![]() ![]() ![]() Photoshop and Adobe's other software can be dauntingly complex - hard for professionals to handle at times, much less kids just getting started. Training is indeed an issue even with relatively affordable software. "Barriers including limited budgets, lack of access to technology, cost and time needed to train and learn to use new tools," Adobe said. There, the Creative Cloud suite still costs $420 per year per student or $300 per device.Īdobe changed its pricing for younger students in part because of a study that showed educators wanted more creative problem-solving in schools, but classrooms aren't able to address the challenge. In the UK the price is £4.20 per month and in Europe €4.20.Ĭolleges, though, will have to make do without a new price cut. The education pricing deal will arrive for schools in the US, Europe, Japan, New Zealand and India, but Adobe will spread it to other countries, the company said. Offering good education pricing students is a common practice among technology companies eager to turn today's students into tomorrow's long-term customers. It also could help train a new generation of kids on Adobe tools that aren't as dominant in the smartphone era as they were a decade ago. "This makes it accessible to everyone," said Scott Belsky, Adobe's chief product officer and leader of the Creative Cloud products. Kids can use on home computers when they sign in, Adobe said. It requires schools to purchase at least 500 licenses or school districts to purchase at least or 2,500 licenses, said Sharif Karmally, senior marketing manager for Adobe's Creative Cloud for Education program, in a blog post.Ĭreative Cloud titles also include Lightroom for photography, Illustrator for vector graphics, Audition for audio editing, Dreamweaver and Muse for website creation, XD for design, and more than a dozen other programs. The new pricing isn't available for individual students. That's a radical discount compared with the regular $600 annual price for the software, or the individual student pricing of $240 per year - a cost that jumps to $360 after the first year. You may think of Photoshop, Premiere Pro and After Effects as expensive professional tools for photographers and video editors, but Adobe Systems wants them to be what your kid sees when flipping open the laptop lid at school.Īdobe will offer K-12 schools its full suite of Creative Cloud software for $5 per student per year, starting May 15, it said Thursday.
