Want to Use Adobe Photoshop - Just for a month?

Adobe are finally giving in to subscription-based services. For as little as $29 a month, you can subscribe to Adobe and use the various software for as long (or as little) as you like! The catch is, however, that your rental payments don't pay off the purchase of the software.

If you are a webdesigner, or graphic artist, then this is obviously not for you. However, this a great option for those people who just occasionally need to use it. I know plenty of people in science who buy the software to create a few graphics for a manuscript, and then never use the software again!

A monthly subscription lets you use the most up-to-date software for just a fraction of the price. And given that they have had two new releases in the last couple of years (they are now up to Adobe CS5), this is probably a smart move, rather than having to constantly upgrade to newer software!

Well done Adobe. It's about time your software become more afforable!
