Can you get a semi current build of photoshop? Asking for a friend who is struggling with gimp and hasn’t sailed in ages…
There is an "Adobe Master Collection 202X" crack (where X is the current year) that includes all the current Adobe programs and a custom installer made in the style of the old Creative Suite installer. I believe it's by m0nkrus, or at least that's who uploads it to the private tracker I use. They release several new ones throughout the year so you can keep the programs up to date, and obviously the installer lets you choose which of the programs you want to install.
ty! the hunt begins
Gave up on Photoshop and Gimp. Take this, you'll need it:
https://www.photopea.com/
Haven't used anything else in years.
I use Photopea all the time, I love it because the UI is almost an exact copy paste of PS, my only complaint is I wish they had a lifetime license to get rid of that side bar ad, the only options are all subscriptions/monthly. And I know the donate page literally says they don’t do subscriptions, but what else do you call a one time payment for 30 days of ad free?
Ad block works to block the ad, but I haven’t found a way to get that screen space back.
uBlock Origin's element picker is probably what you're looking for. Install the addon, click the uo icon, towards the bottom click the eye dropper icon, select the element on the page you want gone, then click create the button. So long as the underlying name of the element doesn't change, you should be all set!
I'll give it a spin. Ty!
I just have to say that this is now my photoshop replacement without a doubt. Thank you so much for this! Completely changes everything for me 👍 👍
Back in the day there used to be a patch that could block the app from communicating with adobe’s servers to verify the subscription.
That might still exist in some form, but with all of phthoshops new AI features I’d imagine that you’d need constant communication with those servers for the app to actually function.
I’m sorry I didn’t provide any actual help.
That takes me back...I used to work at a computer training company where we would build PC images with the trial versions of everything on them, and every 30 days we'd reimage the machines. The president of the company was shady af. I got out of there just as Adobe was making the transition to subs. I do not miss explaining to the class attendees why everything was watermarked as trail versions.
Acrobat X started failing for me using that crack. Launches and immediately shuts down.
I actually have no idea but it has to be available somewhere
