So, what do you think? Are you ready to pay a monthly subscription for your license of the various Adobe programs you use? Let’s break it down a little bit… The Prosīasically, the subscription-based business model is a huge bargain for large studios that use tons of software. For more pricing information, click HERE. Subscription plans are already available for the current versions of Adobe software, and range from $20 per month for a single App license (such as Photoshop & Bridge CS6) to $69 per month for a team-based Creative Suite 6 license, plus 100 GB of online storage for collaboration on projects. (Here at SLR Lounge, for example, a single project such as our Natural Light Couples Portraiture DVD would consume 200-300 GB worth of total storage!) Of course there are also cloud-based storage options, but at a mere 20-100 GB worth of hosted storage, you’re really only going to be able to host one or two small jobs at a time. It is only the software licensing that will be a monthly subscription.
You won’t be forced to upload 100% of your work and do your post-production over an internet connection, or anything silly like that. To clarify some details: Adobe software will still be installed on your computer itself. What does this mean? In other words, within a generation or two of Adobe software, monthly subscriptions (AKA, the Creative Cloud) may be the only option available if you want to stay up to date with the latest software, or if you simply buy a new camera and want to process its RAW photos.
According to Adobe’s MAX conference that is taking place right now here in Los Angeles, we will soon be working in a subscription-only environment. The plan can be purchased at, via phone at 1-80 or via major retailers.Adobe does already offer an option for subscription-based software licensing, although currently it is an optional offering for those who want it. "We are currently running a number of tests on. "From time to time, we run tests on which cover a range of items, including plan options that may or may not be presented to all visitors to ," read the company's statement. Pay $20 and you can use as little or as much as you want for an entire month."Īn Adobe spokesperson person told The Verge that the company is just testing this price out. "Most people spend double this every month on entertainment apps. "$20 a month isnt an obscene price to pay for something I use every day that nets me almost my entire income," Fawnduu told Newsweek. Many state that the changes will push them into using alternative editing software like Affinity, which contains tools similar to Photoshop, but only charges a one-time payment.Īdobe literally asking people to pirate their software at this point.- SeizeTheBeat May 2, 2019įawnduu, a twitter artist with over 8,000 followers and author of a popular LGBT Webtoon, My Dragon Girlfriend downplayed the overall impact of the price hike. The new price has polarized twitter's artist community. However, the cloud storage was not what many users say they enjoyed about the plan, with some now saying the price change ruins the affordability aspect that made the plan so appealing in the first place. However, the increased price places it in the same bracket as the other plans, while only adding the bonus of significantly increased cloud storage.Īt the new rate, Adobe gives users 1 TB of cloud data, a rather sizable increase from the previous 20 GB included with the $10 plan. Prior to this change, the basic photography plan, which included Adobe mainstays like Lightroom CC, Lightroom Classic CC, Photoshop CC, found popularity among artists for being lower priced than other Adobe plans while still including a robust toolset. Adobe is doubling the cost of the Creative Cloud Photography plan, raising it from $10 to $20, according to PetaPixel.
