Honestly I recently only used some portable warezed one. CC6 or 2024 or whatever they call their shit now. I lost interest when they switched to that cloud-nonsense. Which is sad because I was there when they introduced Photoshop and i loved it. Newer than 2024 will probably just be worse. I'd bet they put a lot of effort in their DRM which naturally breaks things
I'm using the cracked versions released by m0nkrus, and they have worked reliably over the years.
Predictably Adobe's apps are now full of genAI crap, but sadly(?) they still release useful new features as well, so I keep them up to date.
Oh so I might give it a shot. Would never buy their stuff though. Then again, I should rather use gimp.
