Well shit
It was only a matter of time given current trends
u vfill own nothing and be happy.
If you keep using these, then you won’t own anything.
I like owning my shit and want to keep owning my shit
I see GIMP and Krita in my near future
In the upcoming weeks or months (they are late as fuck) GIMP will release its long awaited version 3.0. This has some huge improvements, so a good opportunity to try out if when it comes. If you are coming from Photoshop, know that some of the important features will still be missing in GIMP, such as non destructive editing (it will only have a few features regarding that). Krita is more full featured in regard non destructive editing, but is focused on drawings, still capable of generic image editing.
How’s rawtherapee for photo work and darktable
I never used Rawtherapee, seems to be a good tool too. I used Darktable years ago for couple of years when I was into photography. It’s fantastic and got better since. While the main focus is on raw editing and developing, it is also good enough for other image related editing. Darktable obviously is similar to Lightroom, for some even the better tool; I can’t compare them, never used Lightroom.
It has fantastic masking features for every effect, meaning it would only affect what is not masked. You can draw a mask with mouse, set by complex parameters, and other ways to set this up. This extended feature landed after I stopped using Darktable daily (as I stopped photography). It’s worth wile checking out.
This is why I don’t use Adobe.
I’m so glad I saw the red flags from earlier and decided to stay far away from anything Adobe.
Anyways, this is the new business tactic. Start stealing confidential information by somehow forcing a new ToS change or update.
Imagine you are in an environment using Windows (with Recall enabled and all other spyware and advertisements on OS level), use Photoshop enabling Adobe to spy on you and play Valorant with an Anticheat system that runs all the time at highest Kernel level access to everything on your system, and use Chrome spying on you too.
I almost vomit…
Bro, wtf 😂
Wouldn’t it be nice to set 'em all up to want something (perhaps the glowing suitcase (soul?) from Pulp Fiction) and watch the greedy bastards fight, fight, fight…?

What you mean by Maybe?
You are right, its most likely to train the AI. Sorry, I deleted my dumb comment before I saw your reply, in which case I would not have deleted it.
Like… do they just not want money from the main group of digital artists who generate money? It’s literally a meme that the best way to make money as an artist is furry porn
they probably dont care, they make more money selling or lending the users data.
Wait, is this just projects stored in your online Adobe cloud account, or are they even stealing your content if you’re just using their desktop software? Because one of these is way, way worse than the other, even if neither is exactly good…
The new AI features require internet, and they are running on their servers, so it should affect those as well. They have a
“generative fill”“neural filters” which adds features to your image, so they definitely needs your full image to generate something.In cracked photoshop these tools are not working, obviously. So i guess if you use these cloud tools than you send your images directly to adobe hq.
I have a cracked PS install, and the generative fill works just fine for me, and its got all inbound/outbound connections blocked on my firewall.
Yeah I don’t use PS just help others install it, neural filters is the new one
The generative fill has been around for way longer than the AI craze.
Are you thinking of “content-aware fill”? Generative fill is, as far as I’m aware, much, much newer and uses newer generative AI. Content-aware fill is basically clever automatic clone stamping.
Oh yeah you’re right!
Why does adobe have to remind us that they suck constantly?
Will this apply to CS6 users as well?
Why would Adobe do literally anything about CS6 in the year 2024 when they discontinued in 2013?
Ok
Can you encrypt before uploading to adobe cloud?
No, but you can disable Adobe Acrobat Document Cloud services.
Nope
I can’t bring myself to feel sorry for Adobe users, which unfortunately include my wife. Same goes for any of the other shit services out there. It takes determination and self-control to move away from all that crap, but as a person that sees himself with less self-determination than most, I was able to pull it off, so those that don’t can enjoy their hostage position.
This is a silly take. Who would sacrifice half -or more- their work efficiency to make a point?
I would, and do. I have had to sacrifice some convenience to stand my ground and my values, but that’s up to each individual how far they are willing to go.
I moved away from Windows as much as I can and now I maintain a dualboot just for Photoshop and Lightroom. I think compared to average people I’m doing quite well conviction wise.
I also use Gimp as much as I can. Unfortunately for processing hundreds of photos Rawrherapee + Gimp is not a viable option for me. There are problems both with quality and speed. (Gimp is the problem for speed and RT or DT for the lack of quality due to weak highlight reconstruction)
I understand. I consider myself blessed that anything I need is actually much more performant and easier to use the foss optiins than any of their proprietary counterparts, but I’m also aware that is not the case for some people.
I hope those irreplaceable pieces of software you need at least start getting ported over to be supported on Linux.
I mean I disagree about not sympathizing with folks somewhat trapped in a hostile software ecosystem, but surely “stand by your beliefs” is not unheard of.
I feel the same way with Adobe and Apple.
Its ok Adobe, you can admit you want to look at peoples furry porn, we won’t judge you here!
Hell, you can just ask half of lemmy for some, I’m sure they’d be happy to share.
If you’re hosting projects in Adobe’s cloud than they can and should do that.
Yeah, otherwise those “projects” can and will include child porn.
So what, “intellectual property for the megacorps, not for the end users”? Tfu. I spit on that opinion. If you’re gonna slob robber baron low quarters, at least wipe the polish off your lips before you come talk to us
Ahahahahahahahahahaha damn I’m so happy I retreated back to GIMP and Paint.NET.
