AFTER 25 LOYAL YEARS, ADOBE'S PRICE HIKE HAS FORCED ME TO SAY GOODBYE

A 25-year Adobe user announces their departure from the software giant after the company eliminated the affordable Photography Plan, forcing a price jump from £82 to £249 for the same Photoshop and Lightroom access. They are transitioning to alternatives, including the Affinity creative suite and ON1 Photo Raw for photo organization and processing, although the switch will be challenging after decades of muscle memory with Adobe shortcuts.
