Rather than owning copies of the software, you’re merely renting access from Adobe and its licenses are fairly strict. Unless you have access to educational discounts, you may be far better off by paying a one-time fee for an alternative or going with a free option.

Should you need more than two apps, the all-inclusive Creative Cloud subscription becomes most cost effective and that plan runs $55 per month or $600 per year. You’ll pay $250 per year for just Photoshop, and if you need any other Adobe apps, the costs rise quickly. Those who need Photoshop just for photography should consider the Photography plan, rather than just Photoshop-using Lightroom and Photoshop in combination is much more powerful.
