Just tried the 7 day free trial of Photoshop and deleted it like 10 minutes later because it was so awful. Here are some highlights:

AI, so much AI.
Advertising, so much advertising.
Why yes we steal your data.
$40 a month for the cheapest option.
"If you cancel your subscription you will no longer be able to use Photoshop. No, there is no way to own the product outright.
Why yes we will include a bunch of programs and cloud services that you don't want and will never use. No, there is no plan that is just Photoshop.
Sign in to your Adobe account to uninstall.

Download an abandonware version or the last released non-cloud version.

Use a VPN before downloading via bittorrent.

Here is a direct download page, no torrenting required. Adobe Photoshop 2025 with a DRM crack. You may need to disable microsoft defender temporarily to run the crack and/or undo protection actions like quarantining the crack exe file.

I've never downloaded from this site before, but it was linked from the reddit piracy megathread so it's probably legit.

if anything goes wrong in the future you will probably just need to update the hosts.txt file, there's a github that keeps it current
