Well, today I learned. But if both OP and their friend are tech savvy enough to get a cracked copy of Adobe stuff, then they’re probably tech savvy enough to get PhotoGimp working. Both are simple things, after all. Plus, if they can’t get PhotoGimp working or need the auto-removal or auto-selecting stuff, then I saw someone mention a couple of other alternatives. So they could use one of those, assuming those fit their needs.

I don’t know if anyone else mentioned it, but GIMP is free and apparently has a plugin that makes it look and feel exactly like Photoshop. It’s entirely legal as well, so Adobe can’t do anything about it.

Might be good to know, if you OR your friend wanna use Phototshop, but don’t wanna give Adobe any money. Edit: I can’t say anything about other Adobe software, though. This is just for Photoshop, as far as I know.
