Adobe Photoshop is an industry standard in graphic design, photography and video editing. Although expensive, if you are a student it may be possible to obtain an Adobe discount. This article discusses various options, plans and discounts available specifically to them as students; such as Lightroom student edition and more.
To qualify for an Adobe Photoshop student discount, you must be enrolled at either a public or private primary and secondary school, an accredited college, university, or any other recognized educational institution, including full-time staff and emeritus professors. Adobe will verify your eligibility before providing you with a serial number to unlock it beyond trial period.
Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions now offer discounts of up to 60%, offering tools such as Photoshop and other industry-leading programs such as Illustrator, After Effects and Premier Pro at discounted rates for one year only – after this point you’ll be charged full price unless cancelled before renewal date.
Adobe often runs promotions for its Photoshop products, such as Black Friday and back-to-school sales. As these sales tend to be short-lived, it is essential that you keep an eye out for them. Resellers who provide discounts can often provide more competitive prices than buying directly from Adobe; additionally some retailers such as Best Buy sell computers preinstalled with Adobe Photoshop allowing for even easier shopping experience!
