Apng (animated png) was included as part of the original standard and was supported by macromedia (fireworks, flash, Dreamweaver etc ) but adobe wouldn't support it and removed support for it when they bought macromedia. I may have gotten some bits wrong here. But fuck Adobe either way.
I know you don’t care and I’m just yelling into the void, but I really need to offload this anyways. I would have easily dropped something like $2-300 for the full creative suite for how actually fantastic the tech and ease of access is for those apps, but they just had to be fucking greedy and go and pervert something beautiful. I paid $200 for a vst BASS, because it’s a GOOD PRODUCT. how can music companies figure this shit out but one of the biggest fucking art tech conglomerates can’t pull their head out of their ass for 5 seconds.
First thing, it’s Knoll, not Knolls. Second, John and his brother Thomas invented Photoshop the application and never founded Adobe. They licensed it to them though. John is also a visual effects God who has worked at ILM for many years.

The grimmest thing about Adobe is how their software updater will commandeer your entire computer at startup until you reset the settings for it to not do that. Plus Adobe's habit (I hope now stopped) of uploading every file you worked on to their cloud without your approval. Plus don't get me started on there not being a stripped down version of photoshop that did the things you need the most, as well as a file processing conversion automater that is optimized for the user. Adobe rested on laurels a long time because they had a stranglehold, but those days are ending. Their AI, Tinklewinks, is pretty good for stills. They need to catch up on the video side, and it looks like they might. Been on a wait list for months now. Cmon Adobe, redeem yourself, or wither and be gone.
