I don't have an answer to your question, but I would recommend a FOSS alternative to adobe products across the board.

Not sure what kind of features they are looking for, but GIMP has been able to do everything I've ever needed
Yes, it's actually called GIMP. It's not a kink thing... Yet 😏
For the Christians there was a build called Glimpse.
This. I high recommend that software so you don't fall for the AI trap Adobe had set up.
Did you check photogimp? It's gimp with Photoshop like user interface

I'm aware that I'm not directly answering your question here, but I actually no longer consider Photoshop worth pirating.
It takes about three or four hours of study to become proficient in all of the core functionality of GIMP, which for me added up to less time than I spent messing around with photoshop cracks over the years.
I use both GIMP and photoshop professionally (PS CC on an employer's hardware) and I think learning GIMP is a much better than investment of your time. I particularly recommend following a video course online from the beginning. There are both free and paid ones. Feel free to DM me if you have any questions.
i want to try graphic design for a shirt what software you recommend?
I think people who want to go deep with vector graphics usually use Inkscape but I would do it in GIMP because its vector functionality is adequate, I do a lot of raster work (photography) and I'm already proficient in it.
Inkscape if it's vector art. Gimp if it's bitmap.
If you actually need Photoshop's features and can't use gimp or krita, then genp is the way to go. If you just search genp you'll find the dbzer0 wiki page which has all the information. I used it to get substance painter because I needed to open files made by other people.
is genP safe? i found on some reddit that say it have spyware or something
Lots of pirated programs will get reuploaded to other places with viruses added, which is why programs and games can be one of the more risky things to pirate. That said, if you use the links in the download directory section of the db0 wiki genp guide (the one labeled latest updated version), then you should be safe. That wiki is run by the same person who runs the instance you signed up on as well as this community.
Of course, if you don't absolutely need Photoshop then it's infinitely less risky and less complicated to just use gimp or krita.
what is db0 wiki?
It's the wiki hosted under the same domain that you signed up for on lemmy: https://wiki.dbzer0.com/
It's linked to in the sidebar for this community since it has lots of resources for piracy. The sidebar of this community also has a link to the genp community.
it's open source, so it's safer than any random torrent .exe
https://www.gimp.org/ is the official website
Read through this https://wiki.dbzer0.com/piracy/megathread/
Once you find a torrent, it will almost certainly include installation instructions, make sure you follow them.
As another option, this is a good free alternative you could try:
https://www.affinity.studio/download
I bought it (before it became free) and once I got used to it found it really good.
Photopea
I still have the original install files for Adobe Master Collection CS6 (as in, downloaded from Adobe directly before the older versions all got nuked) saved on my Google Drive for like a decade now, along with tons of USB drives and even on my phone as yet another backup.
also the crack and instructions
