Dismiss it all you want, it's still going to destroy what is left of the open internet and unsolicited email communication. Those haven't been in the best shape for the last decade anyway. The benefits of easily accessible compres

Although this seems like the right way to go about it, isn't there some kind of limit to how much you _can_ copy AE before it becomes a copyright issue?

You'll be missing context aware fill and healing brush. Those are by far the tools I use most in more modern versions of Photoshop. Other than that not much has changed, for moderate users at least.

It kind of depends on your goal. In most cases, pregenerating your images is a much better option, especially if you want a decent resolution. Why do they have to be dynamic? It would be a cool project, but you'd probably have to whit

You only need an LLM for this if you want the background to be a direct result of the context you put it in. It's possible, but risky, since it's our of your hands what the model will create. The current models do not have a foolp

This is an opinion, not a fact. Many closed-source companies invest heavily in research and development to create innovative solutions, which definitely does drive competition in the market. Differentiation through unique features can enhan

The hobbyist or non-profit CAN use it for free. Until they make a profit, at which point they'll need to pay. Profit usually involves a lot more than a measly €500 (or €762 for gamma) for projects using tools like this. VVVV even offer

Now you can, in Europe. It used to involve registry hacks, which, as others keep pointing out, could break stuff because it's not the way you are supposed to modify your OS.

It's frankly offensive that this utterly pointless "feature" can't just be disabled. Starting Photoshop used to be windowskey, "ph", enter. Now, by default, it will give you an Edge Bing search for "ph&quo

But the model is _really good_ at other subjects, including very complicated ones, like the motorcycle. By "certain training data" I don't mean porn. It's probably for the best that they did, but the aggressive removal o

No need for personal attacks. I am not trying to sell anything and have literally 0 vested interest in VVVV. It's unfair to label it "garbage" though. Your argument that companies are holding their clients "hostage"

The model can effortlessly create a highly realistic and anatomically correct photograph of a koala riding a motorcycle, but begins to produce crazy body horror as soon as a human shape is involved. It's neutered. Artist styles are agg

Have you actually seen VVVV? It's nothing like QT or Unity. It's a visual scripting tool, that does not require any real programming knowledge (although it definitely helps if you have some). One of our animators can't write

Ah, I see, it's a bit more for Gamma. Still, 540 + 222 for a year on an individual license won't scare off clients that go for this type of projects. Are all the cool libraries ported over yet?

With this software you'll typically create one-off installations, no maintenance necessary. I don't expect to get the source code for every tool I use in production.

Like the alternatives, it appears to be limited to adding forced movement (shift each frame by X, Y) and only the most predictable motion, like moving fog, water or sand. These constraints (and most of the morphing) come from these type of

SMS is far less convenient and lacks many important features, like groups, emojis, speed and presentation. Independence from known data harvesters is the only reason I got pretty much all of my contacts to switch.
