Because it’s aimed at photographers who raised a huge stink in the first place (I was one of them).
You don’t have to use it in the cloud too, all my camera photos are sitting in my drives, none of them have been uploaded to Adobe’s servers.
PS and LR at this price is cheaper than the perpetual licenses if I upgraded every other cycle, so it’s been cheaper for me. Of course there’s still cheaper alternatives for PS now (Affinity Photo is really good), but since I still use LR a lot and the cost is bearable, I stay on it.
No, it’s still US$10 for me for both. I wonder if it’s a regional thing, or Adobe are being sneaky bastards and hiding the cheaper version of the plan somewhere.
Lol. I just searched it man. No need to get all defensive. It’s not an argument. Instead of replying twice, you can also edit. But I don’t see that plan at all on mobile. It seems like an intentional design choice. There is no “look harder” when it simply doesn’t exist.
Yeh, I use 4 applications from Adobe in very limited amounts. I wish they did a pay as you use subscription! If you use them all every day it’s cheap, but I maybe use them about 10-15 hours per month at the most.
Traditional I would be working on a freelance basis with companies and teams that would only use adobe, and wanted files in those formats. Though as I’m doing more and more of work just for myself the alternatives are getting more tempting.
Paying forever is not a better deal than paying the price of a few months of use and then having it for years. Maybe a business can justify that, but for a hobby? No way.
Maybe a business can justify that, but for a hobby? No way.
Hobbyists CAN and DO get the $10/mo plan. It’s cheaper than most streaming services and if it’s a part of your workflow (as a hobby photographer, for example) then $10/month for a constantly updated software is a good deal.
Like if you don’t value photoshop at $10/month that’s okay but A LOT of people do.
Paying forever is not a better deal
I just ran into the not forever issue when I had to re-buy Affinity photo to get the newest version.
Workflow just wasn’t as good, it didn’t have a lot of the little features (search was definitely not as nice to use), and as a Nikon shooter back then, it never nailed the Nikon colours the way I wanted without very heavy post-processing, which was time I didn’t want to spend.

I mean I hate Adobe as much as the next guy but photoshop is like $10/month

Photography plan should still be US$10 for both PS and LR.

Eh, would you prefer that to be US$20 each instead? Why are you ideologically opposed to something when there are benefits?

That’s not what I see.

It’s 100% regional. After you mentioned it, I dug this up:

It will eventually come to everyone.
Seriously, using a 4 year old article to justify your stance?

Look harder

Ah, I see, you’re on “All”, on the left tab. Hit the “Photo” and you should see it. They’re really hiding the cheaper option now!
I think they were saying $10 per software.
I have the $10 plan.

Americans will talk of $10 a month like it’s chump change. It’s more expensive than my water bill.
Now add every other tool that decides to take the same approach.
If you’re using photoshop in a business or hobby capacity, $10/month is a fairly good deal.
I personally use Affinity Photo but I’m not going to pretend that it has feature parity with photoshop.

$10 is also more expensive than my water bill in the US*. I purposely have as few subscriptions as possible.
*other utility bills are higher though, like sewer capacity, which is $17/mo.
Affinity Photo is $60 once and you own it forever, with free updates. It’s pretty much the only actually good Photoshop replacement.
Yep I use and love affinity photo. It works well for my needs.
GIMP is free and also doubles as a way to express just how much I hate myself!
Free minor updates. And if you buy it a month before a major version update, you get nothing. Ask me how I know :/.

Photopea is free and in browser as well
Being a browser app is not a plus imo. I’ll take a snappy native app over easy portability every day.
They need to do a LR replacement, then I’ll just switch to Affinity.
Darktable is an excellent replacement
I’ll try it again, but several years ago when I tried it I didn’t find it as good.
There have been a few changes, but it is mostly the same I think.
Out of interest, what wasn’t as good?
Workflow just wasn’t as good, it didn’t have a lot of the little features (search was definitely not as nice to use), and as a Nikon shooter back then, it never nailed the Nikon colours the way I wanted without very heavy post-processing, which was time I didn’t want to spend.
