I know GIMP and I’m using it for a long time it is good software but most Youtube tutorials use Photoshop I meant by small user communities is that GIMP is not popular enough among professional artists and other artists like Pixar, DreamWorks, Disney…..etc
Photoshop was released in 1990 and GIMP was released in 1995.
It is so crazy, Photoshop subscription is not enough to access all things like Pantone, you have to pay to use its colors, maybe soon you have to pay to visit the website of Photoshop /s
Adobe just increased the monthly cost of both Photoshop and Lightroom for 2025. How long will most Photoshop subscribers stay silent about this greedy CEO who is never satisfied with the money they make? maybe with this greedy CEO, Photoshop’s monthly subscription in 2028 might hit $120 per month or maybe $700 per month in 2029 /s .
Adobe made Photoshop subscription-based in 2013 then Adobe later added hidden hefty termination fees that made the USA government sue them and now Adobe increased the monthly cost of Photoshop.
So poor aspiring artists can’t have dreams after 2013 I know you are going to say poor aspiring artists can use other art softwares, but other art softwares have very small communities and very few tutorial videos on Youtube and they are not as advanced or familiar as Photoshop.
So creating high quality art by the most popular software is now reserved for so rich people.
There are 3D modeling softwares with non commercial version like Houdini, Zbrush, Unreal Engine, however Adobe don’t have any non commercial version not even their 1990 version is available for non commercial use.
RIP Photoshop (1990–2013) and thanks to the people who were responsible for hiring this CEO who made Adobe the most greedy company on earth.
