I’ve had good results removing the coating with armor etch, but be warned that the uncoated plastic lens are now more prone to scratches. I was able to extend the life of my glasses about 6 months before I got annoyed with the microscratches building up, was able to save up for a new pair.
Same here, CS6 PS+LR was the last one I bought.
I’d argue that there is, but we are just too used to the Lightroom or Photoshop way of thinking/workflow. We don’t entertain other programs because it is difficult to learn a new way of doing things and return to a place of competency. And the less people use a piece of software, the less there will be documentation to help others learn.
I’m not sure if its a conspiracy theory or verified, but I do think that Adobe were okay with people (amateurs) pirating their software. We didn’t have the money to pay for it anyway, but it got us to become proficient at using Photoshop so that when we eventually had money, we were locked in.
Don’t forget darktable as a lightroom alternative
Or… How about using a different program instead of Adobe’s so that we van eventually change what the “industry standard” is?
Welp…Slay the Spire is apparently 1gb installed, so it’ll probably be that
