Adobe has added a new pricing tier to the Creative Cloud product, possibly in response to the negative response from the photography community when it announced that all Creative Suite products would require a monthly subscription. The Photoshop Photography Program gives users Photoshop CC, Lightroom 5, Bridge CC, Behance, and 20GB of storage for $ 9.99 per month. That’s not a promotional price, either, as long as you sign up by the end of this year. You must already own Photoshop CS3 or newer to be eligible for this offer.
