Re: An Infuriating Goodbye to Photoshop

Just saw this over on Bubbles and had to reply because I so understand how this blogger feels! Gavin writes about his Photoshop frustrations in An Infuriating Goodbye to Photoshop. I had also been using Photoshop for years. I admit that way back around the mid-90s, when it was totally unaffordable for skint bloggers like me, I used a pirated version. I didn’t feel bad about this as I would never have paid for it anyway. Let’s just say that while I don’t pirate software anymore, Adobe is one of those companies that I would feel no remorse for doing so. Anyway, Adobe ultimately released Photoshop Elements, a more affordable version for home/personal users. At this point, having enjoyed using it and appreciating its worth, I bought it. I became a happy, licensed user with my shiny physical CD that meant I owned it. I periodically upgraded to newer versions until along came Creative Cloud. Hmmm… a subscription. However it offered the “full” version of Photoshop at an affordable price…
