I happily paid Adobe for the rights of using their software for creating. This is absolutely unfair, it goes against ethic and I think we should stand against it.

I am referring to the fact that if you stop paying Adobe you can’t access your work anymore. I recently thought again and more seriously about something apparently trivial that in the past didn’t manage to impress me as deep as necessary. But? There’s a but, and that’s the topic of this post. My reasoning was: these are tools for my business, spending 760 euros every year for something Adobe produces and that makes me earn my living seems fair. I have always been against pirate software. Until now I paid and accepted this situation. A monthly subscription for using an email client or a fancy note taking app. It seems companies expect us to spend hundreds of euros/dollars every month just for using their software. Affinity Designer on Mac.Įven worse, they showed the way to a multitude of other companies, and it’s largely thanks to Adobe if now we have all kind of apps requiring a subscription for working as they are meant to: calendars, note taking, word processors, games, photo editors, email clients, and the list goes on. Being Adobe a huge corporation with a substantial monopoly, they did what all huge corporations with a substantial monopoly do: they didn’t care at all about what users thought, and just forced everyone to conform to their subscription model. But as we all know, most users felt unhappy with the choice, for various and rational reasons. Quite a brilliant move on their side, because their business kept growing. I say “I had to” because Adobe decided to stop selling their software and required users to pay a fee for the right of using it. So I had to switch to Adobe CC subscription. Affinity Photo on Mac.įast forward and I included InDesign, Premiere and lllustrator in my profession. At some point I learned Camera Raw and began developing my photographic workflow. With time I did less and less work as illustrator and more work as photographer, so I got deeper into Photoshop tools. I started using Adobe software - Photoshop Elements, to be precise - around 2005, in combination with Corel Painter, because I loved how Photoshop brush engine dealt with opacity through a single stroke. All following Affinity screenshots in this post (except the cover image with one of my photos) are taken from Affinity website. At the time I was still mostly into 3D gfx and digital painting, doing very few photo post production.

This meant learning Blender, Inkscape, Scribus, Gimp, etc. Science fiction if compared to poor NeoPaint on DOS.Īt some point (around year 2000, even if my first experience with it dated around 1996, with an exotic CD containing Slackware) I started using Linux - without abandoning Windows - and I discovered the world of open source software. At the time this software seemed unbelievably powerful 🙂 This is Affinity Photo running on Mac. This is what I used for my first ever photo retouching.

I learned a lot using it - I learned to appreciate limits and how to overcome them.

In these years I could definitely not afford Apple computers - although dreaming of them - I could barely afford a very slow IBM compatible PC - and I have to say DOS was not terrible, at all. I started creating graphics and editing photos long ago, on DOS operating system - using software like Deluxe Paint II, Neopaint and others - moving then to Windows 3.1 quite soon.
