Loss of Adobe Express Premium Features on Photography Plan

I'm writing to express my significant disappointment regarding recent changes to my Photography Plan. I've been a loyal Adobe Photography Plan subscriber since Lightroom 3.

I was very enthusiastic when Spark Post (and its accompanying tools) were introduced.

As a leader of a photography club with 700 members, I actively encouraged its use among our community.

When Spark was replaced by Adobe Express, I understood the transition.

Crucially, up until my most recent Photography Plan renewal, I had access to the premium version of Adobe Express. Now, this access has been cut without any explanation.

What's more, the version I currently have access to doesn't even allow me to save images anymore—only publish them.

This change makes it incredibly difficult to advocate for Adobe Express over alternatives like Canva within my community.

It's frustrating to see constant Adobe advertising across all social media platforms, more than ever before, while core functionality is being removed from loyal customers.

Is it truly Adobe's policy to prevent users from saving their work in Adobe Express under these circumstances? I look forward to your prompt clarification and resolution.

Sincerely,
Armando Bruck - Brazil

I am moving to Canva.  I am so disappointed by the removal of features I've been using for years

Hi @Armando Bruck,

 

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we truly appreciate your long-standing support and advocacy within the photography community.

Currently, the Adobe Photography Plan no longer includes full access to premium Adobe Express features. To regain access to all premium tools and functionalities—including the ability to download projects—you would need to subscribe to an Adobe Express Premium plan separately.

We understand how valuable these features were for your creative work and your community. Your feedback is important, and we’re here to help if you need guidance on the available plans or tools to best support your workflow.

Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions—we’re happy to assist further!
