Adobe shoots self in foot!

by

Adobe gives another reason to leave.

Well not quite but it really made my decision to exit their ecosystem final. In the last round of auto-updates I got a nice message that many adobe products I had are no longer compatible with my equipment. To keep using their products I needed to upgrade(buy) all new computes. Big Nope, not doing it because they want to add even more AI features to their products.

Here is the nice screen I got when the Adobe Creative Cloud update process started.

ON1 keeps on rolling.

My current pick (even their newest 2025preview) seems to work just fine.
