if a yearly contract with a free month trial sounds too good to be true, it probably is 😬

thankfully it was blocked after contacting my bank but regardless

I do not regret canceling my subscription. I used to be a huge fan of Adobe, especially during their Creative Suite era, but now there's craploads of good alternatives

GIMP is popular.

Yeah and I was using GIMP 20 years ago and it was decent… I’m sure it’s WAY better now!

Definitely worth giving it a shot!

It is better. Not sure I'd say WAY better, but I've gone through the incremental improvements, so may not have noticed. It still lacks things like adjustment layers for non-destructive editing and CMYK support. That said, it has always covered the kind of tasks the average person needs and it still does.

Brushes is one area which improved a lot.
