    I wonder how many people are paying the full CC sub just for Photoshop and sometimes a few minutes in Illustrator or InDesign 4-5 times per year.

    Beign able to build our own ''package'' of programs would be a good thing. They're just offering the 'Photography Pack' or the 'Full On Sub' ... and the piece by piece software make no sense... WHo wants Illustrator only for 21$USA /month ?

    • I doubt people sign up for full subs if they aren't even using the software. Your description is of a non professional. Better off using free built-in apps.monospaced
    • No mono. Not all designers work with 5 Adobe program opened all day long making 145,000$ a year. Only you and your friends ;-)Bennn
    • The moment you need more than two of their programs, you soon need more. Like PS + ID, likely you need Illy and Acrobat Pro as well. etc etc. This is why.mekk
    • I am one of those people - I use Illy all the time, then PS about 3-4 times I week. I now have the full suite for £1 more than both those programs indepedently.Nairn
    • Nice to be described as a 'non professional' because of this by monospaced though. A new realisation for me. Keen insight!Nairn
    • @ Bennn, I NEVER said my friends make $145,000 a year. That was your assumption.monospaced
    • I only said that if you charge a decent rate (such as $50-$100 an hour), you can pay for a month's subscription in less than a day, as a professional.monospaced
    • If someone doesn't need to use it for regular work, chances are they aren't professional. You all take things way too fucking literally (autistic much?)monospaced
    • Thank goodness Adobe has plans for these scenarios, which aren't contracted for years.monospaced
    • For me the value in CC, and what keeps me locked in, is that the individual apps are cross-compatible. If I were just needing a pixel editor aka PS, I'd use onezarkonite
    • of the alternatives by a competitor. I ditched Sketch for XD even though it's inferior because it plays so well with the rest of CC and I know Adobe is going tozarkonite
    • be around in 10 years... I'm not so sure any of the startups will and I've got a business to run and re-training costs $$.zarkonite
    • I pay the full for mostly PS, AI, Acrobat Pro, Bridge and sometimes In. Then sometimes I use AE, Pr and Audition.oey
