Adobe, RapidRAW, and the End of Selling Software as a Product
- bjt12345 2mo ago> they’re worried about AI replacing their tools. I’m worried about AI building their tools. Touché
- fragmede 2mo agoYeah but that's on Adobe. If your business model is shite, extracting revenue from users in unjustifiable ways, a developer is, over a weekend or months, in a fit of spite-driven development, going to take your lunch. Charging a subscription fee for a flashlight app isn't going to work anymore. Good. It shouldn't have in the first place. Adobe couldn't even run Creative Cloud properly, and dropped support for their cloud storage, iirc.
- orionblastar 2mo agoSoftware as a Service is the model Microsoft Office and Adobe products went to with subscriptions. I can use LibreOffice instead of MS Office, but GIMP isn't the same as Photoshop, etc. There needs to be a moonshot project to make GIMP and others as easy to use as Photoshop and have the same features.
- genxy 2mo ago> as easy to use as Photoshop Is that a typo?
