This is exciting news. Currently, a free online “Photoshop” alternative is https://www.photopea.com/ https://www.photopea.com/

  Photopea is fantastic, fast, looks and works exactly like Photoshop, and maintains some features removed from Photoshop, such as the ability to generate normal maps. Don't buy into Adobe's bullshit.

someone is desperate for training data sets... And would be very foolish to base your future skill training on such obvious entrapment, but we know it will work out very well for them.

  I wonder how many underage noods will live forever on adobe’s servers when this launches. Sounds like a legal nightmare.

The website appears to be https://photoshop.adobe.com https://photoshop.adobe.com. However on Firefox I get "Photoshop on the web is not supported in this browser yet.". I think it is a good idea for them. Get users familiar with your product and hope to get upgrades. There are enough free photo editors available that they are probably cannibalizing a negligible amount of sales from people who will avoid upgrading because this edition is available.

  Often simply switching your useragent is enough to get past walls like that. I've only ever had one site _actually_ not work in FireFox.

I was willing to pay large prices for software that I owned locally and that worked as long as the system it was installed on lived. The absurd prices for subscriptions have finally pushed me to free alternatives for photoshop, premier, and acrobat (found here). Is there a good open source version of indesign? I mean, I have VSCode configured to be a LaTeX editor, but I want a graphical typesetting program. Preferably feature stripped to be more like early pagemaker

  Well, there's Scribus, which may or may not suit your desktop publishing needs: https://www.scribus.net/ https://www.scribus.net/
