I’m going to remain optimistic the culling will be improved significantly.

Adobe price changes in January
- Thread starter bakubo
- Start date
There is a price increase, just in the sense that you get a "discount" to original price if you subscribe yearly. Netflix and Disney+ have been playing these "tricks" for years.
I am not anticipating "slow" price increase. I think what Adobe is doing now should have happened earlier in 2024.
True, and it is sad because that 1TB is not exactly beneficial to me.

So they increase the price on the 20GB to make the gap smaller to 1 TB in order to make that appear like the better choice.
That's where they want everyone to be. 1 TB of lovely cloud space. Isn't that great? All your work should be on Adobes servers and network. They need to feed those hungry AI monsters. Firefly has been very inconsistent and weird lately so I guess they need some energy.

Longer than that. "Creative Cloud" was introduced in mid 2013. I've just checked, and I've been paying the UK £ equivalent of the same $9.99 per month price (for the Photography package) since October 2013. Now I've switched to the annual price, which is a reduction.
Doubled for the monthly cost? What’s the price when you pay annually?
For the benefit of others in those regions can you show us proof of that? I wonder why Adobe does not like Sweden. Is that %100 Adobe price increase or part of it is some new tax being added?
This was likely mentioned in this thread. This sounds intriguing. Since Lr now offers both local and cloud storage I may start to venture into some cloud storage options for when I travel. I'm still good for a year at $10 a month as my plan renewed last month.
Lightroom Classic is now included in the Lightroom 1TB Plan (when purchased from Adobe), so if you don’t use Photoshop, you can switch plans to benefit from more cloud space.
I have not sent a file to PS since LrC 11. I only use it to edit screen captures, etc these days. I still own Affinity v1 which I removed of my system but should be able to get it back. I just thought of this while typing. Heck I bet Adobe Photos could do that.
The link posted my bukaboo says Adaptive profile is coming to LrC which I knew it would. It's getting some good feedback. The only reason I opened ACR recently was to try out the new no destructive Denoise AI but the files are huge when sent back to LrC. I'll just stick to LrC for now as it should get that feature as well.

There is zero chance that I could ever trust AI to not cull one of my better images during this culling process. So I will never enable it. That would be just too risky.

AI lands over 100,000 planes in 24 hour period, 365 days a year. :-D I can see why there would be concerns about culling and someones photo livelihood.
I just downloaded Affinity 1 just in case. I only paid $25 for it but never used it. It was supposed to be my PS backup in case I dropped Adobe. It will do what I need if I change my plan to not include PS.
I am confused. (Nothing unusual)
I am on the $9.99 a month Lightroom / Photoshop plan. I watched a Youtube video yesterday saying that this price would be grandfathered only if I switch to paying yearly.
So I sign in to Adobe and can't find anywhere a way to switch to yearly payments.
Next I call up Adobe yesterday. They proceed to tell me that I'm paying $9.99 a month and will continue to pay $9.99 a month with no changes coming. They told me that I can switch to yearly if I wanted, but it would not affect my yearly totals at all and no changes were coming.
And that's why I'm confused.

As you look at options for your “just in case” scenario, if you are on a Mac, I’m told (but have not used) that Pixelmator is a very good PS replacement. I don’t know about pricing. But they probably have a free trial for you to play around with.
The text in the link says the change will become effective at your next renewal.
Changes are coming, but you won't see them until your current 12-month contract expires.

I seen a notice telling me to switch to an annual payment to save 33%. I was pretty sure there were no immediate changes either but I called anyway today. I'm still paying $9.99 each month until Nov 16, 2025. That is because my planned renewed last month. Sure enough $10 was withdrawn from my credit card today.
That is probably why they said you are still going to pay the same amount each month. Go into your account and see when your plan expires. Make a note of it and put it in your calendar. A month before it express verify to see what will happen next. Based on the information at that point you may have to switch to paying for the full year to keep the pricing the same. I figure I'll probably get a notification before Nov 16, 2025 but it does not hurt to be proactive.

Thanks for the information. It's likely one day my Mac OS will not support Affinity 1. For the last 3 years I have installed the new OS on the day of release with no issues. One day older software does go down. Topaz Sharpen AI still works.
I haven't used Adobe Photoshop since CS6. Which I still have on my machine but I use other more modern software without subscription.
So now, if I was ever contemplating Photoshop CC, it would cost me $239.88 USD per year. At the very unfortunate exchange rate at the moment, that is about $392 per year CAD including taxes (15%). Good for all of you that got in at $119 per year USD. But you may be on borrowed time there given Adobe's search for profit.
For professionals that make their living doingphotography art with the use of AI and can address the cost as an expense; it might make sense. To a hobbyist photographer not so much.
For me I can't make almost $400 per year make sense for this software given my needs and budget. That is more than what I paid for CS6. One time.

The reason PS costs so much is you get all these extra fonts, etc. It's geared towards professionals and designing. Do you need that?
Just get the Photo Plan. LrC, Lr, PS, up to 5 personal websites and these plus 17 more apps that I have never even looked at. As I stated LrC has become so advanced I have not sent a a file to PS since LrC 11. It's now LrC 14.
