Retirement and Adobe.

I have been a member of Adobe creative cloud for many years now, a faithful customer with all apps. I retire this year and will have to give up my Adobe account due to the cost. Now I only do a little photography and digital artwork but will have to find another way of doing the editing. Adobe do not support retired or disabled customers which I am both now, I find this quite dissapointing from a company that is so big and makes so much money from us. My account will stop in October of this year and in the meantime I will search for other options and download all of my content and hope I can still use most of it when I want to. Does anyone else with an Adobe account find adding Adobe to a dwindeling retirement package a strain and, why oh why does a company of such size and stature not help or even be seen helping people in the same position, I know veterans that would love to get into Adobe but just can not stand the cost. Come on Adobe, get seen helping.

I’ve been professionally using Adobe since pretty much the begining - i know all the tools and use creative suite - now it is just for friends and favours as i have finished with professional output. Honestly Adobe should take a look at our payment records and loyalty and give retired professionals loyalty rates when they’ve finsihed. limited to 10 hours a month would be fine

I'm in the same boat, retiring at the end of 2025 but still wanting to edit photos, video and graphics non-professionally. I've subscribed to Adobe products for 20 years and prior to that purchased all the CDs. A pathway for retirees from Adobe would be good customer service and recognise loyalty.

Elements is ok but photoshop it is not. I may have to resort to it, I will see how it goes.
