Question

What is the difference between buying photoshop and getting the photography plan?

I saw that the photography plan is cheaper than photoshop itself, why is that? Is it a dumbed down version of Photoshop on the photography plan or no? Also what is Adobe Cloud storage? Can I still save projects on my device. I'm just one guy, so I didn't think I would need a TB. Thanks!

I saw that the photography plan is cheaper than photoshop itself, why is that?

============

@ChickenMan124,

Different payment plans for different types of users. 🙂

 

The Photography Plan is a deeply discounted BUNDLE of software and services aimed at photographers. But it is a 12 month commitment.  If you cancel early, there is a 50% termination fee.

 

The costlier single app plan gives users a month-to-month option that can be cancelled anytime without penalty.  This is good for freelancers who only need Photoshop for a 1-3 month-long project.  Otherwise, the software in both plans is identical.


Subscription & Cancellation Terms:

Please ensure your computer meets or exceeds the minimum system requirements to run Creative Cloud + OS + all other apps you use. Check each one for CPU, GPU, RAM, VRAM and Hard Disk space.

Hope that helps.

Photoshop is the same in both plans. The difference is that, in the Photography (20GB) plan, you'll get both Lightroom and Photoshop + 20GB cloud storage. (There's also a Photography (1TB) plan for $19,99 available). In the Photoshop Single App plan, you'll only get Photoshop + 100GB cloud storage.

 

Both plans, however, come with Adobe Portfolio, Adobe Fonts, and access to the latest features and updates as soon as they’re released.

 

You may get more bang for the buck with the Photography plan - depending on whether you need Lightroom and the cloud storage.

Could you possibly tell me a use someone would have for the cloud storage? I know this might sound dumb I'm trying to make sure I understand what I'm getting into here.

Adobe's cloud storage is a bit like Dropbox or MEGA. It's simply virtual space for all your files, so see it as a bonus thing that you are free to use. If you don't need it, that's fine - you don't have to use it. You can still save, open and use your files locally on your PC drive(s) at any time.

Hi

The Photography Plan has been around since Adobe released the Creative Cloud, the Photoshop version is exactly the same on either plan and you can save your projects wherever you like
