    Honestly Adobe photography plan (Photoshop + Lightroom Classic) is a pretty good deal.

    Before, you had to shell out like $300 for Lightroom alone. Almost $1000 for Photoshop.

    If you’re a professional, you could justify it. If you’re a hobbyist, that’s as much money as a nice lens.

    But it’s not the end of the story here either, since you didn’t get free major version updates. If you suddenly decided to splurge on the latest and greatest camera, you needed to buy a new version of Lightroom so it could actually support it. If you got a new lens and Lightroom didn’t have a built in correction profile in your version, you also had to splurge.

    This is like $1300 every 3-4 years, or you have to sail the high seas (Yarr me hearties).

    Now, it’s $120/year. It’s a much more palatable amount of money to pay for someone who’s not a dentist.
