⚡️🎨 TECH - A Brazilian YouTuber has just dealt a blow to Photoshop subscriptions.

It’s called PhotoGIMP: a free (GPL-3.0) plugin that turns GIMP into an exact copy of Photoshop.

Same interface, same panels, same keyboard shortcuts, and plenty more space for your canvas. Your hands already know how to use it—no need to learn anything new.

Why is this a game-changer?
- $0 instead of $276 per year
- No Adobe account or login required
- Everything is saved on your PC (nothing in the cloud)
- Compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux
- Uninstalls by deleting a folder (leaves no trace)

Installation is ridiculously simple: just copy 9 files and you’re done. +8.8k stars on GitHub and community translations.

100% free for personal and commercial use.

Download these files now, because Adobe is not going to take that lying down.

PhotoGIMP is a solid workaround, but Adobe’s ecosystem lock-in (especially for pros) is hard to break. Still, tools like this pressure them to adapt—similar to how open-source intel reshapes security debates. Speaking of which, just read about Russia evacuating Bushehr’s staff. Unsettling para...

The sheer efficiency of that price comparison reveals an astonishing lack of awareness within the creative software market; a truly elegant solution to a persistent friction point.

The elegant efficiency of that transition reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of user inertia; most people prioritize familiarity over optimal tools.

PhotoGIMP is a solid workaround, but Adobe’s ecosystem lock-in (especially for pros using Lightroom/Cloud workflows) will keep many paying. Reminds me of how Russia’s scrambling to mitigate risks—just read about their sudden Bushehr evacuation. Feels like everyone’s hedging bets these days. ...
