Summary

有人用纯 Rust 开发了七款 Adobe 应用的开源替代品：Photoshop、Illustrator、Premiere、Lightroom、After Effects、InDesign 和 Acrobat Pro。作者亲自编译运行了其中两款，运行完美，并对 Adobe 的订阅与取消罚金政策表示不满。

I am super excited about what this guy did. He created open-source, 100% Rust, clean replacements for seven Adobe apps: Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom, After Effects, InDesign, and Acrobat Pro. Wow. I downloaded the source code for Photoshop and Acrobat Pro, compiled and ran it, and it works perfectly. I am super happy that this happened because I hate Adobe's pricing policy. For example, I have a subscription to Adobe Acrobat and I pay monthly. Nevertheless, when I tried to cancel my subscription, they said that I must pay a cancellation penalty—a three-month fee. And during these three months, I will not even be able to use the application. It's just a penalty. I am super happy that someone developed the same applications as open-source.
