Adobe CC 2019 apps no longer use amtlib.dll, and offline activation disabled

CC 2019 just got released (via Creative Cloud application), and bad news for those who wanted to use the amtlib.dll crack method and have the latest version. Adobe has removed that file and completely disabled offline activation methods.

For those of you that don't know how Adobe Products work. You can basically download the latest version of their software on their website. Then using painter's amtemu you can crack it. You can even download their autoupdater and keep your pirated version up to date. But looks like this method wont work anymore. So if you use pirated versions of adobe products, don't update them until we have a new crack

Recent Photoshop patch notes depress me because they're fixing some of the problems Photoshop has/had for a long time. They're some of the things that FOSS image editors had advantage in, for example by having a color wheel. And that's on top of other neat features/enhancements that make it a better program to use.

Meanwhile Gimp and Krita are busy fixing bugs and focusing on stupid shit like animation features instead of making the image editing part and overall experience of using the program better.

SAD but (semi, it's a mixed bag) true

It's the little things that get you about gimp such as the fact the pencil tool is still can't use brushes with even widths or heights (And yes, you can use the clipboard brush tool for this but it's clearly not designed for this and jitters like it's not had it's ritalin. They really need to sort out placing the cursor centre inbetween pixels for this sort of stuff)

Also the fact that everything EXCEPT THE FUCKING MOVE TOOL will auto create a floating layer for selections meaning countless unneeded toolbar clicks.

Also the color ramps for indexed images are fucked in the head and seem to stray towards magenta or black. Here I am using the nes pallette in pic related to demonstrate what's wrong.

The animation features they mentioned will probably be cool but the last commit to that branch was over a year ago

You rarely need that anyway, so instead of cluttering the ui, you just draw your fucking rectangle manually.

Seriously no one needs a god damn direct draw tool for primitive shapes in a raster graphics editor.

>inb4 theyre not trying to be a ps clone

>the image doesn't care how it was made

Do you not understand why people want nondestructive editing, or are you just being obtuse?

I've only ever used gimp for one-off color corrections and crops, but I've used ps for long term, multi-person projects. In this context, you want to be able to make a change one day, and reverse the change days later, without having to destroy your work in between. History, as far back as it may be kept, doesn't help with this because it only allows undoing all the changes in between. What you want is comparable to a diff in programming, and producing it requires the scale and power of a VCS, not some fiddly editor with a _backup dir.

You can also fill the rectangle pixel by pixel using the pencil tool! That means Gimp CAN do it and you can't complain about it!

Count how many separate tools Gimp has for brushes. I'll wait. Also instead of making excuses, Photoshop lets you completely configure which tools appear in which positions and which ones are grouped together in the tool list.

fuck off with this "nondestructive means vectors" meme. The majority of nondestructive ops work on rasters as well. One example is adjustment layers. another is clipping masks. inkscape is an ai clone, it cannot even pretend to replace ps.


 No.987931>>988612

>>987856

>>987860

Just so we can stop this shit meme I will explain it to you and anyone else who might be confused.

Non-destructive editing means being able to do transformations and adjustments to layers without affecting the layer data. In Photoshop you can group any number of layers into a "smart object", you can scale and rotate and warp it all day but you can still revert it and upscale it later without losing quality, or open the it in another window and edit it's original contents. Krita has something similar in the form of transform layers, but they're really buggy and shit. There's also file layers which let you use krita documents, but they're slow to use since you have to manually and separately fiddle with the file.

There's also adjustment layers which >>987927 mentioned, even Krita has them despite supposedly not being for "image manipulation". Adjustment layers render filters and color adjustments onto other layers without actually affecting the layer itself, so you can tweak it later or remove it if you change your mind.

Clipping masks and transparency masks are so fundamental that I didn't even consider the possibility of not having one of them. A clipping mask will blend the pixels from 2 layers with each other without merging them. Interestingly enough Krita is better than Photoshop in this regard, since you can nest layer groups and their effects indefinitely, while Photoshop only has 1 level of clipping unless it was changed since I last checked.


 No.987934

I looked around a little and it seems like gimp does have clipping masks, it's just very obtuse like most things in Gimp. You have to put the layers in a group, right click, go to "composite mode" and select "clip to backdrop".
