It may be a "bargain" in the US with the salaries you get over there. The are asking R302/m over here based on exchange rate which is expensive because salaries are much lower. Adobe killed my Elements 13 which I was unable to have re-activated so I am back to Elements 10 with a bit DXO11 if needed. No danger of AI sneaking in there!

Nothing wrong with Adobe. It’s the bedrock support for the entire graphics and 
design industry. I use the Adobe photo package every day and it gets better 
with each iteration. I think I’m paying about $10 a month, not a big deal,  a 
bargain in fact.

ON1 have just released version 2027 and I' geting still more frustrated. Even 
more unnessecary AI, fake skies, and more complex and complicated.

What are the alternatives? I'd rather  Jump from the roof than surrender to 
Adobe's ransomware. I still own DxO and am not really thrilled to fork out over 
400 € for the current version. Darktable looks like the proverbial horse 
designed by a committee...

Maybe this is a passing phase of frustration, but I hardly publish photos 
anymore.

Any advice?
