Adobe is increasing it’s plan prices, starting June 17, 2025

On June 17th, 2025, Adobe will be increasing their pricing across the board, for their Creative Cloud subscription plans. Their new plan will be called Creative Cloud Pro, and will include full access to the AI features that have been introduced to all of the Adobe apps, and 4,000 credits/mo for Premium generative features in Firefly, Premiere Pro and more. This new “Pro” plan will increase all subscriptions by $10/month, making the Individual plans cost $69.99/mo, and their Student and Teacher plan cost $39.99/mo (with a 1 year introductory price of $29.99/mo). This will also offer premium versions of Adobe’s Mobile and web-based apps.
(Note: changes apply to only customers in North America, at this point)

For those who are not interested in their AI features, there is also a new plan called Creative Cloud Standard, which will cost $54.99/mo, with no Student and Teacher pricing. This is a far more limited plan, offering full access to all the apps, but only basic features available in some of the Mobile and Web apps. There is a very limited access (25 credits/mo) to the “Generative Fill” features in some of the apps, and no access to any other AI features.

None of these price changes affect the Single app or Photography plans. It also does not affect existing subscribers of Photoshop Mobile, Adobe Express Premium, Adobe Stock, Substance Collection, Acrobat Standard, or Acrobat Pro.

This change will take place automatically for existing subscribers, leaving exactly 15 days from now, to either alter your budget, change your subscription, or leave Adobe completely.

Personally, I find it infuriating, that they are providing such short notice (note: this post is a bit late, and the changes were announced on May 30th – but still, that would have been 18 days!!! Businesses and Professionals can definitely support the idea of an additional $120/year, but individuals and hobbyists are again, left out in the cold, by Adobe. I realize professionals are their “bread and butter”, but this kind of short notice will really put some people in a bind.

Some popular alternatives to Adobe Software:

  • Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer, Affinity Publisher (Photo, Vector Illustration, and Page Layout)
  • DaVinci Resolve (Video Editing)
  • Skylum Luminar Neo (Photo Editing) – use discount code SGANS_DISC for 10% off
  • On1 Photo Raw (Photo Editing) – use discount code AYM4TRAINING20 for 20% off a regular purchase (NOTE: if you go this route, wait until tomorrow, for their 20th Anniversary sale with HUGE discounts!)
  • Audacity – FREE audio editing software
  • Inkscape – Free Vector Graphics Software

There are quite a few more. If you have particular questions, or want other alternatives, please comment below.

How to retain old versions of Adobe CC Software when upgrading to CC2018

By | | , , , , , , , , ,
Leave a comment

I just got back from the AMAZING Adobe MAX conference in Las Vegas, NV. Perhaps you caught some of my social posts on the events!

This MAX introduced a bunch of new device apps and updates, as well as desktop apps. BUT, it’s very important for some people to retain their older versions, when upgrading their apps. The default behavior is to overwrite previous version with the new version – for instance, if you install the new Photoshop CC, you’ll be overwriting Photoshop CC2017 with Photoshop CC2018!

If that’s okay with you, great! But, if you’re like me, and prefer to wait until bug fixes are in, but still want to see (and get used to) some  of the amazing new features in the new version.

Here, I’m going to add a set of images to ensure you see WHERE to adjust your choices so you can ensure to keep your OLD version while also installing the new version. Don’t forget to comment, if you have any questions! Or, ask on our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/aym4training

Or, on our Twitter feed at @aym4training

  1. When you open the Creative Cloud app, either from your Menu Bar on a Mac, or your Task Bar on a Windows machine, you’ll see a list of applications that’re installed on your computer, and the option to update those that have new versions available. Note: in previous versions of the Creative Cloud apps, my “previous versions” were listed as a separate section of the updaters, but now, they’re all listed by app)
  2. In this case, I’ll be updating my Adobe Illustrator application. When you click the Update  button, you’ll get a window that looks like this – at Which Point, you’ll want to EXPAND THE ADVANCED OPTIONS SECTION! NOTE: If you want to retain your older version DO NOT select the Update button yet!
  3. In the Advanced section, be sure to UNCHECK the “Remove old versions” button (on by default)!
  4. At this point, you can select the Update button. Your NEW version of the software will be installed, and it will leave your older version installed as well. Personally, I like to import my previous settings and preferences from previous versions, and tweak them in the individual apps to accommodate any changes, but that’s a matter of personal preference.

