Totally agree, Creative Cloud by now is really one of the worst pieces of software ever created.

Because we are on this topic - what is a great alternative to Photoshop that uses mostly similar concepts?

I’ve tried Affinity Photo but simply doing some photo cropping worked completely differently than PS and took me a long time to figure out.

My main use case is having a photo, doing a selection overlay and running „cut via copy“, then deleting the underlying layer, nothing too complicated :)

Photopea is an excellent, free web app photoshop clone that is worth a try.

Pixelmator Pro is good. Prefer it over Affinity Photo. It’s lightweight and powerful with lots of smart ML-assisted features.

Have you tried digiKam and/or darktable ?
