No offense but with the number of random processes running on any given machine, I am in no way gonna trust a mission critical app to work right from a pirate site and not load something extra like a keylogger. Hell it barely works right in a fully legal install…

Also, I used to strongly advocate switching off Creative Cloud to Affinity to own the software but I have this horrible feeling that they may be going either subscription or AI slop or both on the 30th and you can no longer buy version 2.

(And I say that as a long-time Adobe stockholder from back before they went pure evil with Creative Cloud.)

I used a pirated version of PS too - many years ago. I worked with multimedia, so there was a reason. Most regular people don't even know how to use PS... They are better of with just a simple tool to do what they need, like cropping adjusting size, levels, colors and and the most basic things.
