Question

Just puzzled about the policy of Adobe. I am interested to purchase Adobe Photoshop elements 2021. On the Adobe website, payment mentiones only a monthly subscription. However, in the Apple App Store, there is a fixed amount to pay. What is the difference between the two versions of Adobe Photoshop? Why is Adobe not offering a fixed price on their website, is it just to make more money?

    I just looked https://www.adobe.com/products/elements-family.html

     

    The page says the 2021 version is US $99.99 to buy... nothing at all about a subscription

      first, photoshop is not the same as photoshop elements.  google the differences; here's one result, https://www.capefearnetworks.com/adobe-photoshop-elements-vs-adobe-photoshop-creative-cloud-which-is-right-for-me/

       

      photoshop and most adobe programs are subscription (monthly or yearly) only.  photoshop elements and several others can be purchased for a one-time fee like most non-adobe software.

       

      adobe offers photoshop elements (and all their other programs) on adobe's website.  for the one-time purchase programs including photoshop elements: https://www.adobe.com/products/catalog.html?types=pf_252Fdesktop&promoid=ZFN4FMKB&mv=other&filters=de_252Fpdf&filters=cd_252Fphotography&page=1

        Thanks for the reply. I know that Photoshop is not the same as adobe photoshop elements. When I checked your link, it is now clear to me that one can buy photoshop elements 2020 as one-time purchase, but photoshop elements 2021 is now subscription only.

        I do not see that info in the linked page. Adobe web pages can vary by country, and for me in UK, Elements 2021 has no mention. What do you see?
