Some of our silent members work for Adobe or are professionals who earn some of their income from Adobe. But the real reason I am responding to this thread is to encourage people to pay the rent. Their upgrades have made the programs extremely valuable for editing images or video to you as an imager. The ease of editing an image and the level of control available in mind boggling to me: I struggled to composit images 40 years ago and now you can easily do focus stacking, exposure bracketing, selective focus control, selective contrast control, selective color manipulation over a cup of coffee. The real struggle is to use the tools appropriately and not go off into the weeds. So, renting is not as attractive as owning. Adobe has steadily improved their product and its interface, switching an image between programs is easy, the tools provided are powerful. On the rental plan I would highly suggest exporting your best images as TIFF's so if Adobe ever goes away you have the edited versions available. But, go ahead and rent the program as you will find the tools worth the price.
