Now that it's free is there any reason to even bother with cracking the latest versions anymore?
>>51257632
Content aware fill in Photoshop.
>>51257632
If you're a casual user with light editing requirements and a modestly powered computer there's no reason at all. The older versions still handle a lot like the new ones, just without the new features and this makes them great learning tools
>>51257673
Content aware stuff was actually the last big feature I remember them developing in newer versions. Other than that is there really no must-have features that I'd miss by using CS2? For the most part I get better results by creating masks manually anyway, but content aware can be useful in a pinch. Really for the most part I'll mainly be using Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop
>>51257868
Do you not understand how amazing content aware is.. Run that shit in a sandbox and enjoy it
>>51257917
It's convenient, sure but I just don't use it a lot for my purposes (amateur video editing). So what has Adobe done to convince people to switch over to a subscription? The value proposition seems like shit when CS2 can be used legally for free.
>>51257868
You are not seeing the potential of content aware fill. It gives you an amazing starting point, it's quick, and most important it's automatic. Saves you so much time, and sometimes gives you amazing results.
Pic related: Left before right is left after the stains have been selected and removed with content aware fill only. Might seem very constructed, but that's actually a common scenario when you are scanning negatives. You have dust etc on your negative. Instead of just blurring the whole picture or going through the whole thing bit by bit (literally takes many hours), you can just isolate the dust and use CAF on it and you are almost done. The picture took me just 10 seconds. Doing it manually would take me twenty minutes easily, even though it's the simplest example possible.
>>51258026
I don't doubt its utility, it's just not something that I need in video editing. Most of the time my subject will be in front of a color keyed screen, and I think CS2 even has chroma keying.
Just for shits and giggles, I'd like to see content aware working in practice. With features like that I usually find that they sound great on paper but don't do very well in practice without a lot of extra effort that could have been spent just using conventional methods. Can you remove the duck on the left side of this image only using content aware fill?
>>51257954
Sandbox... There is no reason not to be updated

OP you ill?
>>51257632
ALL MY FUCKS! I *JUST* SWITCHED TO LINUX!
>>51258216
Admittedly, it's far from perfect, but it's just a great start considering it took me 30 seconds to select and remove the duck like this. Very often you'd just remove zits or something with this, and most of the time the result is already perfect, if you have enough context for the algorithm. But I see that this might not be as useful for everyone. Personally, I almost always use it to get a rough first draft (which is sometimes surprisingly good).
>>51257761
this
it also runs very well on old gnu workstations with wine
>>51258026
>content aware fill
I use more indesign, though. I don't know of any new and useful indesign CS5 features
>>51258292
Not bad, it even got his reflections. I'm impressed
>>51258292
holy shit that is insane. Another!
>>51258380
Use content aware fill to change this from a yandere face to a tsundere face
Latest versions are also free with an amazing 100% pirate discount, why not get the latest version?
>>51258412
I used to always pirate them, but I got a scary letter in the mail awhile back about bittorrent so I've switched to DL only methods (nzb) and it's really difficult to find a reliable and clean copy of the latest versions online
>>51258380
What ducks?
>>51258448
Are you a retard? What has got bittorrent to do with cracked software? There are tons of direct download forums (e.g. warez-bb.org) with links to rapidgator, uploaded.to and many many more sites for 3rd world internet countries like US.
>>51258463
I see ghost duck wakes, 8/10
>>51258448
You can get the software from Adobe, actually. It's some weird trick, you have to download Lightroom first (I think) which is available without their stupid downloader shit. With those cookies, you can then download the whole CC suite directly. Just google it.
Then you just need a crack, which shouldn't be a problem, as it's just a few KB.
This worked for OS X, no idea whether the same procedure works for Windows, actually.
>>51258503
Breddy damn good for a quick pass with an algorithm

>>51258609
Can you get hardware acceleration with video encodes with that?
Thanks OP. Now maybe I can get rid of GIMP.

