I have to admit, while I would never give Adobe my money, it is
frustrating using Paint, Paint 3D and GIMP, they just don't make it
easy to do things that ought to be very straightforward. I can't and
won't support Photoshop, but it might make my life easier.
Note you can also get an older version of Photoshop for free,
which we've
discussed umpteen times over the years, but if you need it, I'll point you
to the serials which are published and NOT REFUTED by Adobe (for years!).
(caveats apply - but let's not go there until/unless you want it)
The difference between the iKooks and me is I know what I'm talking about.
the serial numbers are only for *existing* *customers* who need to
reinstall it, since the activation servers have been taken offline and
their actual serial numbers will no longer work.
not that it matters since it's nearly 20 years old and won't run on
anything made in at least the last decade. those who are still using it
are using *very* outdated hardware (i.e., slow).
The difference between the iKooks and me is I know what I'm talking about.
you have that backwards.
But there _is_ a better app (for ease of use & for functionality) than
those apps, at least on Windows there is... with a caveat (net.framework).
While I don't like installing net framework any more than anyone else, if
you want a free Windows Photoshop replacement app that it both _easy_ and >quite functional (in terms of what you do most), you can't beat this app.

Hi Joel,Here, for example, is what I was talking about, with the caveats:

Intriguing, in the abstract, but I'm running the current build of
Win11, so even if it were legit for me to use that old version for
free, which I kind of doubt, it probably wouldn't work.
Also, evenI've been on to Adobe ever since I promoted the PDF format at my company decades ago, where, interestingly, the IT personnel qt the time told me
for free, I don't think I could bring myself to use Adobe's shit.
I do have Acrobat Reader on my phone, but nothing by them on my desktop.If that reader keeps updating, you may wish to try this registry hack:

Many thanks, I didn't know about this app, I have installed it, and
will give it a try next time I need an image editor.

Oooops. I just noticed, my mistake, that you mentioned it was on the phone. >On the phone I don't do PDFs, so let me see what I have on the phone...
Oh, OK. I see "Adobe Acrobat" in my files folder, where it's grayed out, >which simply means I haven't used it since I received my new free Galaxy.
To better explain that, as you can imagine I highly organize my phone
(which is impossible to do on iOS so obviously my daily drive is Android).
Yeah, as far as the Android app for merely viewing a bus schedule or whatever, I can handle using something from Adobe. But for Windows,
Sumatra PDF is far preferable.

on mac/ios, pdf is a native format. no additional apps required.
third party apps can add pdf support with couple of lines of code.

Good point. And if I'm not mistaken, has been for a really long time.

Indeed, score one for Apple.
torrenting is very possible on ios, however, there's no demand for it.

If we assume you are telling us the truth, for once, nospam.... then...
Please...
*Point all of us, nospam, to that bittorrent app on the iOS App Store*.
