Photoshop Replacement


That’s weird, because there are several email clients that are not Outlook yet work with Exchange.

There’s the old ActiveSync, the soon-to-be-shutdown EWS, and now MS Graph. Microsoft doesn’t exactly
make Exchange integration a secret.
Of course they wouldn't. One Server to Rule Them All.

I've also read here that this developer is going after Microsoft Office products also.

Well I hope it's more than just a one-man shop because they tend not be around for very long.

They have already created clones of Word, PowerPoint and Excel, you can read about it at Techspot .

That's also good, but it all depends on how widespread they are adopted, especially by governments and institutions.

I agree with @Kees THIS pricing page says "Create without LIMITS". I wouldn't expect it to be around long by the time Adobe's lawyers get through with them.

I think it would be pretty interesting to see that happen, but AI changes the way things will be from now on. Whether Adobe can monopolized like it was in past or not.

The courts may come with all sorts of rules, but it remains to be seen whether AI respects any of that or not.

When you install it - Word/Office, it reinstalls one drive - even if you had already uninstalled one drive. So then I uninstall it again and sign out as mentioned above. You need to sign in initially to activate it.

So yes you can just sign out and stay signed out, as I do - until word does some weird thing like it did to me the other day and wanted something verifying and I found it had signed me in again and document saves were getting one drive save options again. I just signed out and it went away. But that recent experience, it seemed to be doing something of it's own accord! Maybe an update. That was annoying.
That's evil.. :-)
But as i know modern windows is evil, i always create empty ghost-files of the program/file that i never-ever want to be reinstalled.. If trusted installer and the system dont have privileges/rights to the ghost-file or folder.. the installer will fail and cant complete the installation or "repair"
If windows is evil.... be even more evil back. :devilish:

Hi folks
A pretty good FREE no nonsense program which runs on both Windows and Linux and has been around for ages and still getting developed is GIMP. Has pretty well anything any even semi-pro photographer would need including curves, layers, white balance etc etc.

Or you could just install Office without OneDrive correctly, and it never comes back. I realize that's not as fun as complaining about an OS you don't use.

No doubt, but didn't those clones take lots of effort by many people. Not defending Gridcraft here. But I can imagine that an 80% clone done in several weeks is "better" for some people than a 100% solution done in months or more.
I would still want something that works than something that's not 100% finished

Well it’s less than obvious how to do it; they don’t make it plain for non-IT folks, which is kind of unfortunate.
