<\/figure><\/div>\n\nFor my work, I chose the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription version with a photography plan that includes three applications:<\/p>\n\n
- Photoshop CC<\/li>
- Lightroom CC<\/li>
- Lightroom Classic<\/li><\/ul>\n\n
For this we get 20GB of cloud space and applications for the phone like Lightroom Mobile (unlocking all functions) Photoshop Express and Photoshop Camera.<\/p>\n\n

<\/figure>\n\nOn my computer, I only install Photoshop CC and Lightroom Classic. The CC version of Lightroom does not yet have the same functionality as Classic. Lightroom CC resembles Lightroom Mobile, which I use on my phone and tablet, to process photos from my phone, and sometimes select photos, thanks to the synchronization of photo collections in the cloud.<\/p>\n\n
What am I using Adobe for?<\/h3>\n\n
In Lightroom Classic, I start working by adding photos to the catalog, converting them to DNG format, I make selections, process, export and move them between disks. Lightroom Classic is my starting point all the time. When he needs to do more advanced retouching or processing. I’m moving from LR to Photoshop, but the photos go back to the Lightroom Classic library, where they’re imported.<\/p>\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\nCatalog photos<\/h4>\n\n
Lightroom gives me an insight into all the sessions, where I can tag photos and catalogs at every stage of my work. I divide the photos according to whether it is a backstage, a photo for a client, or my selection for a portfolio. I mark the folders with colors for those for processing, in progress, finished and sent to the client, and at the end I make a selection of the best photos for myself and I consider such a project closed. I only delete rejects, and all other photos in the catalog I transfer to the NAS server, where I can reach for RAW if necessary.<\/p>\n\n

<\/figure>\n\nWhy a subscription?<\/h3>\n\n
For professional work I choose proven and reliable tools. The CC version gives me access to the latest updates, optimizations, new features, or compatibility with new cameras and lenses. I’ve met a lot of people who think it’s pointless and they’re probably right. If someone works one session per week, per month, or less often and does not do it professionally, then a boxed version may be enough for him, for which you can buy licenses for less than PLN 500. However, the problem arises when someone buys a new camera, for 4-8 thousand. and can not process photos from it, because it is not supported by the old version of the program. There are ways to deal with it and I even wrote about it in one of the blog posts, but is it worth it?<\/p>\n\n
<\/span>![\"Zrzut](\"https:\/\/urbanflavour.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/adobe-dng-converter-1.jpg\" "\\"Urbanflavour.pl\\"")
\nThere is a way to open RAW files from a new body, in the old Lightroom. You can read about it here<\/a>, or use RAWSIE<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
How much does it cost?<\/h3>\n\n
Adobe Lightroom Classic, this is my main photo editing program that I use the most and the cost of about 9.99 euros \/ month (if not, then there are often promotions, or you can negotiate a similar rate through support) is not so big and quickly pays off. There are also some ways that allow you to get this package cheaper, or extend it by a month or several for free. Maybe I’ll develop it one day, but I’m afraid that onions will start abusing it.<\/p>\n\n
![\"Adobe](\"https:\/\/urbanflavour.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/warianty-planow-creative-cloud-dla-fotografa-1024x445.jpg\" "\\"Urbanflavour.pl\\"")
I always choose the first “Photo Editing” package because Lightroom (1TB) is just the CC version with a 1TB cloud, and the Photography Plan (1TB) is the equivalent of “Photo Editing” with a larger cloud, but it costs over 2x more. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n Subscription to the photo plan comes out to me about 550 z\u0142 gross \/ year, which is as much as the boxed license for Lightroom. And here we also get the latest Photoshop, which is no longer available in box versions, and from what he remembered it was a cost of even several thousand zlotys, so the purchase paid off in years, and eventually ended up that we had an outdated program after that time, without the support of RAW files from new cameras and functions. So about 50 z\u0142 \/ month for a ps + LR package and 20GB of cloud is not so terrible.<\/p>\n\n
How to buy Adobe Creative Cloud for Photographers cheaply?<\/h3>\n\n
One of the ways is simple and reliable (so far), but it concerns people who care about the color scheme during their sessions, or want to profile their cameras or monitors and do not have a stencil or calibrator.<\/p>\n\n
The thing is that every year, there will be a promotion for the purchase of X-Rite products (now under the Calibrate brand) to which there is a -50% discount on Adobe packages. We can buy a stencil, a gray card, a calibrator, etc. color management products and get a sizable discount on the annual Adobe Creative Cloud suite for photographers. And in the case of buying a calibrator, even a year of photo package for free!<\/p>\n\n
![\"In](\"https:\/\/urbanflavour.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/X-Rite-i1Display-Pro-fotograficzny-plan-adobe-za-darmo-1024x1024.jpg\" "\\"Urbanflavour.pl\\"")
View on Ceneo<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n It is convenient because we make a one-time payment with a discount of -50% for the whole year. If someone deducts the purchase of software in the company, it will also save time by posting only the stencil and the annual package. Instead of posting your Adobe subscription every month, you can only do so once a year. If you already have, for example, an old stencil, you have a chance to replace it in this way practically without costs, because what you lose on reselling a used one, you will save on the Adobe package.<\/p>\n\n

See prices for Color Checker Passport 2<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n Of course, I do not want to convince anyone to switch to a subscription, but sooner or later there comes a moment, because there are no more “lifetime” versions in the new edition. New hardware and software become less compatible with age and it’s hard to work all your life on Windows XP with Lightroom 6.0, especially when the entire budget is spent on a new body, from which it is impossible to process photos on a boxed version.<\/p>\n\n
I will not dwell on lifelong alternatives, because I have been working on Adobe for years and we got to know each other well. In addition, applications such as Capture One, despite the fact that they are “lifetime”, just like any software, in order to develop, it needs funds. And at the moment of introducing new functions or camera compatibility, again we have to buy often not a cheap upgrade. It was similar with the box versions of Photoshop.<\/p>\n\n
![\"Capture](\"https:\/\/urbanflavour.pl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/ceny-CaptureOne-1024x758.jpg\" "\\"Urbanflavour.pl\\"")
Upgrading to the new version of Capture One Pro is as much as $ 199. See the current price list.<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n About pirated versions, cracks, or dubious licenses from Allegro, etc. sources it is a pity to speak. Sometimes it is money thrown down the drain (no license transfer), violation of license rights, lack of corrections, or the risk of catching some malware, etc. Adventures.<\/p>\n\n
