Adobe “Essentials” for Long-Time Users
Subject: Proposal for Adobe “Essentials” Versions of Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign
Dear Adobe Team,
I have been an Adobe customer for decades and continue to use Acrobat, Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign almost daily on a part time basis. I’m 73 years old and semi-retired, but I still design logos, ads, brochures, and identities for national and local clients. Adobe remains the clear pathway for producing professional files for print and advertising.
My challenge is that Creative Cloud has become increasingly focused on AI, social media, and features I don’t use. At this stage of my career, I don’t need every update or the full Creative Cloud suite. What I value most is stability, file compatibility, and the essential tools I’ve used for years.
I would like to suggest that Adobe consider releasing “Essentials” versions of Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign:
Core tools only – logo, layout, photo editing, type, and print prep.
No AI, s