Teach me, oh wise one, so that I may follow in your footsteps.
>>51258285
Photoshop CS2 works well on wine
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/01/photoshop-cs2-available-for-free-works-fine-in-wine
>>51258618
i don't really know, i can find out for you, just tell me how, and maybe this will tell you something?
>>51258629
No problem, let me know if you figure out how to get it to stop nagging about registering. I've tried clicking "do not register" and I've tried registering with bogus data but it still always pops up every launch. Quite annoying as fuck
>>51258667
also this, don't know if this is what you're looking for
>>51258667
Oh cool, it looks like it does, I think that's what the graphics processor checkbox is, and it looks like it found you NVidia card.
I was more wondering about Premiere Pro/After Effects/Media Bridge, but I think they use the same GPU compute framework as Photoshop.
I didn't expect that to work on Loonix because of drivers. So are you emulating in Wine or is that a VM? or?
>>51258686
no, it's full wine it took me a while to figure it out though, i use play on linux to run separate versions of wine at a time, i think it's the best and most organized alternative, and i do have a VM with windows XP, but it's just for nostalgia games
>>51258670
>>51258629
Ah I figured it out, run as admin, click do not register, close and reopen
Wala
>>51258730
Yep, I googled that up too.
*Voila
>>51257632
Is this shit any good?
>>51258770
get latest cracked not need to find out if it is
>>51258770
Photoshop CS2 was the first version I ever used, and it served me well. It has great plugin support so any image format you need to work with is possible and the built in toolset is pretty comprehensive. There's also key bindings for just about everything so you can be very nimble once you learn how to use it. Also, all of the skills you learn on it are transferable to the newest versions of the Adobe programs if you ever get into it professionally.
>>51258650

>>51258686 (if you wanna try it out anon)
install play on linux, create a virtual drive, you'll know what i mean when you see it, and use
>wine 1.5.1 for Photoshop CS6
>wine 1.5.11 for Illustrator CS6
i had the luck to find a Photoshop CS6 installer which didn't require to input my adobe acount, so it worked perfectly, i just opened the .exe installer with playonlinux and it worked, you have to install this dependencies within play on linux for it to work
>amtlib
>corefonts
>gdiplus
>msxl3
>msxl6
>vc2010
and for illustrator i wasn't lucky to find a working .exe setup in linux ( they all require for you to sign in, and that's what fucks the installation up ), so i used a portable version of it, so far so good, it has never hang up on me so far, it's exactly the same as with photoshop, that means
>amtlib
>corefonts
>gdiplus
>msxl3
>msxl6
>vc2010
and run the portable exe.
as for After effects, i have never tried that one out, but i wouldn't recommend it, if you use after effects heavily you're better off with windows... as it is x64 exclusive.
i was just working on this on illustrator today in Linux
>>51258783
Where's the best place to find non-malware cracks?
>>51258796
Might try it out then. I always wanted to learn how to use Photoshop
>>51258829
as some one said above wbb and for torrents kat.cr
you must be a little retard to fall to malware this days desu
Can anyone help me with this? Just downloaded it from the Adobe site and every time I try to install it I get this message during the "Writing Files" part.
>>51258026
Wait, content aware fill removed those black dots? Holy shit, wtf is this sorcery?
>>51258852
That's not a great error message. Any info under /Library/Logs/Adobe/Installers/ ?
>>51258258
>have built desktop
>i7 processor

Looks like I'm set.
>>51258814
>>51258829
I forgot one thing, the method of activation, you just look for the respective .dll of your CSX version, wich is amtlib.dll, that's the crack, you download a cracked amtlib.dll from the internet, and put it in it's respective folder, and that's it, activated adobe product.
>webm attached showing the location on linux
>>51258852
Did you Google it?
Why would you think any of us are on Macs?
We Googled our registration popup issue. Google yours.
>>51257673
content aware is really nice but if you're not able to play for PS legally you probably don't need it.
>>51258852
>using mac
>expecting any better
>>51258852
PS CS2 is not supported on Intel Macs unfortunately.
>>51258922
Not even with rosetta? I don't think it's installed by default anymore, you might have to track it down
>>51258833
>WBB
Guessing I have to register to access the goods? I'm just paranoid about downloading copyrighted materials and cracks on public trackers
>>51258899
Why would you think that? Retouching stuff is one of the major things you want to do with PS, even as an amateur.

