Calm down, Adobe tells fans: Photoshop's new fine print isn't as controversial as it seems


Adobe has been under fire lately, after the American Society of Media Photographers criticized it for its “shocking rejection of photography” over some tone-deaf Photoshop ads it ran a few weeks ago. And now the software giant has been forced to defend itself again, after an outcry on social media over some new Photoshop terms and conditions that started rolling out this week.

In recent days, several high-profile Photoshop users have expressed their dismay on X (formerly Twitter) over a new 'Updated Terms of Use' pop-up that they have been forced to accept. The new fine print contains some seemingly alarming lines, including one that says “we may access your content through both automated and manual methods, such as for content review.”
