Adobe is easily the biggest name in digital creativity. While it’s best known for its flagship products such as Photoshop, InDesign, and Premier, Adobe has a whole fleet of software for creative professionals and hobbyists in the areas of photography, video and film editing, web development, animation, sound engineering and more. Interested? All of it can be accessed through Adobe’s online portal known as the Creative Cloud, via a yearly subscription payable either monthly or in one lump sum.
Subscribing to the Creative Cloud’s entire collection of apps at $52.99 gives you plenty of tools to fuel your creative drive, and offers the best price-per-program value. But this could be overkill if you’re only looking to use one particular app, or your interest is in a single subject—say, photography.
