I just love this guy when he’s riled up. Makes me feel all warm and cozy 🤣
Just cancelled my Adobe sub. Even if I was comfortable with how they use my data (and I am most assuredly fucking not) I’m also uncomfortable with them helping themselves to the NDA’d projects I do for clients. I trialed Affinity Photo and it meets 98% of my needs and is on sale 50% off right now. Bite my ass, Adobe.
And your clients are ok getting these files? Speaking for the studios I’ve worked out, our clients wouldn’t stick around if we didn’t give them industry standard files (psds, etc.).
What upsets me the most is everyone let me build a monopoly that has been strangleholding the design industry for like 2 decades.
For the kind of work I have been doing I have not needed to hand over any psd files. Photoshop is(was) only a small step in my workflow and the main thing I get hired for is 3D modelling services. Regardless, I still work with NDA’d content and Adobe’s terms are invasive as hell.
Ya no argument there. Adobe is way out of bounds. We have largely moved to Figma but that was like pulling teeth as every was using Ps and Ai when I joined. Ai for wireframes had me tossing at night not gonna lie!
You can export files as PSD and tiff with affinity, so it should work with clients
This guy is a fucking hero for calling out these companies’ bullshit practices like that. I don’t really care if there’s some misstep about the open source thing. The content that I’ve seen from him is still good in my opinion.
Fuck Adobe.
Lemme guess, he doesn’t agree with Adobe like the rest of the internet?
I do love the term “Rufiee E.U.L.A.”
Because honestly that’s mostly what they are.
Started watching him repair boards back in the day, enjoyed him going after companies to start with, and it’s just become exhausting now
I get where you’re coming from, however I reckon he’s doing a huge public service in this regard, imagine someone just happens to click on one of his vids and learns how scummy corpos are. That’s why I believe he should continue with these callouts, but yeah I’d like to see more actual repair stuff in future.
