Hello, I have acquired a Photography Plan to be able to use Photoshop, since I need to edit my photos.
However I also like to design icons or images so that people can use them in their softwares or blogs (I do not charge for them, but I make
money for advertising.) By this I mean designing something, for example a cartoon cupcake ... with The brush and some gradients and shadows.
I need to know if I'm right or I need to buy another plan, that is, this plan helps me a lot since I can easily edit my photos and I can buy it since
in my country the dollar is very expensive.
If your icons will be saved in PNG, JPG or PSD then Photoshop is the correct application for the job. You don't need to purchase a different CC plan. If and when your projects require vector, you should use Illustrator instead.

You can, but it depends on what the icons are used for.
Nowadays icons are often created and saved as scalable vector graphics (*.svg) for use on web sites and as vector files (for example: *.ai) for print. This is not possible in Photoshop, but in Illustrator.
The photography plan plus 1 single app subscription seems to be a little bit cheaper than the whole package. Or you can try the freeware Inkscape.

Oh, the icons or images (resources, buttons, decorations, wallpapers, backgrounds) will be saved in PNG, JPG or PSD, so there is no problem. I know it's not the best but I do it more for desktop customization, that's why I will not work with vectors. So is not there any problem with this plan creating resources, wallpapers, icons or patterns for me and people? . Thanks for your answer, Fenja.

Thank you! I see you read my question and my first response, well, now I feel calm knowing that there is no problem designing anything as long as they are saved in image format (png, jpg) or psd having the photography plan. The answers are very quick here, good job.

That's crazy. When you save PNG and Jpeg files they will not contain and vector graphics like vectors. But not using vector graphics in your PSD files you save your PNG and Jpeg image file is just making your work harder for you to do. With vector graphics in your PSD you can scale your PSD to any size and resolution you need to save Jpeg and PNG files the scaling will be perfect for the size and resolution.

Yeah, I understand, I know it sounds crazy, well not only do icons ... also wallpapers and some other things for softwares or designs. However what I like most is the customization of android and windows and if I share vectors to customize some of those two mentioned above ... they would not know what to do haha. But I will take everything into account, thank you very much.
