Adobe’s subscription price model for popular software like Photoshop and Lightroom wasn’t well-received by creatives who prefer a more one-and-done cost than a recurring monthly expense. The feedback didn’t change Adobe’s mind – but while you can’t get a lifetime license of Adobe’s creative tools, budding photographers can get Photoshop Elements for three full years for just $60 as part of the Black Friday deals.
Photoshop Elements is the beginner-friendly version of Photoshop. It can’t do quite the same things that Photoshop can, but it’s far easier to learn. A rare Black Friday deal puts a three-year license down to just $60, which comes out to about $1.66 a month, a steep discount from the $10/month cost of the full Photoshop.
