It is the start of a new year and a great time to think about where you want to take your photography in 2023. For me, the subscription pencils out and I’m getting value for my yearly outlay to Adobe. I took a look at the features Adobe has delivered since November 2019 and asked a simple question about each feature - would I pay to upgrade for that feature? Listen to the episode for my thoughts and my more complete analysis is below. I got curious if the Adobe subscription has been worth the money for me and my photography.
I have been a subscriber to Adobe’s Photography Plan for several years now.
Other vendors have waded into the subscription waters, and I think it’s a matter of time before perpetual licenses become the exception and not the rule. Adobe was the first to make the pivot to the subscription model, leaving perpetual licenses in the rear view mirror. Like it or not - subscriptions are here to stay. These days, subscriptions are common place. My core processing tools are Lightroom and ON1 Effects. I don’t use every tool every day, some are more specialized or niche than others.
Photoshop on its own cannot open RAW files (instead, you need other file types like JPEG or PNG), but it does feature the Adobe Camera Raw plugin, which doubles as the photo editing software for RAW images.I use a lot of photo software for my photography - Lightroom, Photoshop, ON1 Effects, ON1 Resize, Topaz Sharpen AI, Luminar Neo, Radiant Photo… I admit it, I like software tools. Photoshop’s capabilities are too extensive to list, but it enables users to create more detailed, in-depth edits than Lightroom. While Lightroom is designed for photographers specifically, Photoshop is made to accommodate not only photographers but also graphic designers, architects, illustrators, 3D artists, and more. The Adobe Creative Cloud version of Lightroom is a cloud-based, cross-platform version meant for beginners, and you can use it across desktops, web, mobile, and tablets like iPads.Īdobe Photoshop is a specialized image editing program that goes far beyond the editing tools available in Lightroom. Lightroom Classic has additional functions but is only available on desktop PC (and is the most-used version). Lightroom has two versions: Lightroom Classic and Lightroom (formerly Lightroom CC).
