Thanks ahead of time for your insight!
My wife is a teacher.
She wants to use Photoshop and illustrator to make high quality handouts for her students.
Photoshop only seems to have a reoccurring pricing model which is a horrible pain.
1) can you buy a version of Photoshop/illustrator outright?
1a) it looks like monthly payments only now. Can you pay for one month and be done with it? Or is it an annual amount over monthly installments?
2) is there an alternative that I should consider since she's not a graphic designer and would be learning from scratch?
2a) how much is this alternative or is it free?
I was considering getting her some software for Christmas or even just suggesting a free alternative or something.
I am not in the know on graphic design though.
Your insight will help students learn in a more effective way! Thanks!
