Adobe Photoshop Knows It's A Fake Version

No that is not true. That is my 2 cents. Good firewall solve everything. My $1.

Not really. You need to block all it's processes individually, a generic block for this program usually doesn't work for long. That's been my and many or our member's experience.

And now, with latest versions, you WILL have so many things processed at Adobe's cloud {even simple selectuins}, that a total block in firewall is nonsense...

Mister, YOU were WRONG and I was RIGHT. If you don't have a firewall that will block everything in real time, you're done. That's why the "folk" versions of the program don't work for people. Because without a firewall that blocks the program in real time, All of IT, it breaks into the Internet and stops working, in the long run. That's my $1M.

As I wrote in another thread, minutes ago: if you just block Photoshop in he firewall, you will not have acess to many functions that rely on Adobe cloud servers to run... Those functions are from a simple selection to a complex generative AI.. Then, you are already working in 1998 Photoshop 4 (not CS4, this one came later)...

How about some alternatives free or low costs (comparatively). Adobe has us guys by the ballz, you gals dunno, I don't have female parts. Anyway Adobe gonna git ya, one way or another. Some of these programs can actually import Photoshop format files.

Some apps to try:
---> GIMP The GIMP Free & Open Source Image Editor <---
This program has a bunch of YouTube instructional videos

Affinity
Here's a great YouTube video that describes Affinity in detail
---> Affinity A Great Photoshop Alternative <---
---> Get Affinity <---

Lastly, here's a near PS program, it's interface most closely resembles PS. As a bonus, for those with resource limited system, Photopea runs as SaaS (software as a service), completely on-line. What the heck, no installation, give it a look at least.
---> Photopea. Free ad-supported SaaS <---
---> Learn Photopea in 29 minutes <---


So maybe it's time to stop Adobe Photoshop madness and give another program a try. While they may not have every feature PS may have. Be brave, be unique and don't be a sheep, be better than that.

the only true alternative is Pixelmator Pro, always been a Mac only app.. So good Apple bougth it last year...
The best photo editing software for micro computers was Alias Eclipse, but Autode$k bought Alias, because of Maya, and killed Eclipse... Then maybe Macromedia Xres.. Adobe have fundamental patents, and the PostScript foundation...But, hey, Photoshop, not being the best, became the most popular because its always been the most easily pirated one. Maybe as Adobe sales strategy?
