    Well, my copy of CS3 finally told me to fuck off, it's not going to install. I upgraded my Windows PC to 10 and it's not working. I knew this was coming eventually.

    Since I rarely use photoshop or illustrator, I *might give Affinity a whirl. I've been using gimp at work for basic cropping, resizing, etc. It works fine, but it just feels weird.

    No way I'm paying for a subscription to something that rarely gets used (anymore). Which, really fucks me off actually. I spent so many hours learning this software, and I always paid for my personal copies.

    But, $50/month, or even $20 just for PS is mostly going to be pissed down the toilet. I get why they did it. Why shouldn't they make money on their tool? But for casual users, it makes no sense.

    • have you checked there isn't some gizmo to make windows 10 play nice? i had the same thing happen to me with high sierra or whatever the latest macos is.hans_glib
    • the wife's it crowd upgraded her laptop without asking and suddenly cs3 didn't work. fuckers. but a quick rummage on the internethans_glib
    • dug up some plugin that allowed them to run (forced the system into 32bit mode or summat). may well be something similar for windoze.hans_glib
    • quirk 7, on the other hand... totally shit the bed :(hans_glib
    • It installs, but it won't launch. I'm at work now, I forget the error message. I'll dig into it some more, but there's not too many people running CS3 on W10section_014
    • What about Ps Elements if you only want simple things?formed
    • Have you tried running it in compatibility mode? W10 can "fake" being W7... also, you could try using a virtual machine with an older windows in it for your CS3zarkonite
