Alternatives to Adobe Creative Cloud for an easily frustrated boomer... - eviltoast

Not me. I have a client who’s a very sweet old lady who’s business is doing real bio science to treat cancer patients with cannabis extracts.

She’s very easily frustrated with technical problems and definitely has the boomer attitude that if you buy something expensive, it means it’s good. But she’s been getting more and more pissed about enshittification and big software companies screwing over their customers over the last couple years. Adobe’s new TOU has her hopping mad. She has all the research papers she’s worked on over the last 20 years in Creative Cloud.

I’ve been consulting with her off and on for six years and she will get SUPER frustrated with glitches and trouble shooting. I don’t think there’s anything out there that will work for her to ditch Adobe. But I thought I’d ask here, see if there’s anything she might try.

    If she used adobe suite for so many years, it would currently be agony to try and switch. It will take months, maybe even years to unlearn and relearn stuff properly.

    Unless she only uses it for some simple cropping or something. Maybe you can add what kind of tools she actually uses?
