They are constantly updating their software and listening to their users. When Affinity came out a few years ago, they actually had a few ex-Adobe employees working with them. Sure! I have been using Adobe products for almost 20+ years and in my current position, I was tasked with finding an alternative ( due to the inability to 'purchase' separate Adobe programs instead of subscribing) and this software came up. I think it is time for Adobe to make major adjustments. Is there anyone at Adobe who actually cares anything about the customers? Doubtful as they are making it more and more expensive and giving no alternatives to using their software without a subscription. As with most large businesses Adobe seems to be all about making more and more money. It is hard to contact anyone except outsourced call centers who could care less what we really think. But, $600 a year is too much!!!Īdobe has gotten too big. I don't need all the updates- keeping the current versions and no longer getting updates would be fine.

I would like to have access to my files in my remaining years and would occasionally like to do something new.

I don't use any of the online services or fonts. I only use Photoshop, inDesign, Acrobat, and Illustrator. Occasionally I do a job for friends or work for clubs I am a member of. And, when you cannot pay any longer you will lose your work. Now however I am recommending to all designers that they find other software to use or they will be tied in to an unreasonable expense forever. Over the years I have been a major major proponent of all things Adobe. I would like to know if younger designers are using Adobe products or finding more affordable alternatives.Īs a graphic designer I have been using Adobe products since the introduction of Photoshop.
