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

    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    No its not at all. There have been some really good posts about it here even. Personally, I'm currently using non pirated software professionally that I obtained initially through piracy and achieved mastery of. No way I ever could have afforded it, but now I'm indirectly promoting use through my work and am a customer.

    For better arguments read Breakey or Krukowski.

    If you are new here keep an open mind, there's a lot to learn and some pretty smart cats here to teach (and I'm not claiming to be one of them).
