Adobe Cuts Perpetual License for Elements from Lifetime down to just three years (petapixel.com)

Among the most significant changes with this year’s Elements releases has little to do with new features but instead concerns the ways users purchase and own the software. While prior versions of Photoshop and Premiere Elements have been lifetime licenses — the user buys the software and then owns it indefinitely — this year’s release has moved to a three-year license term.

I recently moved to Affinity Photo, so far so good.

I use Krita for photo editing, it's open source and it's free!

One of the best KDE apps.

In case you didn't know, many other KDE apps are available for Windows and MacOS too. KDE Connect, Kate, kdenlive, Neochat, MarkNote, and a bunch of others.

Affinity got bought up by Canva. It’s only a matter of time that it will get enshittified. They are already giving non-profit and education subscribers free access to Affinity. Bet they will phase out perpetual licensing in the future.

Next time just pirate it. The Affinity people already got their fat cheque.

Nah, I'm happy to pay to own software I use but I refuse to rent it like Abobe wants.
