OldNFO points out a post at Lawrence's place about how Adobe has changed their terms of service. Basically, you have to agree that they own all the work you create with their software, in order to get access to your work that you created on their software.
Sweet.
Now IANAL, and so don't know how the (inevitable) Class Action lawsuit(s) will play out. However, I am an enthusiastic user of The GIMP, a free (as in speech) Open Source Photoshop-alike application.
Yes, it has a Photoshop-worthy learning curve, but it is full featured and powerful, cross platform, and free. No weird terms of service getting changed at midnight.
If you're looking for an alternative to Photoshop, I highly recommend this.

I use GIMP as well. Never used Photoshop, but I did use Corel back in the day -- it is good too, but not free.
I am altering the deal. Pray I do not alter it any further.
Thanks for the signal boost. And yes, GIMP takes a learning curve... sigh
I use GIMP for photo editing when I need the functionality. For simple resizing, cropping, and other lightweight tasks, I use Irfanview. Also free and a lot quicker than Photoshop or GIMP.
Somebody at Adobe get diagnosed with Stage IV dick cancer?
This si the entire coporate board of that company, standing on the roof of the skyscraper, threatening to shoot themselves in the head, and the crowd below chanting "Do it! Do it! Do it!", while throwing them extra ammo in case they miss the first time.
What f**ktards.
Lurker says, appreciate your perspectves. Thank you for sharing this referral!
Aesop: what you said. I can't improve on it.
GIMP is good. So is Inkscape (Adobe Illustrator alternative). Oh, and Audacity is a good alternative to Audition.
