One of the main Amazon Gold Box deals of the day, good until 3am Eastern on Friday, is the Adobe Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 14 offered for $75 with free shipping in either a PC/Mac Disc by mail, or digital downloads for PC or Mac. Click on the tab options there to switch between them. Limit one of each kind per customer.
The Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan (Photoshop CC and Lightroom) is available for $8 per month if you agree to a 12-month subscription at Amazon. You can cancel within 15 days for a full refund. Cancellation after 15 days has an Early Termination Fee. This is an auto-renewing subscription, so after the 12 months are over, it will renew until you manually cancel it. It does not say what the price will be when it auto-renews after 12 months.

This daily deal expired… It’s a good thing I’m up at 3am ET because one of the Gold Box Deals du Jour is a sale on the Adobe Photoshop Elements 14 software for $50. This is available in either a PC/Mac disc shipped to you, or a digital download for PC or Mac. Offer ends by 3am ET on Tuesday or earlier if sold out.
Good until 3/13/16, B&H Photo automatically includes a 1-Year subscription to Adobe’s Creative Cloud Photography Plan with the purchase of select Canon DSLRs and Lenses. The offer covers items with an MSRP of $1199. Some items however are on Canon-approved Instant Savings, so the price range of this offer is $999 to $12,999. A total of 54 items are participating. You can sort the list of 54 items in various different ways.
No coupon is needed. You receive details on how to redeem your free subscription after you place an eligible order at B&H. Eligible items show this promotion on their individual product page [see screeshot below]:
Bundle up time for the E-mount! Adorama is offering a Sony a6000 bundle with the 16-50 and 55-210 lenses and the Adobe Lightroom 6 software (stand-alone, not cloud), all together for $846 with free shipping.
If you don’t want/need Lightroom 6, for the same price and same two lenses, you can get free accessories in the black kit (extra Sony batter, extra Sony charger, Sony screen protector, 64GB Lexar SDXC) and in the silver kit (same free accessories).
On the other hand, if you are fond of certified refurbished, and don’t need any of the aforementioned bonus items, you can get the Sony a6000 two-lens kit for $680 with free shipping by Secondipity thru Amazon. The page there says this will ship by Ground Transportation, so it will not arrive as fast as Prime items typically arrive.
The Adobe Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 14 bundle is currently on sale for $89 with free shipping, in either a digital download (PC or Mac) or a PC/Mac Disc to be delivered to your address of choice at Amazon by Amazon itself… This offer is good for everyone, not just Prime members (previous offers were Prime-only)…
The same price is also available at the Microsoft Store (with free returns it says on the product but I don’t know if this applies because it is software and software returns are personas non-whateverata these days) and Office Depot and Office Max where according to their weekly ad it is expected to continue at this price until 2/13/16 (especially if you have ODP/OMX Gift Cards or Rewards (the Duracell Black Friday Rewards should be in your account by now))…
This offer is good for Prime members only. You have to add the item to your shopping cart and click “Proceed to Checkout” to see the sale price of $70. For a limited time, you can get the Adobe Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 14 software bundle in either Software Box by Mail or Digital Download (PC or Mac). The price you see on the website range from $90 to $115.
While this promotion is running, and you add to the shopping cart, you will see the price get adjusted at the top right corner of the Amazon Checkout page. Annotated screenshot crop right below of the software box by mail:
The box-by-mail is apparently stackable with the digital download promotion, I added both to the shopping cart, and they both go for $70 each (I did not place the order):
NOTE #1: this offer only works if the items are sold and shipped by Amazon itself, not by third-party sellers.
NOTE #2: this only works for the aforementioned bundle. I tried the Photoshop Elements 14 and it’s not on sale. This had been going for around $40 in a similar add-to-cart promotion during the 2015 holiday shopping season.
The following two Canon SLR lenses also receive a 12-month Creative Cloud Photography Plan subscription with purchase at B&H Photo, along with 4% promotional rewards on the purchase price. The lenses are the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM for $2000 and the 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM for $2200.
The Sony a6000 two-lens kit (16-50, 55-210) was one of the major Black Friday iLC brick and mortar offers at $700. But now there’s more! Not only you get that, but also the Adobe Lightroom 6 software is included at Adorama. To recap, you get the Sony a6000 with 16-50 and 55-210 lenses and the Lightroom 6 software (the Win/Mac DVD, not a digital download).
If you already have LR6 or are not interested in it, the two lens kit is also available for $700 with a differet set of extras instead of LR6: an additional Sony battery, an additional Sony charger, a screen protector, and a 64GB Lexar microSDXC C10 card.
And now a lens + software bundle. For $1800 you can get the Canon 24-70mm f2.8L II USM lens with a 12-month Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan for $1800 with free next day delivery and 4% promotional rewards (~$72) at B&H Photo.
Adobe was rather late to the mobile photography app party, so now they have to be more aggressive to recapture lost ground. Which perhaps explains their latest move, Lightroom is now free for all to use on Google Play. You don’t need an Adobe ID, you don’t need a subscription. Just install it on your device and start using it locally.
I played with it for a few minutes. On an 8-inch Android tablet, the screen feels rather small for the UI, readability is not ideal, and in general it has more of a downsized desktop app feel to it. But it’s free and it works! It will probably feel a lot better on 10+ inch tablets. Perhaps a new excuse for photographers to buy the new Google Pixel C Android 2-in-1 creature? Or that 18-inch Samsung Galaxy Viewstrocity?
