#Adobe creative suite price code
Looking at Lightroom’s last two updates almost all of the concentration looks to be on mobile usage instead of fixing their antiquated code for the real version. Recently it has seemed as if Adobe has taken the Apple approach to their product line, in that they tend to focus more on mobile-optimization than improving their product line for professional use. They work less so for professional grade apps that peddle the same features year after year, with nothing more than a few tweaks here and there. Subscriptions work for services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and those little monthly boxes all of which promise something new and exciting. Suddenly you are paying $600 a year, in perpetuity, to stay under the Adobe umbrella. If you want to use the “ world’s best creative apps” to edit video, mix sound, or produce special effects you either have to pay $20 for each individual application or pay $50 a month for access to the entire suite. When you first visit Adobe’s main page the words that are greeting you make believe that with the “ world’s best creative apps” you can make anything regardless of your discipline, as long as you make it with Creative Cloud. But what if you’re not into the subscription plan? What if you’re not happy with Lightroom? What if, frankly, you want options? The plan is actually a great deal if you are just doing photography. On paper, the $10 a month Photography Creative Cloud Plan from Adobe looks like one of the better deals out there for photographers, where, for the same price as two Venti Caramel Macchiatos, you get access to Lightroom and Photoshop for your computer, a handful of mobile apps, and your own portfolio website.
