I understand Adobe offers $9.99 monthly subscription for PS and LR until tomorrow December 2.

I wonder it is a good deal for non-professional photographers like me. Currently I use mostly LR, and occasionally PS.

Have you subscribed to this plan?

No. Never will.

If you MUST have the latest versions, maybe but if you run software for more than a few years, maybe not. The 20gb cloud storage is probably a lure but when you drop out, all the CC perks evaporate.

I need a new PS/CS (CS2 won't run on Lion etc) but not feeling the CC option. If Gimp's gui was more like CS, I'd try that.

I'm sure it depends on your situation. I found this deal to he a good opportunity to "go legit" so to speak. I rely on both of these apps heavily. Do I need any of the post LR4/CS3 features for my photography? Definitely not, but purchasing a permanent license for both of these apps would probably equal 3 or so years of this CC bundle, so why not try it for a year and re-asses later on?

If you have already paid adobe for a slightly older version of these apps, then I agree, probably not worth it, unless there is some magical new feature that you cant live without. If you are a legitimate user/customer, and you even plan on updating once every 5 years, it may be worth it. LR update prices are around $60-80, PS update prices are around $250-$350. Thats $300-400 every 5 years. Cheaper than CC sure, but paying an extra $200 or so over the course of 5 years might be tempting to always have the latest updates wouldn't it? Either way, i dont think we have any choice in the matter going forward anyways.

Same situation as me. I was about to pull the trigger on Lightroom 5 ($150) and then this deal came up. Seems like a no-brainer for now, but we'll see how much Adobe raises the price in a year.

its really hard for me to hack the Lightroom for my mac... so yes I subscribed this plan for sure.

Agreed - although LR for Mobile is very limited. Oddly enough the editing is more capable than the features I would have though were lighter weight such as keywording and star rating - both of which are notably absent from the launch version of LR Mobile.
