- Adobe has announced pricing changes to its Creative Cloud subscriptions that will take effect from the middle of next month.
- It cited “continued innovation” as a reason to overhaul the pricing for its creative software suite.
- The changes only affect users in the US, Canada, and Mexico for now.
Do you see this guy ?
His name is Shantanu Narayen. Chairman and CEO of Software.
In 2010, he made $875 000 dollars a year.
Today - 15 years later - he makes $43 million dollars a year :

Like most big company CEOs, he makes sure only friends are named on the board.
For him, it’s just a game. “How high can I go? I love milking these stupid peasants”
Serif has entered the chat.
Edit: FYI every time you try to cancel your subscription they offer a year at $39.99 per month for a year. Last year I tried to cancel and they gave me that offer. At that price it’s a pretty good deal so I took it; well it just so happens that today that year was up and when I tried to cancel the offer popped up again. So i guess I’ll stay with them for another year.
I would argue that the open source alternatives to much of adobe software suite is better and free so fuck Adobe
You would be wrong. There is nothing close to Photoshop and many others. Sadly that is the case.
I switched over to Affinity since 2019. I never saw any need to go back to Adobe.
Affinity is awesome, at least until Canva starts demanding a subscription model.
Still worth it.
I’d rm -rf my computer rather than using adobi*** products.
Exactly, you are not their target user.
Many people, including myself until recently, would also do a lot to rid themselves of adobe, but for us it just isn’t possible.
On the other hand, their subscription isn’t that high, compared to so many other subscriptions.
DaVinci Resolve left the chat
Well at least we have alternative for maya= blender ,premier = davinci resolve,about Photoshop yeah there no same level powerful tools the closest I used is krita.
That works. I think I could probably get away with using Inkscape instead of illustrator, but it would be a struggle, because with it I can’t copy paste vectors to other apps. InDesign is completely alone in it’s category.
Adobe is the standard everyone uses. You can’t be a pro and collaborate without it.
It’s like 35€ per month. There are so many subscriptions out there now. Everything is a subscription. 35€ isn’t even that much anymore, considering all the apps you get.
Personally when I even using I don’t give them a penny ,always pirate edition and btw it’s possible to run Photoshop cs6 through wine.
Photopea has been great, probably not the best for power users, but it’s basically a clone of the Photoshop UI.
And theyre probably feeding your harddrive to an AI while pretending they dont know anything
After using Adobe CS6 for 10 years as refusing to upgrade to CC I switched to Mac and got the Affinity programs. Cost $50 for each of the Photoshop, Illustrator and Publisher equivalent programs with no monthly costs. Universal licensing across all platforms!
Also the developers are in Ukraine
Try affinity to replace photoshop it’s a one time cost and darktable for Lightroom it’s free.
Probably preaching to the choir here, but breaking up with Adobe is great :)
We need Affinity Photo for Linux asap… Even on a VM both Affinity Photo and Affinity Photo 2 keep crashing for some reason…
Have you tried running it with Wine? No idea if it’ll work, just curious.
Yes, but it doesn’t even install properly. There’s a custom fork of Wine specifically for Affinity Photo and it works somewhat but it’s very slow and crashes a lot.
“Trump and his damn tariffs made us do this!!” /s
Wouldn’t have noticed. 😏
