There is space open in my two Oregon workshops in November of 2023. All of the workshops for 2023 are listed on my workshops page. If you are new to the podcast, you may have missed this episode. This was one of the very first topics I talked about, way back in Episode #3 of the Stop Down Photography Podcast. I wholeheartedly endorse attending a photo workshop - not a photo tour, a photo workshop - to improve your photography and spark your creativity.

It is the start of a new year and a great time to think about where you want to take your photography in 2023.

For me, the subscription pencils out and I’m getting value for my yearly outlay to Adobe. I took a look at the features Adobe has delivered since November 2019 and asked a simple question about each feature - would I pay to upgrade for that feature? Listen to the episode for my thoughts and my more complete analysis is below. I got curious if the Adobe subscription has been worth the money for me and my photography. I have been a subscriber to Adobe’s Photography Plan for several years now. Other vendors have waded into the subscription waters, and I think it’s a matter of time before perpetual licenses become the exception and not the rule. Adobe was the first to make the pivot to the subscription model, leaving perpetual licenses in the rear view mirror.

Like it or not - subscriptions are here to stay. These days, subscriptions are common place. My core processing tools are Lightroom and ON1 Effects. I don’t use every tool every day, some are more specialized or niche than others. I use a lot of photo software for my photography - Lightroom, Photoshop, ON1 Effects, ON1 Resize, Topaz Sharpen AI, Luminar Neo, Radiant Photo… I admit it, I like software tools.
