Consumers from Easily Cancelling Software Subscriptions​

Complaint charges that maker of Photoshop and Acrobat deceived consumers about early termination fees, inhibited cancellations.

 

[bcomer]

I never upload anything to their cloud atorage.

 

[SanderEvers]

$36/month and that's 40% off? For that money you can buy Affinity Photo... forever.

 

[macman1414]

macrumur should not give hand to this company or offer . it is mislead the reader of macruqmor to think this is a good value for money when it is far away from this in real. us, the reader here, trust you as a someone who see our benefits,

People discussing value should consider their needs in any argument.

It’s all very well saying “perpetual license”, but many users see the benefits of an on-going subscription model where you get continued investment.

For photographers, the Photography Plan is only £10 a month and that gets you Lightroom CC and Classic, Photoshop (all on desktop and mobile), cloud storage, Adobe Fonts (of which there are thousands and which can be used on software outside of Adobe suite), and portfolio. Even if you were only an amateur and didn’t generate income from photography, £10 a month for a hobby is peanuts compared to others. You could easily spend that in Starbucks on one visit!

I would say that’s good value for money considering that the software is continually updated and the access to all the additional features you have.

As the saying goes, “Your mileage may vary”, so let’s not complain about the price of things when you’re not using all the product.

 

[chindall1974]

My plan went up from $29 to $59 monthly. I could not afford that. I am a single user who does use the Apps but not enough. Luckily I went into support chat after consistently telling the AI their suggestions did not help. The agent was very kind. They gave me 3 months free and lowered my plan to $29 monthly.

What I learned is to be kind and patient. Sadly if they did not help I would have had to cancel. I am glad I did not have to.

 

[stinksroundhere]

I'm already on half price all apps plan since last year. You can get these discount plans by switching back and forth when you see them.

 

[stinksroundhere]

$36/month and that's 40% off? For that money you can buy Affinity Photo... forever.

Affinity Photo is a half assed version of Photoshop and you're comparing that against a whole suite of apps that literally almost the whole media economy runs on.

It's like you are advocating Libre Word Processor to replace all the Microsoft Office suite and services.

$10 a month, is still $120 a year. For that price you can buy Affinity photo plus quality cloud service that DOESN'T use your pictures for AI training. And have money left over for other stuff.

And updates? Every minor update 2.x to 2.y is free. And every major update is paid (but not required) and the software has a new major version every 4-5 years. Which comes down to $480-$600 of Photoshop.

 

[zilchfox]

Hell no. Don’t fall for it.

 

[Christoffee]

I have absolutely no use for Adobe software and never come across it in my personal or professional circles. And even I know they’re a scummy company.
