Complaints about Photoshop 5 LE

1. They put the website hyperlink above the marquee tool so you accidentally go online when you don't want to.
2. Everyone defends Adobe, so whenever someone exposes a defect in the product, the complaint is ignored, and everyone tells you to just live with it and work around it instead of having someone fix it. People just accuse me of being incompetent because I don't adapt to their user unfriendly software.
3. The reason for the above is that they hold a monopoly on the art software market.
4. The developers are idiots who push the envelope in wrong directions (such as inserting sound) while making the envelope ironclad in ways it should have been improved. Soft headed slobs.
5. I had to use Gimp to open a picture because Photoshop crashed every time I tried to open it. It's obviously too wimpy to open a picture file of a certain size.
6. The bar on the bottom of the work window is not a loading bar. It is a bar that measures how long it will take for the program to crash.
I wanted to resize a full color image down to 5 inches in size from its original size, but your program is too much of a sissy to run it. I was only trying to resize a 1500 pixel color image down from 5 inches to two and it crashes. It's frustrating how the program takes so long to load picture files of a certain size, only to crash once they're open, or once you make even a minor change to the file.

Photoshop is definitely a featherweight when it comes to large images. Sometimes it crashes immediately after the file is opened. Because you people are retards.
I closed out the internet and all my tray icons to save memory, but it's never enough. And microsoft always wants to use the internet to report the crash when I'm offline and I know the damn cause of the crash.
I think the computer RAM is affected by all the crashing.
Even at 1200 to 1100 pixels, the color image will not resize without a crash. The systray seems to be affecting things, but even when everything but the antivirus is closed, it crashes.
If you try to shrink a 6000 pixel color image, it will crash. You can't even save the reduced size image before the program crashes due to the memory overload. 1240 pixels doesn't work, 1230 doesn't work, 1220 doesn't work. It doesn't even work at 1200. Cropping the image, which should hypothetically save memory and prevent a crash, doesn't, due to the sloppy programming.
7. Photoshop 5 LE hides layer masks so you can't edit a layer and you can't find the layer mask easily in an intuitive fashion. You have to select a layer mask just to get rid of the damned thing.
If you have a color image that is 5000 or in width layered over a blank background or a flat one layer 4500 pixel color image, Photoshop will crash. You cannot resize a 8892X8588 color image. You'd think it would save memory to reduce the file to 5000 pixels, but it only crashes the program. This is counterintuitive. You can't crop the picture in half, despite how it would save memory. You also cannot copy half the image and past it into another document. You cannot even copy one inch of it and paste it into another document. You can only get away with half an inch at a time.
And you must close Photoshop and open it each time you do that. Not only that, but you've got to clean all the temporary files out of your system, too. It fills up the scratch disks in seconds. You can't continue until you delete the file. It impedes normal computer operations until you compress (ruin) all the files in your computer.
I couldn't continue until I deleted the file. Normal computer operations were also impeded. I was forced to compress (ruin) the files on my computer to defrag. It simply won't let you shrink a 6000 pixel image, period. You can't even save before the program crashes due to the memory overload.
You cannot crop down a 2400 pixel color image and save it, even with an empty systray. A file that is 186.6 megabites, 8 inches by 4 inches, in grayscale cannot be resized in any way without crashing the program. When reducing the pixel size to 2000 it still crashes. 1200 seems to be the maximum allowable resolution for a color image without it crashing. 1250 is too difficult for the sissy software. Even 1235 is too hard for this pathetic program. You can't even do 1220. I think it has problems with the image cache, too. Too many levels can cause it to crash when opening the files. If you even try 4 levels, you're pushing your luck. 5 will kill it every time.
Okay, I'm just brainstorming as to why this software can't do a simple operation of making something huge into something small that saves memory.
8. Photoshop is biased toward apple computers, which is why nobody cares that it doesn't work for me.
9. There is only one undo state with PS 5 LE. What's worse, it counts copying things as an undo state. It also counts deselecting items as an undo.
10. "Save" is directly above "save as", so if you don't click precisely on the spot, your change is saved forever on the master file. I know, I know. Use "save a copy" instead. The problem with that is that it asks me to do extra tasks in order to save the file.
11. Limited Edition is designed to torture people who don't want to shell out $500 for a full suite.
12. If you zoom in on the image, you cannot see the pasteboard. It just clamps down on the image area and won't let you scroll out past it.
13. Who the hell uses audio annotations? Really! What kind of retard would put sound effects on a file that nobody will ever see until you convert it to a file that doesn't support audio annotation? The only purpose I can see it serving is recording my anguished screams for posterity so that the cops know the reason I blew my brains out all over the computer monitor.
14. When you try to click the brush palette when it's beneath soemthing, it asks you to create a new brush. I don't want a new brush, you stupid program.
15. If you don't make the work window a full screen, the magnetic lasso automatically completes when you accidentally click outside of the window. Even when you're not done with the lasso.
16. Even though the lasso has the limits described above, it extends to infinity when you're zoomed in on the image and you go off the viewable area less than a millimeter. It does the same thing with the brush.
I hate you, Photoshop. You fail me again and again.
If you knew how to make using your program even more difficult, I'm sure you would have thought of it by now.
