CC also includes additional services to improve your creative workflows, such as 100 GB of cloud storage, a customizable portfolio website via Adobe Portfolio, and access to Adobe’s extensive font library. The fee varies depending on how many apps you use. Instead of a one-time purchase, you pay a monthly subscription fee. AdobeĬreative Cloud (CC) is Adobe’s way of making a wide array of its programs available as a service. However, Adobe’s individual software licenses used to be prohibitively expensive-especially if you’re a freelancer or independent professional. Apps like Photoshop, Premiere, and Lightroom are the industry standard for creatives. If you work in design, media, marketing, or photography, you’ve likely already used one or more of the programs in the Adobe Creative software suite.