Yes, free registration. For countries like US, UK, etc direct downloads are the only secure way
>>51258938
I don't believe Rosetta is around any longer. They got rid of it with Lion or Mountain Lion iirc. Just download CC from Adobe and use the X-Force crack and you'll be fine.
>>51258961
why don't you use the amtlib.dll crack for any version you need?
>>51258875
>>51258873
Usually when an application doesn't run on an Intel mac, the icon has a cirlce with a line through it and when it's opened it says the operating system isn't supported. Wouldn't that be the case with the installer if that were true?
>>51258987
Uh idk, it looks like from that screenshot that the installer opened and just ran into a problem. Usually logs about the installation are stored in Finder under that path I mentioned. Maybe it's something that can be fixed, it's just not easy to tell from that generic error message
>>51258961
>>51258987
If you google the issue, you'll find that many are running into the same problem, plus you find lots of sources that mention that CS2 only works on PPC architecture or with Rosetta.
>>51258922
>Photoshop not supported on Mac
words that blow minds, how the fuck
>>51258964
>For countries like US, UK, etc direct downloads are the only secure way
What a shit future. Anyways, thanks! Now I have a safe place to download software.
>>51259002
I checked the Logs, nothing.
I gave up, currently torrenting CS6.
>>51257632
It was never free, but it's missing a lot of features the newer versions have
>>51258875
does this work for all of them? :o
>>51259014
Ah yeah you're right, looks like Adobe decided to just kek people into buying CS3 rather than fixing CS2

Now it's like the view from someone with a middling reiatsu. You can sense her presence, but not quite make her out.
Firstuploads is the new chingliu
>>51259036
i have used that fix since CS3 up to CS6 but you gotta search for the one specific for your version, for example
>CS6 amtlib.dll for 32bit won't work for photoshop CS6 64bit and vice versa
but yeah, once you got, let's say the CS6 version of amtlib.dll both x64 and x86 versions, you just copy the same file into each program folder respectively, you will know you're on the right folder cause it asks you if you wanna replace an already existant amtlib.dll some amtlib.dll are in different folders, like Illustrator, but just look for them you'll find them, and replace them with cracked versions, remember x64 and x86 are different amtlib.dll's
Fuck now I'm getting this with CS6...
Am I eternally fucked?
>>51259136

>>51259170

>>51259136
Found the log report and searched the error on Adobe's support page, it said to redownload and extract the installer. Kept the crack files and I'm gonna download the installer itself from Adobe's website.
>>51259101
gracias. time to search for them dank amtlib.dlls. has the newest version been cracked yet?

Don't know m8, but I the cracked CC version works on my rMBP.

y'all don goof'd, it was just a mistake
>>51259804
Where did you get that?
>>51257673
is it implemented in any competing product?
I still use clone stamp, the content aware shit never works right for me. By the time it guesses something right I'm done fixing the image with clone stamp twice.
direct link anyone?

look here, retard
>>51259996
>>51258026
If you are scanning noisy slides/negs, you should use ICE.
It uses an infra-red channel to detect the actual noise, and then uses a similar filter to remove the noise.
I personally try to avoid any digital cleaning of pictures though. I give each slide a quick and hard blow under a powerful fan to remove any dust and hair, and keep the scan as-is. I find even the best cleaning job in Photoshop makes the image look 'faked'.
>>51259996
Right, so it's winrar-free. What are you some kind of candy ass hall monitor?
>>51258814
Will a portable version of PS CS6 work as well?
>>51257632
lie
"You have heard wrong! Adobe is absolutely not providing free copies of CS2!
What is true is that Adobe is terminating the activation servers for CS2 and that for existing licensed users of CS2 who need to reinstall their software, copies of CS2 that don’t require activation but do require valid serial numbers are available."
>>51258292
>Content aware fill
Not really necessary, if anything these duck pics prove it.
>>51261578
What the hell are you doing m8? I literally just selected the black areas using the magic wand, expanded the selection and filled it with content aware fill.
>>51259804

