Adobe has finally pushed too far and succeeded in making me never want to use their products again. I didn't like the pay per month scheme to begin with and now they tacked on a 50% (!) price increase to the monthly costs.

All my digital art flow is built around Photoshop and I’d have much better things to do, but I'll have to put a bunch of time and effort in learning something else - maybe #Krita? Are there good experiences or other alternatives? I know it’s definitely not going to be the G-imp.

Either way it’s time to start moving all the art files away from the .psd hostage situation. Unsure what would be an appropriately featured portable format to use, the age old .tiff format? It at least supports layers.. but would probably also mean rasterizing everything.

I know a lot of neurodivergent folks, and almost none of them are philanthropic math savant assassins.

Or he may be stupid enough and detached from reality enough that he actually believes the doctored photo is a real one. Either way:

"In a lot of ways, this is Trump in a microcosm: Terribly, insistently wrong, with no one who can or will set him straight, with no ability to self-correct – and a meanspirited bully, to boot.

That makes it a great case study for journalists to explore, rather than ignore."

Dan Froomkin encourages journalists to look at Trump's ludicrous tattoo tirade as he tried to bully ABC's Terry Moran into saying a fake, photoshopped image of Abrego Garcia's hand — and to explore this bizarre incident as a case study in who Trump is.

As he says, Trump could have been lying and smearing the lie in our faces, since we all know what he was saying as false.

I can't believe this picture of Kilmar Garcia's hand is NOT Photoshopped. Can you?

I feel so sorry for Donald Trump. People think he's not intelligent but this level of sophisticated photo manipulation would fool ANYONE.

Poor Donald.

"If this seems familiar, it should. Trump has spent years conditioning his supporters to distrust any information that contradicts him while simultaneously demanding that media outlets simply parrot his version of events. It's the same playbook dictators have used throughout history: control the information landscape by making the truth whatever you say it is."

"This isn't just about tattoos. The entire justification for leaving Abrego Garcia in an El Salvadoran prison hinges on painting him as a dangerous gang member — a claim built on incredibly shaky evidence. And when confronted with facts that contradict this narrative, Trump doesn't adjust his position; he demands the reporter change reality to match his claims."

"It's not often that an interview so perfectly encapsulates a politician's relationship with reality, but Donald Trump's recent sit-down with ABC News's Terry Moran gives us exactly that — a window into Trump's expectation that the press should simply bend to his version of events, regardless of whether they're true."

"Trump plainly thought that the 'M S 1 3' superimposition was part of the real tattoo—a position he defended explicitly, at excruciating length, in an interview with ABC’s Terry Morgan last night. Seriously, you cannot possibly believe how long he spends dying on this hill without watching it happen yourself.
