The whole goal is to tie you into their ecosystem and make it harder for you to switch to competitors because your whole workflow is Adobe. Also why it's now a subscription. Lower the initial price and make it back slowly. Same reason why your ISP wants to give you a wireless router for eight bucks a month.

if you disapprove of being manipulated and taken advantage of, you know where to find the GIMP.

Literal pennies, pleb.

>>57424442
Yeah.
I wouldn't mind using their video editing suite but it is at least twice the price of the photography package I already have. It's just not worth it considering I wouldn't use it that often.

Also, I don't know why you think Lightroom is gay, unless you don't worth with photos at all, in which case you may as well just pay the plan because you can always just not install Lightroom.

>not pirating that shit

>>57425197

fucking this. As long as it can be pirated, I will torrent that shit.

If there is no recent cracked version of a program that I want, I will buy it instead.

You're better of with MSPaint than that piece of garbage.

Doesn't Jewdobe only offer subscription models instead of one time payments now now?

lmao

Just pirate CS3,

>>57424442
The rule has been the same for two decades now:
If you need an Adobe product for work, make your company pay for it. If they don't; pirate it.

If you just want to fuck around at home just pirate it as well.

Adobe knows no normal person would pay for a CC subscription so they make it pretty easy to crack it to lure you into their ecosystem.

>>57425642
Yes and no.

By default you can only get the subscription anymore but if you phone them personally, they can still sell you CS6 licenses.

>>57424468

it works, too. I subscribed to all products for mere 45 yurobucks a month. Peanuts for everything I will ever need and more.

Or you can get legit cs2 for free on their website.

>>57425831
how?

>>57424442
Just pirate it

>>57424705
120$ a year is not pennies for some people, astroturd

>>57425945
It's literally 10 bucks a month

>>57425975
who let you out of your containment cage, Schlomo?

The whole problem with Adobe's new licensing system is that the moment you can't pay, you have nothing. At least in the past if you bought Photoshop or Lightroom you could use them for as long as you wanted (or had OS support)

>supporting a subscription model for software

Please go and stay gone

I don't know how cucked I'd have to be to pay Adobe every month for a software that won't run anymore on my system after an update, they change they payment model, I'm no longer paying because of reasons or something happens to their servers.
I don't even want to get dependent on that.

Software companies make it mandatory to pirate their software. Or just to git gud at gimp and some other tools.

>>57425914
Some years ago they screwed up something related to CS2 authentication keys servers/certificates/whatever so the only solution they found (or should I say, were forced to if they didn't want to get sued to oblivion) was to just post a download link + generic key in their homepage.

I thought they patched it up and only gave you access if you had a proof of purchase or something like that. Is it open again like when it happened?

They just stopped supporting it because it was too old.

>tfw the first thing i ever did on every new computer/laptop i ever got was pirate the latest version of photoshop
>tfw pirating photoshop taught me how to pirate just about any program with a product key
The good old days. Its not like i even did anything important with it either. I pretty much used it to photoshop pictures of cars so they were all riced out and stupid looking and swapped them for laughs with a friend who did the same thing.

got it working. the installer doesnt seem to go all the way through for adobe indesign and illustrator because you need to "insert disc" but everything is just downloaded as an exe. but photoshop alone installed on the first exe works fine.

and it seems to be better than gimp or paint.net still even to this day. pretty crazy. i think ill just use cs2 instead of paint.net or gimp now.

>>57426007
what are you talking about? The new licenses are great.

Photoshop was a 1000 dollar piece of software that got obsolete in a year. Now, you can get Photoshop for 10 bucks a month, it would take you more than 8 YEARS to end up paying more and you will always be running the most recent version.

>>57426188
>>57426064
>unironically using gimp

>>57426259
Doesn't matter if it's "obsolete" or not as long as it does what the user needs it to.

>>57424468
Agreed, anyone who can't use GIMP, doesn't try. It's not intuitive sometimes BUT it's free and (probably) doesn't contain the billions of vulnerabilities adobe products contain.
Get cucked photoshop babies.

>>57424442
LR isn't gay but it is useless for non photography use. Been using a legit version of both ever since they introduced this subscription model.

>>57426377
>vulnerability

Does Photoshop even do anything online? If so just block with a firewall.

>>57426321
i dont use gimp, i use paint.net. just mentioning it as an alternative. also forgot to mention krita. they still havent caught up to cs2 after 15 years.

>>57426259
I like the new system, because I ended up upgrading every two versions or so anyway, but I know a bunch of people who stuck with CS3/4/5 until recently or even now. Most of the new features are nice to have but not essential (especially if you don't mainly manipulate photos), so it's not like it's much of a loss if you are on an older version.

>>57426413
Checking licences, updating.

It was $400-$500. Significantly less if you were a student.
>that got obsolete in a year.
It was on an 18 month release cycle. And they only really added significant features every 2-3 releases.

>>57424442
You could just, you know, not use lightroom.

>>57426188
whre can i download cs2?

>>57426666
> Darktable
i heard good things about it but never got around to trying it. i bought lightroom 5 back when it was 100$ on offer and never looked back, the new versions only brought meme features i don't need.

can darktable compare to lightroom nowadays?

>>57426682
the internet. look it up, it's awesome!
