From having randomly wondered what would happen if I tried to cancel my Adobe subscription with no real intention on carrying it through, a few minutes of clicking and chatting had saved myself just under $40.ĭelighted, I mentioned my discount to a colleague. I can add those to your account and you wouldn’t have to pay for the next three months. “Before you make a decision,” wrote Harish, “I see that there are three free months on your subscription that haven’t been applied yet. I explained to Harish that I was thinking of moving from Lightroom to Capture One because it seemed more powerful, has better control over colors, and that I could buy Affinity Photo outright in order to replace my occasional use of Photoshop (check out this article if you're interested in giving Capture One a whirl).

I clicked on “Start chat” and chatted to Harish, one of Adobe’s agents. Intrigued, I wondered what would happen if spoke to one of their operators and opted to discover what the “custom deal” might be. Because the prospect of a fee that was the equivalent of more than four months’ of Lightroom and Photoshop wasn’t enough to put me off canceling, I was presented with a bribe: stick with Adobe and get two months for free. Logging into my account on the Adobe website and finding the right page, I was first warned that I would face a £45 ($58) fee for canceling my annual contract early, but I chose to continue.

While exploring out a couple of different packages for my photo editing, I wondered what would happen if I were to try and cancel my subscription to Adobe.
