  • stability6 mentions

    The stability of the software is heavily criticized, with users reporting frequent crashes after initial successful use, rendering it unreliable for ongoing projects. Despite attempts at troubleshooting, the program remains unstable, leading to frustration over its high cost relative to its performance. Alternative options are also noted to be buggy, but users express dissatisfaction with Adobe's pricing strategy amidst these issues.

    • “Incredibly buggy-- worked fine for the first project I made, but subsequent tries to start a new file or open a project crash the program immediately.”
    • “Program continues to crash for no reason despite several troubleshooting processes, and Adobe has the audacity to overcharge for a perpetual software license for buggy software.”
    • “Adobe has a horrible reputation for increasing prices; the Photoshop lifetime license is around $1,000, and many of their programs are heading in that direction thanks to small price increases every 2-3 months. Alternative options like ArmorPaint are still too buggy, as they are still in the alpha stage.”
