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.

• Adobe Creative Cloud - Adobe is offering two months access for free. Just login to your account and go to "cancel your subscription" and you'll get access to the offer, apparently.
• Canon Connected - This free content hub provides you with a series of fun and educational videos that will keep you inspired.
• Lynda.com / LinkedIn Learning - Some public libraries offer free online courses from Lynda.com for local cardholders.
• MattK Webinars - Matt Kloskowski is doing free online live sessions (which are also made available as recordings) just about every day for those staying at home; topics vary from day to day.
• Photocritic Photo School - Photocritic offers a complete one-year photography course entirely for free; excellent for beginners.
• Skillshare - During the COVID-19 crisis, they’re offering 2-month access to all courses for teachers and students, and some courses are open to everyone.
