Adob​​e Price Increase for Lightroom & Photoshop

Ever since Adobe came out with the subscription model for their products there’s been concern about an Adobe price increase some time in the future. And today it seems as those fears may have been well-founded.

The website PetaPixel announced today the Adobe price increase that was announced on the Adobe website. It seems that parts of the US and even the world are seeing different price packages. The folks at PetaPixel are seeing nothing less than $19.99/month for what used to be $9.99/month.

They’ve reported that there are some regions that are still seeing the lower $9.99 price. Here in Montana, I’m getting the new price of $19.99/month. PetaPixel contacted Adobe, and they affirmed the lower price is no longer being offered in many places. They also said that testing new pricing in specific regions around the country and the world is a common procedure they do frequently.

Just one more reason why I’m happy I’ve moved over to what I feel is a superior Digital Asset Management tool, Mylio, and RAW converter DxO PhotoLab. Mylio is also a subscription service but is now less than half the price of Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. My favorite RAW converter, DxO PhotoLab Elite version, is a one-time fee of $199.
