    I cancelled my Adobe CC subscription and got back $55/mo and 55gb of hard drive space

    tbh not having to wait 12 seconds for the Photoshop "Export As" dialog to load anymore has reduced my blood pressure by at least 12db

      JCristina on YT has done a great series called Cutting the Cord ~ replacing all his adobe products with either free or 1 time cost only options

      I realized I was mostly editing photos in Lightroom iOS now, and using Keynote for simple layouts for YT thumbnails, and only used photoshop for really basic things like resizing images. Affinity solves that nicely.

      With you on canceling Creative Cloud! I suspect you didn’t mean it, but blood pressure in decibels… going to steal that for parenting!
