Free / Discounted Tools For Creatives
Many companies are giving back to the creative community in light of the COVID-19 crisis.
They've recognized that a lot of people are struggling, worried about cash flow, or trying just to survive these next few months.
In response, they're now offering discounts on their photography-related products and services. In some cases, they've extended their free trials, too.
