Adobe’s greed is going to destroy the company soon. Already many lower level users are moving to alternatives that meet their needs. Those of us who often use some of Photoshop’s special features may soon change our techniques to avoid them in order to stop the outflow of money in the near future. I’ll miss 3D and a lot of my actions, but I won’t miss the money I’ll save. But then I’m an old pensioner. Young folks bringing in the big bucks can stick with Adobe when they cross the price threshold. I’ll just encourage them to either keep… Read more »
I am afraid I agree with Leon. When I joined my camera club almost all used Photoshop, we are now down to a handful, only three pay for the Photographers plan.
Unfortunately I live in a country that our currency is about 30 percent less the USA, I only use PS and not lightroom or the other products that comes with the subscription. If it goes up in price I will seriously have to weight my options.
Adobe should tread very softly here. When it first changed to a subscription business model, it didn’t have near the competition that it has today.

I’m actually one of the odd ones here, I actually don’t mind the subscription plan. Of course I also have other subscriptions for things like Microsoft Office. The accountants are pushing this and with more and more stuff moving to the cloud I think its going to get more common. What I object to is that if feels like Adobe is pushing more and more to the cloud where for some of us the solution doesn’t work. Not to mention the ability to use other software along with it such as Aurora, NIK, etc. I suspect that Adobe has heard… Read more »