If you want to sync with your desktop, then an Adobe ID and subscription is needed. They are not giving everything away 🙂
Mac users who like software purchases in digital download form can get Adobe’s Elements 14 Photoshop and Premiere bundle for $80 at Amazon, while PC users and those who prefer disc-by-mail get it for $80. This offer is open to all, not just Prime members.
PS: the earlier offer Photoshop Elements 14 for $40 for Prime members expired (I just tried it and the price won’t drop after you add it to the shopping cart).
This limited time Cyber Monday promotion expired…
This is an older post…
If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can get the Adobe Photoshop Elements 14 software for $40 in either the PC/Mac disc or the Digital Download. The price you see on the product page varies (it is $60 as of the time of writing). The price drops to $40 when you go deep into the Checkout page, one last step before you place the order. No coupon is needed for this one. There is a hint of this sale on the aforelinked page, the block that says “Prime Members Save More on This Product”.
When you reach the last step before finally placing an order, you should see something like this:
If the price total does not drop to $40, it means the offer ended or there’s something else wrong. Do not place an order if the price is higher (unless you want to buy it for more).
The offer is good for both the disc and the download. Sales tax collection may differ depending on delivery method and state.
The $80 combo daily deal expired, however…
… if you are a Prime member, and you only need Photoshop Elements 14 (without Premiere Elements 14), the $40 promotion after you proceed to checkout is still good! See earlier post for details… This is an on-going offer, an expiration date is not mentioned…
UPDATE (11/1/15): The price of the PC/Mac Disc option has increased to $100, however the Prime-only promotion continues, so when you add it to the shopping cart, as a logged-in Prime member, the discount is -$60, bringing it back down to $40.
The Digital Download options remain at $70 and they also drop to $40 after you add them to the shopping cart as a logged-in Prime member…
Previous updates after the break…
It doesn’t typically take long for the latest Elements software to get into the discounting round. Right now, the Adobe Photoshop Elements & Premiere Elements 14 combination is on sale for $90 at Amazon as either digital download or physical media by mail… On the other hand, if you don’t need Premiere at all, Photoshop Elements 14 on its own goes for $63~ in download or by mail…
UPDATE: it is also offered at this price, in the delivered-by-mail option by Buy.com (Rakuten) on eBay (limit 5).
If you have an iOS 8.1 or later Apple device, and do not have a Creative Cloud subscription or a desktop Lightroom, you too now can use the iOS version of Lightroom for free without the prior restrictions. Adobe finally discovered they can use it as a “gateway software drug” instead of frustrating users and driving them into the arms of many of the thousands of other iOS photography apps 🙂
Lightroom has two versions available, one for the iPhone/iPod and for the iPads. With the new bigger and more powerful iPad Pro, things may get more interesting worfklow-wise.
More via Apple Insider et al.
The Samsung NX30 with the 18-55mm f3.5-5.6 OIS Lens is going for $500 with free shipping at Amazon by Amazon itself and B&H Photo. The camera box includes Adobe’s Lightroom 5 with it.
We have both an announcement and an in-stock alert at the same time. It is Fall, and this means a new version of Adobe’s Elements software. We are now up to version 14. As usual, they start at early adopter prices ($100 in this case), and as time goes by, discounting begins. So this is for the early adopters. They are available in either boxed software by mail or digital downloads (Mac or PC). They are ready to go for $100 each at Amazon (your choice of box or download): Photoshop Elements 14 and Premiere Elements 14.
We start another burst of posts (from here upwards, since they are posted in reverse chronological order). This one is of the YMMV variety, American Express Offers. This can be found when you logon to your AMEX account. Not everyone gets the same offers, so there is a YMMV element to it. Their system probably has some kind of “targeting” algorithm to decide who to offer it to (or may just randomness). Regardless, there’s an Adobe offer, you spend $10 or more at Adobe.com in a single transaction (excludes merchandise, phone orders) and you get a $10 statement credit. Limit one per customer. Expires 10/30/15 if not used.
If you qualify per Adobe’s guidelines for their Student and Teacher editions (remember, what common sense may suggest qualifies may not – make sure you check the prerequisites if you are not familiar with – there is a link in the linked-to page later in this post), you can purchase a one year subscription of their Creative Cloud (Student and Teacher edition) for $190 at B&H Photo. This is the full Creative Cloud, not just the Photography plan. Also required a US billing address at registration. You pay $190 at checkout and a few hours later you receive an email.
This daily deal expired… The bonus deal of the day in the Amazon Gold Box good until 3am ET on Wednesday (or earlier if sold out) is a sale on the Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 software for $45 with free shipping (for the disc option) or free digital download (Mac or PC).
The Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 software is currently on sale for $55 with free shipping/delivery at B&H Photo (disc or download) and Amazon itself (limit 3, PC/Mac disc only).
For a limited time (expiration date not mentioned), with the purchase of select Canon DSLR kits (6D, 5D Mark III, 7D Mark II) through Amazon, you receive a FREE one year subscription to Adobe’s Creative Cloud for Photographers (Lightroom and Photoshop CC editions), and one year subscription to Kelby’s KelbyOne training.
The free subscriptions are redeemed online through the usa.canon.com/PowerToCreate website.
If you are planning to get the Canon 5D Mark III, or 6D Mark I, or 7D Mark II, there is a new (stackable with other offers) promotion at B&H Photo that gets you one year of free Adobe Creative Cloud Photography (Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC, not everything in the Creative Cloud), along with one year access to the Kelby One online training courses for Photoshop CC and Lightroom CC.
