Adobe is offering two of its Creative Cloud apps, Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5 for $9.99 per month if you sign up for a year, before December 2nd 2013. Normally a single app from the suite would cost $19.99 per month.

This Photoshop photography offer is ideal for people who are mainly interested in manipulating photos. Lightroom alone isn’t such a big deal – it’s a great starting point for polishing photos, but you could use Photoshop without ever needing Lightroom.

Since June this year, new versions of apps from the old Creative Suite are only available as subscriptions through Creative Cloud. This has the advantage of being easier to afford in the short term, as Adobe apps were always famously expensive, but an annual subscription is still a lot for non-professional users.

This hasn’t been an easy few months for Adobe. The move to a subscription model was controversial, as some people complained it means you never truly own Adobe software any more. Then, in October this year Adobe was the victim of a hacking attack that resulted in the loss of 2.9 million users’ data. That included customer names, encrypted credit or debit card numbers, expiration dates, and other information relating to customer orders. The number later increased to an impressive 38 million accounts.
