Sorted.
You should see a "Manage your plan" button. On that page, there is a "Cancel Plan" option.
Paul, are you ending your Adobe subscription due to the price increase?
Adobe is down 33 percent because everyone is bailing on them. Overpriced and underperforming. There are much better cheaper options now. Adobe did this to themselves. Greed has consequences.
The analysts' reports/opinions I've read basically express concern with Adobe's ability to compete with fast-growing and somewhat more dynamic generative AI companies.
Unless it's an established movie or television studio trying to save money by faking actors and sets, I don't believe generative AI video can be easily monetized. Still images even less so. The AI features Adobe recently added, especially background fill, are useful sales leverage.
The subscription model is good for corporations, because it spreads out payments and simplifies bookkeeping. Most businesses (80%) fail within ten years, so "perpetual" licensing is pointless. Whereas! For consumers, the subscription model is acceptable for entertainment or telecommunications, but when it involves a lifetime of precious family photos, it seems inadvisable to rent software that stops working when payment ceases. (Lightroom folders remain accessible but not writable.)
Thanks. Interesting that she mentions Affinity Suite. I hadn't heard of Canva.
Insiders always sell stock because they own so much of it, but did you notice insider buying in the last quarter? Most analysts say ADBE is a buy.
Agreed, somewhat limited in producing large revenues, with limited growth, and new competitors.
Corporations have been using subscriptions for a long time - ERP, CRM, technical databases & tools, etc. - work well for them, especially when there are few alternatives.
They sell because they need some money for whatever purposes, and/or they usually don't see a short-term increase in share value. There hasn't been much buying by insiders, mostly exercising options - probably driven by expiration - and some selling. Based on the number of shares outstanding, the selling doesn't look like panic or a stampede.
Yes thanks, I found that about 5 minutes after my first post, all sorted now.
Nah, I was happy and I was not bothered by the price increases.
Clueless when it comes to stocks
You're facing real challenges that put the complaints of the rest of us into perspective. I'm still mostly healthy, but at the age where the ultimate destination is looming larger and larger. I hope you're able to undertake your journey with grace and dignity. Best of luck.
Wow, take care my friend. No words! Peace and positive vibes.Nah, I was happy and I was not bothered by the price increases.
The last few weeks have been difficult, started chemo 3 weeks ago, Ended up being rushed into A&E (the ER Room) 3 times last week, on the third visit it was found to be chemo related Colitis amongst several other things, I`ve just been so unwell.
I`m not sure how long I have left but want to finish off two of my projects (one a little controversial) if possible, the chemo put me in bed for two weeks, I`m now considering ending all the treatment and feeling a lot better for it(hopefully) until I'm ready to shuffle off this mortal coil.

Very sorry to hear such sad news.
I hate to say it, but that might be a wise decision. My father decided on surgery for his advanced lung cancer, but in retrospect that took so much out of him that his last days were more difficult than they might have been if he'd gone directly to palliative care.
I was missing Lr so much and find I cant do without it.
Thank you.
I really would like to hear how frequent professional are using the latest and newest Adobe adjustments. I wonder if there is a need, or the time to learn to use those rather that the same old Photoshop feature that had been available for 10 years or more.
Photoshop CS3 can now be purchased for peanuts now. I even have an installation disk with a serial number, but I prefer to use CS6 since I also own a copy of that.
You and me both. I have erased a lot of subscription services from my families life. For the value you get from most, it's not worth it. I pay only for M365 now because it provides a great value for us as a family, apple's one service, as It gives my son his apple arcade, apple music and apple tv and we pay for River tv as our network provider. That's it. If I can't pay once cry once, or free, I am not using it.
