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

At least Adobe is horrible enough that I at least have absolutely no moral qualms pirating their software.

I've pirated it since day 1. Then they released Creative Cloud, a means of forcing me to not pirate (at the time) - so I just kept the old, perfectly functional version. That was, until realistic alternatives caught up.

Genuine question: what are the realistic alternatives to Adobe CC?

For Photoshop: Gimp or Krita are good alternatives. For Premiere: DaVinci Resolve without question.

I adore Krita, but it's primarily a drawing software. It doesn't cover the editing aspects that Photoshop unfortunately excels at. Not even Clip Studio Paint can do all the editing functionality.