>>51263315
The serial numbers are posted on Adobe's CS2 download page you muppet. I, and several others have been using it without issue.
>>51263341
Yeah, it's probably nothing that is enabling you to do things that you couldn't do before. It just speeds up the process a lot. To me one of the most impressive features of PS and one of the most impressive algorithms in general honestly.
I have the latest photoshop (and lightroom) for only 9.99€/month, I love the photography bundle thing

>>51259018
CS2 was released in '05 and the Intel Mac didn't exist before '06. We all know how long adobe takes to update shit.
>>51258026
Shame it fucked up at the right eye
>>51257632
CS1 & 2 were the worst versions, I remember how many people stuck with 7.0 long after CS came out because of how it it was. I only dipped in by CS3 and it was smooth sailing from there. CS4 was GOAT however.
>>51263616
*how shit it was
>>51263616
Huh I never used Elements so I couldn't say if CS1/2 were better or worse, but I never had problems. I guess people will stick to what they know.
>>51257632
Content Aware
Better hardware acceleration
64BIT for heavy workloads
>>51263616
I did the same thing back then. But admittedly, 7.0 was fucking great, stable as fuck. I upgraded when CS5 came out, that was when I felt that Adobe was back on track again.

Here, spared you a registration.
>>51263774
It's basically a really smart clone/stamp/heal tool. You select an area, Photoshop scouts the image for similar textures and patterns, and then attempts to fill in the blanks, sometimes using multiple sources.
CAF is much more than that though, it can anticipate what a photo would look like beyond the boundaries, so instead of losing image area when correcting for perspective distortion or stitching, you can fill in the missing area. As of CS6 it can now detect "gradients", so skies continue on as smooth tones instead of simply repeating the last color.
Then there is Content aware scale, that lets you mark important objects, and then stretch the image around without distorting objects. Obviously this is something that won't work for certain image types like architecture, but very useful nonetheless. CA move is fairly situational, and I've rarely had to move stuff around.
Do note that the heal brush in later versions is CA enabled, meaning that you simply have to paint in the area you want fixed, instead of having to create a selection.
>>51264003
so are there any alternative editors doing the same?
>>51264003
The heal brush is incredibly useful for scanlation shit.
>>51264003
It can't do anything you can't do without it in a timely manner, but it can speed it up sometimes. It's not amazing.
>>51257632
You can activate up to cs5 by simply modifying the hosts file, no?
>>51264090
Nope, this is a pure example of what deep pockets and a full-time engineering team can buy you, it took them a lot of effort to create this.
>>51264144
Nothing was impossible a decade ago, but CA saves just enough time that stuff you'd not have bothered with before is just a brush stroke or enter key away. Having to juggle between heal, clone and cutting/pasting to work on different types of detail is something I'll not look back on with rose-colored glasses.
>>51258667
>those ugly as shite buttons
>>51264144
From an algorithmic point of view, it's pretty fucking amazing.
>>51264202
I get it, its impressive. Now please stop using the word, "algorithm", its a bit repetitive at this point. Vocabulary is important
>>51264273
What else would you call a complex problem broken down to code f am?
>>51264090
The Resynthesizer plugin for GIMP does about the same, it's not as great as CA in photoshop or as user-friendly but it does a pretty good job.
>>51264191
i love 'em
>>51264907
tried it, it sucked. pity, because from what I understand, Adobe hired the guy that made the plugin. The hard work seems to have been done. But in true GIMP-fashion, all work being done is on the todo list, not on anything substantial (hello 8bit images).
>>51264736
There's a lot of different words that could be used. A feature, a tool, a solution etc. Algorithm also doesn't necessarily have to do with computers either. You're not wrong by calling it an algorithm it just sounds overtechnical
