To my disappointment I was presented with this. When I finally got some time I went through and chose 120 different images or templates that I thought I might be able to use, and then cancelled my account before the next payment occurred. Unfortunately, the quality of the content seemed to not compare to some of the other free options like Unsplash, and all the great images that were on Adobe Stock were now under the premium content which required that you pay additional money on top of your regular subscription. Over time, however, I found that I was using the 10 credits per month less and less until finally I had more than 120 credits to use and nothing to use them on. When Adobe Stock became a thing I was seduced into trying it out, and initially it was great.

Adobe have been incredibly kind to me over the years and I've been lucky to speak at the Adobe Max Conference over four years.For the Custom Pocket Notebook work I use the Affinity range of products.I still use the Creative Cloud through my work who pay for the license.

Just to be totally clear this isn't an article bemoaning Adobe, but a loophole I found which could help folks that feel like they were duped into a situation and they can't really afford to get out of it. I've been a paying creative cloud subscriber since 2013 and have enjoyed the use of the apps when ever I've needed to use them.
