The cost of this plan is £8.75 pm - does anyone know of any deals available?
Thanks.
Lots of gear - but not a lot of idea!

No, but you can buy it outright if you don't want to do a subscription.

Does that £8.75 include Photoshop?

Yes it does, as well as access from your iPad, iPhone or Android device.

You have just missed an introductory offer. It was something like £6.78 for the first 12 months. Seems to come round every now and again, if you want to hang on.

You can, but I don't think it will be as up to date as the plan version.

I only asked as I got the £6.78 deal a couple of months ago

At that price you can buy a new version every year! Or not, if feeling strapped and want to keep control of your money without losing what you have paid for.

My understanding is that you get more regular updates, cloud storage, and extra apps with the CC version over and above the stand alone.
You also get Photoshop.
I've looked at the options and have decided I want the cloud version, but don't want to miss a deal if there's one out there !

I don't know about Photoshop upgrades, but I have Lightroom 6 the last stand alone release. While the plan version has had new features added to it, like haze reduction, they have not been made available to stand alone users. Also, I've heard not any chatter about Adobe going to
bring out a new stand alone version. To me it looks like on plan or nothing.

Hey Mike,
The silly thing is that I watched The Camera Stores hands on review of the K70, and Chris Nicolls advertises this deal - but of course I didn't pay attention because I assumed it would be for Canadian subscribers only!
Anyway, thanks for re-drawing my attention to it - I have now subscribed to Lightroom CC, and downloaded the whole suite of programmes.
Once again, many thanks,
Malcolm
