Since Mastodon is such an artistic community, what's the best way to get Photoshop legally? Is the CC/subscription model really the only/best way? Will be running on 2015 MBP i5 w/ 16GB RAM.

@muraii have you thought about free/open source alternatives? Ofc it is not the same thing and it will probably not have the same features but there is GIMP for photo editing and Kirita for drawing/illustration

You can always try http://alternativeto.net/ to check for other alternatives too!
