Photoshop has been around for over 3 decades. It's original patents must have expired by now.

I am also curious how software like Photopea exists. It is a direct Photoshop rip off. But it only runs in your browser. For small jobs it is fantastic since the layout is exactly the same as Photoshop, unfortunately for larger projects it doesn't have the speed that a natively installed app would have. Still check out the website if you need Photoshop functionality without paying Adobe's prices.

But how has Adobe not shut that site down since it mimics Photoshop so closely?

I wish Abode well and would love to see what they come up with.

Awesome guy! I hope he will succeed with this project. I'm also wondering if that guy who made photopea.com is in his team, because if not he should definitely hit him up.

I think I figured out the meaning behind the Abode icons:

It Is Po Od

It is pood

Gotta love the guy.

Someone tell Semple that Anish Kapoor is working with Adobe, that ought to make him extra spicy in the lawsuit.

What about Acrodat? I really hope they make Acrodat.

That name really sucks tbh. I suppose they should change the name. Adobe's current updates really bottlenecks my max spec PC, that's why I switched from Premiere to Davinci Resolve. Biggest switch in my career, but so far I'm currently loving it!

Like others, I'm doubtful he will produce anything with that little, I hope I'm wrong.

Maybe if he was forking existing open source projects and polishing them it's possible, but it's supposed to be closed source.
