Thanks for the tip. I almost never change time zone settings. But will try now on my next trip to the East coast.

Just finished lesson 4 in your Luminar Neo 2025 course and watched this video on cropping. Excellent video Darlene, I learned a lot. Thank you.

As always, you gave me a lot to think about. I really liked what you did to my photo of Denali ass well as the other winter images.

Waste of time using them with Neo the just erase them using metadata is a better way but some site remove its

Hi from Paul in Auckland New Zealand.

Darlene, I had to use an Adobe live Chat agent to change my monthly billed plan to annual. Your video was most helpful. Thank you so much for making this!

Perfect time to refresh some skills around winter lighting conditions. Great stuff

Great editing video; sorry I missed it Live!

I have the PS plan with monthly payments. So I tried to change it to an annual payment as you suggest, but that option was NOT AVAILABLE! Is this more of Adobe's conniving behavior?

Happy New Year Darlene and Rob! Thanks for making this informative video, we are warned! Presently I have the yearly with 20GB plan, I believe mine comes due in March, I will be checking ASAP! You certainly offer excellent resources, and are always (available) with-in reason…I get so frustrated by those chat robots….I nearly got sucked into a black hole when trying to install my new “A In-One Epson” printer …you just can’t be too careful! All the best in 2025🎉🎉

Though I am not using Luminar Neo but your tutorial applies just as legit with the Affinity Photo 👍

Thank you Darlene. In todays world of 'let's see what we can get away with".. online... you are a breath of fresh air. Happy new year from a fellow canadian.

I changed from a monthly 20GB plan to an annual subscription, will it still be possible to extend next year at this price?

I cancelled in 2018 because it was becoming expensive - obviously they are haemorrhaging

SD Card -> Cull using Photo Mechanic -> Import culled folder to Neo

it doesn't support Fujifilm RAW format, am I right?

Hi Darlene - Long Time, No Speak !!! Following on from this informative video, are you planning to put together instruction on how to use Excire and Luminar Neo together (as an alternative to subscribing to Lightroom/Photoshop) - or have you already done this ?? If so, could you point me to where I might watch it, please. Many thanks and Best Wishes to you both for the New Year !! Kindest regards Jan

I heard about this price hike and quickly switched to the annual plan. Great information, and thanks for sharing it.

Easy fix.... I cancelled Adobe altogether... It is just greed.

Thanks for the valuable information. It was helpful.

I didn’t have any trouble changing my subscription to annual.

Thanks Darlene. I was wondering about whether to wait to my renewal date and have not been able to get an answer to that either. So I will take your advise and go on and get it over with.

Terrific service you’ve provided here, Darlene. Many thanks.

I can't change my monthly plan to annual, so I guess I will need to speak to someone.

I use ON1 photo raw. It works well. Once in awhile I will use Neo

(Disclaimer: I work on the Lightroom team at Adobe. All opinions are my own.) At 02:18, it sounds like you're implying that you can sign up for a few months, cancel, and sign up again for a few months. That's not correct. The term is an annual commitment... you have the option of paying monthly for 12 months or once up front. Disregard if that's not what you were referring to, though. You also state at 02:51 that "as of January 15, the 20 GB plan will cease to exist for anybody except those who pay for it annually." This is not accurate. While the Creative Cloud Photography 20 GB plan will no longer be available for new customers as of Jan 15th-or for existing customers who cancel that plan after Jan 15th-it will continue for existing subscribers of both the annual pay-up-front option and the monthly option, although the latter will see the price change when their plan renews (after Jan 15th). At 04:48, you mention a question about timetables. Let me try to clarify that: About 30 days prior to your renewal date, you will get an email from Adobe explaining your plan's pricing change and when it'll go into effect based on that renewal date (after Jan 15th). So, let's say your Creative Cloud Photography 20 GB plan is due to renew on May 1st, 2025, you'll get an email from Adobe around April 1st with your updated pricing details. From now until then, you'll continue to pay your current monthly rate of $9.99 USD (or whatever the amount is in your local currency). If you choose to do nothing, your plan will renew on May 1st and your monthly rate will change to $14.99/mo USD. However, if you opt for the annual pay-up-front plan for $119.88/yr USD, that will be the equivalent of the $9.99/mo USD rate that you had been paying, so nothing would change aside from the frequency of payments (one annual payment vs 12 monthly payments).

As a casual photographer I use free software gimp and rawtherapee and pay nothing. We could do with some good tutorials on those though.

Thank you so much for the heads up and great explanation of options about Adobe's plan changes. Done.

Thanks for the update. I was able to change my plan to the yearly plan for $155/cdn. Because I just made a payment, I received a credit for this month's payment.

Sigh. The sensationalism of "50%". It's 5 bucks. smh

Thank you, Darlene. I needed help from an Adobe agent after the Chatbot didn't work, but I managed to lock in to the 20 GB Adobe plan for a year. The annual cost was quoted as $155 Canadian (I'm assuming that doesn't include taxes), so right now I'm waiting to see what appears on my credit card.

I have the original 100GB account at the $9.99 amount that was offered when Adobe first switched to a subscription-based plan. Unfortunately, they don't offer any option to switch to 1 year so I'm not sure if they are phasing us out or grandfathering us in. I guess I better to call in to be sure. Thank you for this clear explanation. I watched Matt Kloskowski try to explain this on an earlier video. He's a great guy, but he managed to get me even more confused by going off on too many side issues. This video was perfect!

Thank you so much Darlene for keeping us up to date!!! I'll have to make a decision and there aren't many to do it in batches.

Thank you Darlene, I have the $9.99 account with 20GB which was just billed to my card a couple of days ago, I changed to yearly, and they gave me a refund for the unused balance. Enjoy a great day.

Thanks for the “warning” as I haven’t been notified about the changes. You explained it very clearly so thank you for your detective work. I have the 9.99 US account with 20GB which was just billed to my credit card a couple of days ago. I’m going to switch to the annual rate and lock in the price for a year. I use the feature of having a couple of portfolio websites for my work, another valuable asset in the plan. Do you know if the Portfolio part is still included in the new plan?

And still no decent import module like ON1 or LR!

Thank you for your guidance! ❤

Thanks

Nice job. Didn't know that you can change the direction. Big game changer. Thanks for this.

Thanks for this tutorial, I have got the hang of it now. Pity batch processing does not include the crop tool, or am I overseeing something?

I'm sure it's user error, but I can't seem to find the link to the stock image to follow along.

How do you scroll when zoomed in? Can't find a short cut for that

Great Demonstration Darlene! Love the directional tip, makes all the difference!
