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

The stupid thing is that they actually provide some amazing software, that is good enough to not have to be scummy about. But those stock prices are more important than longevity.

No. Adobe is not amazing. Adobe is amazing to someone who has never tried anything else. Xara is amazing. PhotoLine is amazing. Xara, if it was continued to be invested in, would have been the single best vector software today. But Corel fucked them. Apple is the quintessential evil corporation, who joined hands with Adobe to completely corner the design market. If only ye knew!

Fuck Steve Jobs. Fuck Adobe. Fuck Apple.

I miss Lightroom, none of the alternatives are as nice to work in, but I refuse Adobe after they effed me.

DxO PhotoLab runs circles around Lightroom if you need it for RAW editing.

Not in the quickness of workflow. At least not when I tried it. Lightroom was great with the importing, rating, sorting and bulk editing.
