I got a notice that Adobe is going to raise its CC subscription price but I can't figure out which of their pricing plans applies to the LR Classic/PS CC 2018 bundle. Does anyone know?

It does not apply to the PS CC/LR combination.

That's Adobe. It is a one way product. Do it their way!

And that is another widely misleading answer.

Everything that has transpired has done so according to Adobe's design ...

Adobe spent the money to write the software. It's their baby. If you want to use it you do it on their terms. Adobe is not alone here. Every software manufacturer puts some sort of limitation on their product. How many of you read the EULA when you install a new program?

Personally I don't find Adobe's limitations onerous. The software is useful to me and does not break the bank. It costs me less than the impulse purchases I indulge in. And I get a lot more value than most of those impulse purchases give me.

The Photographers' package is not going up in price although other portions of the CC suite will.

I started a topic the day they raised the prices for "professionals": http://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-518846-1.html

In short,

The $10/month Photoshop/Lightroom Classic/Lightroom CC plan is not changing.

Single App plans will increase to $20.99 per month from $19.99 per month or $1 per month
All Apps plans will increase to $52.99 per month from $49.99 per month or $3 per month
Creative Cloud for Teams will increase to $79.99 per month from $69.99 per month or $10 per month

The increase is for subscribers to the entire Creative Bundle of all the Adobe apps.

And that is another very uninformative answer. If you think it is wrong, tell him WHY it is wrong. That is what separates trolling from discussing.

So instead of trying to look smart... The answer was already given.

But just for you, the obtuse one... The answer was and still is:
The raise does not apply to the PS CC/LR combination.

Capiche?

I hope Bob Yankle, the OP, knows by now that his bill is not going up!

FWIW, Adobe continues to grow and they are passing 12 million subscribers. More are on board sooner than expected.

Does it need to be said? The only way any company does that is by keeping most of their customers happy by offering products they like and that work.

The email I received from Adobe did not mention the photography bundle at all, so I am now happily informed that I need not worry about it - at least not YET! Does anyone know if Bridge is considered part of the photography package?

You get Bridge. In fact, I think Bridge is something you can get and use for free without any subscription. I'll check if you want.

I checked! Bridge is part of the CC plan, but Bridge is also free for non-subscribers. You have to get an Adobe ID and get it from the "Creative Cloud", but still free.

If they did raise the price, or one got mad at Adobe for some other reason, the installed copy of Lightroom will continue to run. What stops is the Develop and Map modules. You can continue to manage their image files and even Export them as needed.

No. The choice is always yours.
