I use it a lot for photos, mainly for the quick filters

    What does GenP do? I read it patches the apps. But why does it need patching?

      Because it (illegally) removes the need for an Adobe CC subscription. Without the patch, the program would look for Adobe‘s services.

      Adobe Creative Cloud requires a Subscription Fee and/or Credit Card Info to install a program, but with CC Stopper you can disable network activity in Creative Cloud and patch it with GenP to restore the normal Install buttons without using a credit card. Then, after installing the programs you want, the GenP has another tool that removes the paywall from the programs.

      The limitations are the cloud reliant features such as generative fill in photoshop, and the non-classic version of Lightroom is inoperable, but for Lightroom Classic and most of the other programs and features it all works seamlessly.