Hopefully, this will save some of you the pain of encountering some of the inevitable bugs associated with upgrading, or will allow you to work in your older versions of the applications you use, so you may collaboratively share files with others who may not have updated yet.

Please remember to comment here, or on my Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/aym4training/ or my Twitter feed @aym4training if you need assistance, or clarification.

This week, Adobe is having it’s Adobe MAX conference in Las Vegas, NV. I’ll be working as a Teaching Assistant for several classes, and according to the conference schedule, anticipate being kept VERY busy for the week! I’m looking forward to it, very much – and anticipate I’ll be “paying” for the worthwhile time with some exhaustion for the entire following week!

For those of you trying to reach me this week, either via the blog, our Facebook page ((2) AYM 4 Training – Home), our Twitter Account (AYM 4 Training (@aym4training) | Twitter)

I do hope that some or many of my students and colleagues will be attending this event, and if so, please seek me out – I’d love to see you! I’ve been assigned to TA the classes named
B342 – Photoshop Magic: Making Brushes to Speed Up Your Workflow, and B341 – Photoshop+After Effects = Awesomeness (multiple bookings of each in my schedule). I’ll also be attending other classes with some of my favorite speakers/writers and Adobe Evangelists.

I hope to see you at the conference, if you can make it, and I’ll do my best to respond to questions and such, as time allows. Have a great week!

 

Adobe is SERIOUSLY limiting it’s trial software time limits

Leave a comment

For students who plan on attending classes using trial software, this notice is extremely important. Please note that if you intend to do so, you’ll want to hold off on installing the necessary application until just before your class is scheduled to begin. Otherwise, you’ll be required to enter their Subscription Program to continue usage throughout your class time.

On May 9th, Adobe posted:

Update on Creative Cloud Trials

Adobe provides free trial periods for Creative Cloud in order to allow individuals to download, evaluate and try Creative Cloud before deciding to become a Creative Cloud member. In order to ensure that trial lengths align more accurately with how trials are being used, we are making some adjustments to the program.

Beginning May 9th, 2016 the length of the trial period for Creative Cloud will be standardized worldwide to 7 days.

Individuals currently evaluating Creative Cloud via a trial will not be impacted.

You can find more information on Creative Cloud trials, including how to sign up on the Creative Cloud trials page.

I’m not usually one to suggest people learn from others, considering Adobe Training is what I do – but I firmly believe that giving students ideas for supplemental learning can always help them to practice what I teach and help to embed the information they learn in my classes.

So, I thought sharing a deal on a lifetime subscription to TrainSimple’s Adobe Training might be helpful to those who want reference information, and ways to practice what I teach. Take a look at this deal – good ONLY today!

Up until today, I was under NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) to not reveal what’s coming up to MANY of my student’s favorite Adobe Apps – but today, with the announcement at NAB, all may be revealed. In fact, Adobe themselves revealed what’s to come to Adobe Premiere Pro (oh, my goodness, what they’re doing!), After Effects, InDesign, Illustrator, Flash, Muse, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and Audition!

You can check out the upcoming changes to the Video Editing apps here:

I’m sure there’re going to be many more blog posts at Adobe, to tell us the rest…

Download New Adobe CC Trials – Direct Links to installers

By | | , , , , , , , ,
Leave a comment

If you subscribe to Adobe CC (Creative Cloud – henceforward the only way to get the new versions of the Adobe software), you already know that your software must be downloaded via the Adobe Manager/Assistant to install it, and no installers remain on your system. If you need to reinstall, you must download again.

Well, ProDesignTools.com has created a page with direct download links to all the CC Trial versions – which can be used to install/reinstall the software, and activate using your CC account. Great resource!
