Looks like they might try to raise prices: https://forums.macrumors.com/thread...hy-plan-with-photoshop-and-lightroom.2180059/
Adobe testing a new price point for the Creative Cloud Photography Plan
- Thread starter ethanz
- Start date
My use is lightroom 99% of the time, but having photoshop for the few difficult cases is nice. I purchase the 1 year paid in advance version when it goes on sale, so I'm paid thru June 2020. I might buy another year if they go on sale.

It's interesting to know that companies have no shame to offer the same product at different prices - just to test if
Anyway it looks they are trying to force people to buy 1TB cloud storage anyway - removing the option with 20GB only. And probably trying to see if that boosts the sales of "Cloud Lightroom". As most companies, they are now obsessed in collecting users data points.

They do. Just go to the Photoshop page (https://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop.html) and you will find the "Adobe Photoshop Single App" at $20.99/mo...

I never really understand why people willingly go into the "rental" model when ownership is available. And using their cloud? Just how secure is it really?
I'm pretty much going to avoid Adobe now - I have yet to embrace the monthly payment plan, and have been using a previous version of Lightroom for the last couple of years.

That's about what we poor Europeans are already paying...but for 20 GB!
Too bad I hate Capture one...yet, updating Capture one isn't cheap either.
You might look into On1 RAW as a LR substitute. I've been using it for a bit over a year now I think and so far, I'm impressed.
I knew Adobe CC would start jacking up prices once they got their claws into everyone. I just do NOT like the rental model for software.
There are more and MORE viable alternatives for Adobe products that are not subscription.<P>
Davinci Resolve (especially with version 16 coming) - Can replace Premier, After Effects, Audition, and then as a bonus you get some of the best Color Grading software out there. The free version does everything about 98% of the people out there need.
Affinity Photo - Can replace Photoshop pretty readily, faster engine too.
On1 RAW (and others) - replacement for LR.
Affinity has replacements for Designer and with Publisher coming out soon, should be a viable alternative to other Adobe offerings.
I was thinking.....why doesn't Adobe offer their CC offerings WITHOUT cloud storage? I mean, not everyone needs cloud storage just to use their tools locally, where most people do their work, right?
Why don't the offer that option and keep the prices low?

Even better, why not just offer the software for FREE? I mean, everyone likes free, right?
Damn that pesky desire for profit...

And for that, I use DPP. Still use LR for JPEGs and I can save the RAW to TIFF I there's something in the Adobe program that I really need to use.

I see that the plan is offered both with 20 GB and with 1 TB cloud storage at B&H. It appears that its just another tier option for those who use cloud storage. I'm using it, because I use Adobe CC on my iPhone. I was trying to figure out the best way to get rid of those photos last night, the number has grown to be too high. I've used my phone as a method to backup images taken while traveling, even if they are jpg, I have a backup. They have long ago been loaded on my servers in raw format at home.

I switched over to Capture One a few months ago and I wish I did it sooner. Can't replace Photoshop with anything just yet. Provided they don't change the price of the full suite that includes Premiere and AE, I'm unaffected. I've got no problem switching to Avid if that happens, and I know a lot of my peers will, too. It's already a questionable call to keep paying for that service.
