Photoshop Photography Program

Posted 20/11/2013 - 19:57 Link
For a limited time only Adobe have opened access to the Photoshop Photography Program for anyone who does not own a qualifying product.

The special Creative Cloud plan includes access to Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5, plus feature updates and upgrades as they are available, 20GB of cloud storage for file sharing and collaboration, and a Behance ProSite.

It will cost you £8.78/month when you sign up for a one-year plan, but you need to join by December 2, 2013.

Thanks for the post Mike, I believe somebody posted the same news in an earlier thread, I have had it for 4 months or so and love it, I always knew I had the advantage over most as far as my photography skills are concerned but using Photoshop elevates my advantages even more

Fallout from Adobe security breach continues... link

Not for me thanks. Adobe users passwords and accounts were compromised. More head in the cloud than creative cloud.

It seems a rather good deal to me. Obviously the cc thing isn't going as expected (by Adobe that is).

Two potential concerns:

i) The subscription is hiked after the initial twelve months offer period.

ii) Adobe goes bust and leaves you without desktop software.

Bless their hearts for making CS2 a free download. Coupled with a decent more up-to-date free RAW converter I have no need of this 'Creative Cloud' annoyance.

You have the software on your computer, it just regularly checks you subs are up to date

€12.29 here which equals 10.25 GBP.

So much for rip off Britain.

An interesting offer, but I'd be worried about the price hike next year.

Technically, they aren't in fact giving it away for free.

However, by removing the option to buy their software and insisting on the rental model, they deserve what they get IMO.
