I didn’t find it on the wiki or anyone discussion about it
im skeptical with the amount of people on the original forum and github saying the cracker had bundled malware with it at some point
i used to run an older version of cc (i think it was cc2018 where u just had to swap a dll to make it think u had an infinite trial) and then recently i’ve switched to gimp and inkscape and haven’t looked back.
i’d honestly recommend foss alternatives for anyone who does gfx and photo stuff as a hobby over the adobe cc just for how much quicker and relatively stable they are
I really would love to recommend GIMP over PS, but it just sucks to use sadly.
for me the biggest hurdle was getting used to the ui, adobe is definitely the best with ease of use and layout, but so far ive found the feature set to be solid for photo editing and quick gfx work, i definitely miss camera raw and some of the non destructive editing features but gimp has gotten a lot better over the last couple years, especially on the current beta as theyre getting close to the 3.0 launch. definitely not the best choice for everyone but i think it has its niche
This community always made me laugh. When GenP 3 was out (and I am talking about more official sources), Mods refused that it is real for weeks(!). They do not recommend the still superior way to install Adobe with CCMaker. No Creative Cloud, Offline installation, no Anti piracy tools, no account needed. However, they still recommend the Creative Cloud to install programs and users run into Pop-up and trial nags, lol. So, GenP is good, but this Reddit community is no loss at all.
felt like banging my head against a brick wall explaining to that sub multiple times a week that you have to create firewall rules and hosts file entries to stop those popups.
Yeah, but it even not necessary if you don’t install the junk and don’t Login into a profile.
