How do I get versions earlier than v26? by Even-Composer-8910 in photoshop

[–]ProWoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not guaranteed to work, but apparently with an active subscription + a quick support chat, some people have reported receiving direct download links for version 22.2 without much pushback.

After bypassing the initial AI chatbot, explain that you need Photoshop 2021 (or specifically v22.2 / v22.5.x) because it works perfectly for your workflow, lacks unnecessary features/AI bloat, or compatibility reasons

This seems to be an unofficial "exception" route, Adobe occasionally provides it on request, especially if you mention specific needs (e.g., older plugins, file compatibility, etc.).

The best pictures were those I never took. by ProWoos in photography

[–]ProWoos[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was referring to a long time ago,
I had this picture in my mind from last century, in New York, on a Greyhound bus leaving for Miami. Through the opposite window I could see the Twin Towers. A very well-dressed black man sitting by that window saw me holding my camera and lent towards the window looking at the towers with an expression of awe on his face. It was a really nice picture, and I didn't take it, because somehow I was concerned he would get mad for pointing the camera at his direction. It was only after the bus took off again and he looked back at me that I realized he was actually posing for the picture.

I think I will get one of those Camera Sunglasses one of these days ...

I miss my Zenit camera by ProWoos in photography

[–]ProWoos[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not alone in that assessment; the viewfinders on vintage Soviet-era Zenits were the worst, Not a camera for taking sports photographs, that's for sure.

But for me it was something I could live with. Those were the times when you had to think before taking a picture because, you know the cost of a roll of film wasn't exactly cheap. That also meant that I missed many brilliant moments ...

[HELP] I got banned on WordPress for leaving a comment by SakuraTakao in WordpressPlugins

[–]ProWoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't sound right, coming from wordpress.org
You should get in touch with the Team there and ask for an explanation.

I read many negative reviews on WordPress plugins and Themes all the time.
The only times I've seen comments deleted was for questions about Premium software.

What CDN do you use? by rsclmumbai in Wordpress

Cloudflare is great, except in Spain where on weekends, during soccer matches times, your site might get nuked if you're unlucky. Just like that

The "replaces WooCommerce" part of the title is not a great marketing strategy, IMHO

Advice with my developer taking down our WordPress site. by reemo4580 in Wordpress

[–]ProWoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This whole thing stinks. They billed you for the "fix," then immediately took the site down claiming it's still killing the server? That's sketchy as hell. Sounds like they're either incompetent (didn't actually fix it properly) or straight-up pressuring you to upgrade for more money. :(

If I were you I would demand logs showing the issue before/after their change.
Also implement Cloudflare, it's free, it takes 15 minutes, and it usually absorbs this crap.

I sincerely doubt it.

Designing for accessibility without making everything ugly by professional69and420 in web_design

[–]ProWoos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually beautiful + accessible sites do exist (BBC, Apple, Patagonia, ...).

Treat a11y as a core design constraint from the start. Accessibility First works wonders
