        The irony is, I pirated Photoshop when I was young and poor, and now that I’m older and can afford to pay $500-$1000 on software I know I’ll use, I still refuse because I hate subscription models.

        So I still pirate it out of the principle, despite buying plenty of other software.

        I mean, In general I hate the rent-your-software trend, but 10 bucks a month for Photoshop isn’t bad and the FOSS alternatives are just not up to snuff for anything other than the most basic of tasks. I’m saying this as somebody who struggled through learning The GIMP years before I ever got my hands on a copy of Photoshop.

      I’ve found that Krita is pretty easy to use and does most of the things I would otherwise have to use Photoshop for.
