For the OP: Here's a thread that may help, if you still want to use PhotoShop:

Personally... I've been happy since I switched to Affinity Photo-- runs on Windows and Mac, is currently half-off, and has a 14 day refund window.
+1.the subscription model works well for me.I believe the subscription model came as a result of widespread bootlegging and stolen software. These are very powerful, sophisticated and complex programs that took time to develop and continue to improve. Adobe does deserve to make money from it. Not that long ago, it took a $150,000 (1980's dollars, too!) computer system in a climate-controlled room, with dedicated software to do 1/10 of what Photoshop can do today on your desktop.
I bought and downloaded Affinity today. It looks like it will do what I need. I didn't bother with the trial offer. I'm going to spread the adobe money around. I'm thinking it's partly my fault for supporting a single company all this time. A humble company would have allowed me to complete my work and register in a time frame. Shutting me off from a program I Paid For is unacceptable.
I also downloaded DxO but found it will only run on win8 or later, I'm still running win7. I have run win10 and will switch to Mac before win10 again.
The new Nikon Studio is also Win 8 or later for those interested. It's a free download.
You didn’t trade it in for some thing that cost less to fix and whose local tax ( car tax is what they do here ) Isn’t be through the roof... can’t imagine affording a guzzler that is $$$ to maintain and pay taxes on...( seeing the back story you just wrote )My parents are wealthy. A few years ago, they bought me a $50,000 Cadillac because my mother was in an emotional tizzy about the Ford I drove. It was starting to rust a little, and she was afraid that people would think that I (and by extension, her) was 'trailer trash.' Every time I visited them, she'd bitch about my car and demand that I go buy a new one. I couldn't afford to do that; I was a single father putting my son (his mother chose not to be in his life) through college after suffering a stroke at 37 that forced me to stop working as a high school teacher. I made enough from my photography to get by, but barely. Finally my father shows up at my door one morning and tells me he is buying me a new car because my mother won't stop hounding HIM about MY car. I suggested that he stand up to his wife, which he didn't have the backbone to do. So, I told him that since they were afraid of people thinking our family was whitetrash, only a Cadillac CTS would do. He bought one for me. He paid cash for it.
Anyone that wastes money like that deserves no sympathy from me or anyone else.

Should have asked for a electric Porsche bmw or Tesla
cheap repairs, good gas mileage ?
nsurance companies love luxury cars ... must be $$
you can repair the car yourself ? that's great! for years
I had read in your posts and blog &c that you were somehow
incapacitated ( or someone you are connected with is )
and living on a small income.
Satisfied
To change the headlights on our PT Cruiser the car needs to be raised up enough to permit accessing the rear of the headlights through an access panel near the top of the wheel wells. You really need a hoist to do it easily.At least changing the headlights on a CTS no longer requires removing the front bumper.

Exactly !You really need a hoist to do it easily
yeahI can replace all the front lights on my Volvo with no tools-- but a screwdriver does make it easier to pop the retaining latch.
Even so, in general the car's complicated enough I take it to a local shop for service. It's a far cry from my old MGB GT with a single transistor in the entire wiring diagram.
There is always GIMP and Lightroom.
Why lower prices for retirees? What difference does it make whether the product is used for business? And where does the forcing and extortion come into play?
What if the product saved you a hour each month? Can you earn that $10 back with your extra hour?
a couple of hundred dollars a year for the programs ( book designing software and photoshop included in same package )I’d avoid subscriptions and go for a perpetual license software which Adobe does not offer. Here’s Affinity Photo. Will work on Mac OS and Windows.

When you are on Social Security with zero employer pension benefit, and you have only $60k in a self-funded IRA (what the average per has), you will understand. Access to the RAW images you took during working years, of your kids and their kids, gone because you did not pay every month.
They absolutely do: https://helpx.adobe.com/camera-raw/using/adobe-dng-converter.htmlI thought Adobe had a free program to convert RAW files to DNG.
