Adobe temporarily drops Photoshop cost amid controversial price hike, but is it enough? (Plus, a hack to get the old price!)

Photoshop CC sky replacement.

After announcing a pricing change that effectively doubled the price of Photoshop, Adobe is temporarily discounting one of its photography subscriptions. Sales from the software giant tend to be rare, but the discount comes the day the company eliminated its most affordable photography plan.

Effective January 15, Adobe no longer offers a 20GB Photoshop-Lightroom combo to new subscribers. (Current subscribers can, however, keep the plan, though will need to pay annually to avoid a price hike.) While Lightroom can still be had for about $12 / £12 / AU$19 a month, eliminating the 20 GB plan effectively doubles the price of Photoshop, as the only Photography Plan that includes the longstanding photo editor now costs about $20 / £20 / AU$29 a month, twice the cost of the former $10 plan that’s no longer offered. That plan does, however, include 1TB of cloud storage rather than 20GB.
