Update: Adobe has extended this deal through December 31.
Today December 31 is the last day of Adobe’s Black Friday / Cyber Monday Deal for people who don’t yet own at least Photoshop CS3+ on the Creative Cloud Photoshop Photography Program, which includes:
- Photoshop CC
- Lightroom 5 (and updates)
- 20GB of online storage
- Behance ProSite
- Access to training resources on Creative Cloud Learn
- Ongoing updates and upgrades
The deal is for US $9.99/month with a 12-month commitment. For those who don’t mind going with Adobe’s subscription model, this is indeed a great deal! If you miss this Black Friday / Cyber Monday $9.99 deal, your options are to get Photoshop CC (plus 3-6 above), for $19.99/month, the Complete Cloud, for $49.99/month, or to purchase the old stand-alone version – Photoshop CS6.
If you own Photoshop CS3+, you have through December 31, 2013 to get this $9.99/month price.
Note that while once you subscribe your price guarantee lasts only a year, Adobe has stated that while prices may go up in the future for things like inflation, they do not plan to increase your rate from $9.99 to the regular $19.99 — $9.99 becomes your going rate.

Every other site that has talked about this new deal of getting LR/PS for $10 w/o prior ownership has stated that this price is for the indefinite future and fits in with the deal earlier announced for those with CS3 or above.
I know I have read that on at least 4 other sites, though Kelby Training is the only one I can specifically remember (Scott Kelby talked about it at length in one of his video blog broadcasts a week or so ago).
Do they all have it wrong? That would change the value of this offer quite a bit…
FWIW, I owned PS3, 4, 5, and 6 (and most versions since the original Photoshop), so got the original $10/mo subscription.
Hi Burt,
The price guarantee technically ends at the end of your annual subscription, but Adobe has stated that other than increasing for things like inflation, they don’t plan to raise the rate. (Kelby has said that it is a price for LIFE — Adobe has not gone this far in its statements.)
My comment was in regards to your statement “When it is over, presumably you will only be able to get Photoshop CC (plus 3-6 above), for $19.99/month”
That is not my understanding of this deal. Rather, I _think_ Adobe is offering the same $10/mo to everyone, with the same terms as previously had only been offered to those who owned PS 3 or above.
Thanks for the comment, Burt – I understand now — I meant that once the deal ends, those that haven’t signed up at $9.99 will have the $19.99 price available. I have attempted to clarify the article.
Ah, yes, that is my understanding too. I apparently misread what you initially wrote.
Hi Laura, just thought I’d note that it seems Adobe, as per their website, has extended the program offer thru 9pm PST December 8th. Cheers, Dave
