If only Adobe hadn't enough of a monopoly to be able to demand arbitrary prices.
- rodgerd 11y agoI finally got on the Adobe train this year, because the cost of the photographer bundle is trivial. It's less than a Dropbox subscription at this point. If ~$10/month is too much for the best photo organiser and the market leading photo manipulation software, then you're basically saying no-one should be able to make any money out of software, ever.
- creshal 11y agoIn the EU it's more $15… for the photographer special offer that can disappear any time. Anything else, $25 per app or $70 for everything. With a yearly subscription. Otherwise it's $100. That's a lot of money considering the old creative suite used to cost less than $2000 in total. More like ~$500 per year or less.
