I could criticize, that the subscription type of approach to monetisation is done in a seductive way, but actually, I always had the feeling of - well it IS worth the money. If you manage this, you have no issues, especially because these things are done along the same lines in every Adobe product. There are serval paradigms you need to understand in the Adobe Way of doing things. This means there is a steep learningcurve and it is not easy. Well Adobe Tools are tools for professionals. If you want to do things professionally use this. You have the specific tools for what you need to do at hand and this is good because Adobe makes great tools which have matured into powerfull instruments. The Products are bundled in the creative Cloud now. Today, in my solopreneur life I still use it and I must say, somehow Adobe managed to get things right. Later I trained other students when working as an Intern at the University, I also worked as aOperator in a Publicity Agency for a while with the Adobe Products. I used Photoshop and Adobe flash back as the Internet still ran on steampipes (so to say) and I was a Student. I have worked with the Adobe Products for 20+ years now. Creative claoud has mature tools for a professional auience and I can simply, only recommend it.

I can also buy stockmedia along the way for an absolutely fair amount of money. I can do professional looking Video and Image Work for a fair fee.
