Watch: Adobe angers artists with new Photoshop terms (techcrunch.com)

Artists got an unpleasant surprise when they opened Photoshop this week, as they were shown a pop-up window asking them to agree to new terms of service. Among the changes: Adobe now says it has the right to access customers’ content through “automated or manual methods.”

Now it’s true that when we use cloud services, we sacrifice a certain amount of privacy. And it’s not unusual for social networks, for example, to claim similar rights — when you share your photos on Facebook, you’re also giving Facebook the right to use those photos. But we’re not talking about your personal Facebook or Instagram photos; Photoshop is used by many, many professional artists for their livelihoods. They might also be working on sensitive or confidential material.

The moment you upload your data to some company cloud you no longer have control over it. They can use however the want it.

I only use Gimp for my image editing and I can literally do everything I ever attempt. I do stuff game modding and 3d model textures sometimes. Wtf else do people want in gimp, an automatic dick sucking machine?

Doesn't gimp have a bunch of hard-coded sRGB shit, which makes it absolutely worthless piece of garbage for any even half-serious work?

Yep, which should change when they release 3.0.
