Those that subscribe to or are considering subscribing to Adobe Lightroom/Photoshop may wish to consider taking up the current offer that can be found on Amazon. They are offering an Adobe Creative Cloud Photography 12 Monhs Plan with 20GB cloud storage, Photoshop + Lightroom for both PC/Mac Download – currently just £73.71 for 12 Months. Buying these discounted packages, which appear from time to time, are a great way to keep your subscription cost down. Admittedly, however, it is still more expensive than the competing 'pay once' products!
If you are looking at alternatives to Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, you might also be interested in the current offer from Serif for Affinity Photo which see's this Photoshop competitor now priced at just £23.99 for a perpetual license. Yes, you read that right!! As with Adobe Photoshop there is a steep learning curve but for those with Photoshop experience, that reduces significantly as the workflows, keyboard short-cuts etc are very similar if not identical. There are also lots of online tutorials on Youtube as well as at Serif itself. Well worth looking at perhaps if you don't like Adobe's subscription model. For more information, visit Serif.
