Today’s Question: I saw on Adobe’s website that they are changing the plans and pricing for the Creative Cloud All Apps subscription, but I don’t see anything about the Photography Plan I’m currently using. Will the changes affect me?
Tim’s Quick Answer: The newly announced changes to plans and pricing for Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions do not affect the Photography Plan at least for now. For the All Apps plan the changes primarily relate to the use of Generative AI features and the pricing, but for now only affects customers in North America.
More Detail: For photographers who are subscribed to the Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan, the recent changes announced by Adobe don’t affect you. You will continue to have the same subscription price and the same number of monthly Generative AI credits. Obviously with the changes to the All Apps plan it would be reasonable to assume there may be additional changes to the Photography Plan, but there have not been any announcements related to that.
For those (including myself) who subscribe to the Creative Cloud All Apps plan, there are some noteworthy changes. First and foremost, if you want to have unlimited Generative AI credits the price will increase by $10 per month, from $59.99 to $69.99. Note that prices may vary by region and are also different for monthly versus annual plans. If you only need minimal access to Generative AI features, the price is actually going down to $54.99 from $59.99.
These plans will also be renamed to “Creative Cloud Pro” with unlimited credits for standard Generative AI features and “Creative Cloud Standard” with only 25 standard Generative AI credits per month. The Pro plan includes 4,000 credits per month for premium Generative AI features such as high-resolution video generation, while the Standard plan does not have access to premium Generative AI features.
There are also limits in terms of which mobile and web-based apps are available to those in the Standard plan, while Pro plan subscribers have access to all such apps.
