When the last single-purchase version of Photoshop was released, it cost $699 USD for the standard version, and $999 for the Extended version which included 3D editing support. Some users take issue with the subscription model, but it’s actually a pretty good system for those who want to stay current. It’s also possible to purchase any of the Creative Cloud apps (including Photoshop CC) as a single standalone product for $20.99 per month, but it would make far more sense to choose the photography bundle option for half that price. You can also get access to Photoshop as part of the full Creative Cloud package which includes all of Adobe’s professional applications for $52.99 USD per month. The most affordable is the Photography plan, which bundles Photoshop CC with Lightroom CC for $9.99 USD per month.

Photoshop CC is available in one of three Creative Cloud subscription plans.
