Walls keep falling down and it enables people to wave bye to woke corporate software.
Adobe totally ripped me off on that one.
I think Creative Cloud is a gateway sort of program for all of the Adobe stuff, isn’t it? I don’t use it so I can’t say for certain that’s just what I think I may have seen..... somewhere.
I bought one of the last CDs Adobe sold. They "upgraded" it on me under the ruse of "security," and then went about demanding their outrageous monthly rental. I tried to reinstall from the CD but the software wouldn't run. I was screwed.
My old versions of my CAD CAM FEA software tried that trick. And at the same time they gave me a GREAT promotion. “Turn in your permanent license and we’ll give you a FREE year of a 5 year subscription for upgrading. WHAT A BARGAIN. The subscription after 5 years was 2 times what I paid for my permanent licenses when that was standard. I do use a customer’s license for the new versions and after 10 years there has not been a single improvement and I can STILL find the same bugs I’ve told them about for near 20 years ago. I’m still stuck with Windows for at least another 10 years until I retire...or die.
I hate this new subscription based life. Everything is subscription. Cars, my shop, software, girlfriends....
May be worth trying some variation of this concept:
(1) On my linux box I would install Windows into a Virtual Machine with the VM’s networking explicitly disabled which turns the environment into a choked sandbox.
(2) Install Adobe Acrobat into the sandboxed VM.
(3) Having no network, it can’t be upgraded out from underneath you. It can’t call home to find out it needs to be upgraded for security reasons.
That would be the theory. May be additional steps inbetween that I’m not thinking of.
Is photoshop that much better than GIMP to worry about it and buying a subscription to Photoshop? Or is this for bootleg versions floating around?
I've used all three. Prefer Photoshop by a bunch, not because I can't do the same things with the other two (eventually), but because of the efficiency of the process.
I used to run CS2 on Win 7 and could do more in less time than is possible now with current software. I have published literally 4,000pp of material on multilayered pdf. The investment is so huge that I'm stuck with Acrobat maintaining what I have, never mind publishing the next book I have in process.
That’s exactly what I have in mind, but I’ll have to reformat everything I have. It’s a matter of getting work currently in process done before making that switchover.
Or use GIMP.
I still run an inspection machine and a CAM / CNC package on my 18 year old Dell running windows 7 and it works just as fast too. No internet and no connectivity to keep it safe. Screen is getting a bit dim but I have two spares in the file cabinet. They should bury me with that computer, it’s made me a lot of money.
I have Photoshop CS5. Will that install in Wine?
Microsoft blew it. They got too damn controlling and greedy.
I hope they go bankrupt.☺
