Why Adobe is not cheap

Mirage

I get that they need to meet their expenses. But the amount of license Adobe sells every year, is a mammoth profit. Can people make enough to justify that cost ?

Adobe as a suite is used by everyone from top end Hollywood studios to your average Joe who’s doing it as a hobby.
There are various plans to suit your requirements, but to answer your question, people absolutely can make enough to justify the cost - particularly when looking at the CC suite, which (IIRC) is around £9/month starting price

Mirage

Yes, if you are a professional, that does sound interesting.

Mirage I used to make enough to cover the £9/month, but I've not done much graphic work in a while now to be honest - something I need to pick back up! 🙂

With people asking for logos at $15, it is really a hard bargain sometimes.

Katos

Mirage it can be!

Certain people use PS and other software illegally. That is a real challenge for people who actually pay for it.

Katos

Mirage Unfortunately, yes. You can get some decent free alternatives though! 🙂

The support for PS is unmatching. Brushes and all those goodies that come with it has competition.

Mirage Indeed, I personally pay for Creative Cloud at a cost of 9.99/month.
