DSD: which program do you use?
I know it's been asked before but...
I'm having trouble installing my old Photoshop on my new laptop and I just can't afford the new membership type... no point in buying a new laptop if I was not going to be able to use my program per usual... I'm kinda mad about that... I hate having to relearn a program and losing all my shadow styles and actions... I want to cry!  So what is everyone using to scrap with??

When my laptop was giving out on me (earlier this year?) my sweet older fellas bought me a new one. My old one was probably over 10 years old. I was using PS5 on it. (I think that's what it was.) I couldn't get it transferred, installed, running on this new laptop. It irritated me so much to do the monthly payment for PS but that's what I wound up doing. I tried a PSE trial first (which I originally learned scrapping on PSE) but decided to go with PS. It's $9.99 a month.

also do you find a big difference between PSE and PS? I have never used PSE but think it would be more affordable to do that if all else fails.But I hate changes! And relearning a program.

I, too, have felt the pain of upgrading my computer and having to go to the monthly subscription. They have a "for photographers" plan that is Photoshop, Lightroom, and the mobile versions for $9.99/mo - https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography.html
Good luck getting back into your scrappy mojo

I see she gave you a link. Scroll to the bottom of that page.
There are some differences to PSE but I believe a number of people use it. I think Amber uses it and "swears" by it. lol I had gotten so used to PS that I didn't want to go back. I did a few layouts with PSE when I was trying out the free trial. Oh... I think Robin uses PSE, too! And Rebecca (MamaBee) and Tammy (CraftyTam) so... they are happy with PSE. They like the photo bin which I'm not used to.

I just looked at the PSE pricing. When I was looking previously, I don't remember them having a 3 year term license. You pay up front and have the license for 3 years, then the Editor is not accessible unless you buy another term.
I like the old days when I would/could buy a CD and install it on my computer. lol And it lasted forever, it seemed. I guess not with newer computers, though. Ugh!

I use PSE (currently running 24)- I've never used PS so I don't think I'm missing what I didn't have. No CMYK coloring, and no journaling on a path IIRC from others.
I typically use an older version until I can't anymore (much like my cars), so I'll get a few years out of a version.

I started out with PSE and used it for several years before switching to PSCC. The photography plan is a great deal IMO, and I use both PSCC and LRCC (actually LR Classic). You can pay more than $10 for a fast food meal these days. If you're not working, you're probably not ordering from fast food joints and asking for $10 seems like a ton when you are really budgeting down to the penny. We've all been there.
There may come a time when I can't afford the Photography Plan, and I'll make a decision then. I'm not borrowing trouble! LOL

I use Affinity Photo which opens PSD files which is really great... and it is a lot more affordable too... a once off buy price.

I also use the $9.99 photoshop/lightroom package. I was thinking of switching to PSE and giving up lightroom but when I found out PSE is turning into a subscription now I won't be doing that. Like Cheryl says if the cost becomes an issue I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

so did the photography package just go up? Because you all talk about $9.99 a month for that package, but I see Lightroom only for $9.99 and PS + LR for $19.99
edit: nevermind I found the cheaper package with less storage for $9.99/month

I also use the 9.99 plan. I've used it for years & wouldn't go back. I'd give something else up to keep it!
 I also love that I can have lightroom desktop sync my photos from my lightroom mobile app on my phone directly to my external hard drive- such a time saver for my workflow.

I'm also a Photoshop CC user. Personally, I'm a fan of the software subscription model. I love getting the latest features continually throughout the year rather than having to wait for a big release that's $700 and I have to save up for it. Instead, I just budget the monthly cost as part of my discretionary spending and I get the latest and greatest tools as they're released.
