Would Adobe ever consider a plan for Seniors, similar to the Student plan?

I want to keep my subscription, but it is a pretty hefty cost now that I'm giving back as a volunteer and not getting paid for the graphic work I do.

 

Please consider a "Senior" plan.

Design Mobile Bundle:

https://apps.apple.com/lu/app-bundle/adobe-design-mobile-bundle-for-designers-draw-make/id1549982153

 

That's a bundle of applications available for your iPad.

 

The Adobe tools are highly professional. It's normal that the price is at a professional level too. Photoshop Elements is a great alternative to Photoshop, but also the Photography Plan with Lightroom Classic and Photosop is a bargain.

That will not likely happen.

What software do you need and what do you need to do with it?

Illustrator and InDesign for Logo and flyers for our local pickleball club. 

I'm an artist of sorts also and scan / correct in Photoshop. And post to Instagram an occasional video (Premier Pro). 

and my most recent thing is Fresco (rather than Procreate). Thought the interface would be familiar. Not sure if this is a paid program.  

so, I kinda goof around with stuff now that I have time. 🙂

You may want to consider Photoshop Elements and Premiere Elements which are a one time purchase and not by subscription:

I also found something called "Adobe Design Mobile Bundle" but can't find much on the Adobe website about it. I saw something that said if I download (on my iPad) all four digital programs at once, I can save 50%. But can't find the cost. Looks like it's all free, but maybe that's because I'm a Creative Cloud Subscriber. Anyone have a link?

 

You all have been most helpful and it's good to see there are alternatives out there.

Yes - all professional level tools for sure. I've been working with Illustrator from wireframe days, incase anyone else remembers that...

Just I'm kinda a retired professional that still likes to help the pickleball community with a flyer now and again. As a volunteer.

 

Thanks all!

For Illustrator, unfortunately, there is no "elements" version. You will need to take the subscription. If, however, you are a student (!) or a teacher in a qualifying school or university, you can access CC for the teacher/student price.

Hi Sue,

I know this is an old post  but maybe you have an idea for me. All I want is the ability to create and edit PDFs, combine PDFs, rearrange pages, etc.  Any ideas for me?

Hi t_5045,

As I understand, you want to edit PDF's and Adobe Acrobat plan would be the best for you. You may find the details here: https://adobe.ly/3DFfvKa.

 

Hope this helps.

Senior discount !?

Bah!

The typical corporate response is going to be - 'Maybe you should make more money!'

Or - 'How about using a cheaper product (that sucks compared to what you're used to).'

I am reminded of the old adage - "Dance with the one who brung ya."

Give a little back to the ones who got you to where you are today. Please.

 

I am disabled, retired (because I'm disabled) and, of course, I am on a fixed income. I am a Photographer / Artist and all I do these days is make art for myself and my family, friends and neighbors, but I collect not a penny for the cards and prints I produce. PhotoShop keeps me sane, but, in my case, it doesn't pay the bills in my old age.

It's awfully expensive and the cheaper alternatives just won't cut it.

So, how 'bout it Adobe? - A little mercy for the senior citizens (some of whom have been paying you thousands of dollars over the years for your product - from the very beginning of PhotoShop in my case).

I'm not asking for free, just a little "Senior Discount".

 

Be well - Be merciful - Be part of the artist community !

directing your suggestions to adobe (ie, use the cc desktop ideas forrum) would be more effective than discussing with other users here.
