Hello,
I've been using Photoshop along with Lightroom for several years now and use Adobe's subscription service. The benefit of using Adobe's subscription service is that you always have the latest release. Adobe releases major updates to their photo-editing software in October and April, with minor releases that cover any bugs throughout the year. The benefit to that is say if you're using Windows 10/11 and Microsoft releases a patch for those operating systems and it has bugs in it, it could possibly (rare, but it has happened) cause stability issues with Adobe's software. Adobe will often issue patches to fix those stability issues.
However, there is Photoshop Elements, which you have written you are using. Do you find Photoshop Elements limiting in your work-flow?
In regards to the subscription service of Adobe's software, you only pay the subscription fee once a year, you don't make monthly payments to use the software. In my case I use the Photography Plan from Adobe and it gives me several programs, such as: Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom (cloud based), Adobe Lightroom Classic, Premiere Rush (video editing/creation) , Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for Mobile, several other programs along with 20GB of cloud storage.
A couple of other free software program for photediting I'm aware of are GIMP and Raw Therapee (has a steep learning curve).
All the best.
