Why I haven't been active on the site.

EDIT: I didn't know where to put this post so I just put it in FM Kits since that is where I was active most.

Hello everyone and sorry for my absence recently. The reason is since I can't really work on graphics anymore. I've had my computer stop working and I've had to start using an old Mac I've had. It runs OS X 10.8, which has pretty bad application support. I am able to web browse fine with Firefox Legacy, but almost no new applications work. I've had to track down an old version of Photoshop and I was able to find Photoshop Elements 9. It was a trial version, and the trial has been ended already and there is no way to activate the product. Even if I had the trial still going the app can't open folders and is losing features that the main Photoshop has. New FM releases also don't work on the computer. Then I simply forgot about the site since I had nothing to do on it for so long. Starting now I will try to be more active on the forums. Sorry for all that has been done.

That's perfectly fine mate, no need to explain anything. Come and go here as you wish as always!

Have you consider Photopea as a free alternative to Photoshop? It's an online image editor that does most of the things PS does.

[NassFas]

Yes actually, but Photopea shows up all weird on the browser.

what about gimp and other open source options -- it's cross-platform from what i recall? i am not too familiar with macos, but i believe there should be plenty of viable and very good graphic programs out there. i feel your pain concerning the hardware, lost a lot of my files a few times to drive crashes and such myself. good luck!

You should try Krita, very similar to photoshop.

krita is actually very different, it's a digital painting program, like corel painter and sketchbook or mypaint.
