The company is trying to win back trust after last week’s backlash.

Very nice list, thanks for sharing. I hadn’t heard of a lot of these.
Holy shit. Thank you (and the author) so much for avoiding yellow/red/green icons. This is colorblind friendly!!
People realized alternatives exist?
GIMP is the pimp!
What about for PDFs?
GIMP can handle a lot of cases for PDFs. For more complicated cases, I would recommend Scribus.
Libreoffice Draw also works well for PDFs.
Oh wow, never thought to open them in GIMP. I will have to give that a shot.
There’s MuPDF or Okular
I’ve started a list of Adobe alternatives here!
Thanks, I will check them out!
Affinity suite (designer, photo, and publisher) are pro level, pay to own, and much less expensive
Serif/Affinity got bought out by a pump’n’dump subscription company. We’ll see if things hold true moving forward…
Was that the concern, though? I thought the controversy was that they intended to moderate people’s projects. Or did they walk that back too once they renounced the reason for that policy (I.e., training AI)?
That was also a concern, it’s both.
Yeesh, they really dove into that with both feet eh?
That they would/could access my work for any reason whatsoever… that they even have that ability, that’s not just a line in the sand for me, it’s the Grand Canyon. I expect any kind of cloud storage to be private and protected (e.g. encrypted at rest)… no back doors, no exceptions.
This is beyond the pale, and AI was never part of the concern.
For your Photoshop needs.
"We have never trained generative AI on our customer’s content, we have never taken ownership of a customer’s work, and we have never allowed access to customer content beyond what’s legally required,” Wadhwani said to The Verge.
" yet…"
It’s not even completely true. They did train their AI on Adobe Stock, which is royalty free, but is by definition customer content.
