Iniziare: Resources

I just wanted to leave this for the sake of communication, and transparency because my inactivity has been referenced in a few asks now: I'm here, I'm just exceedingly busy until sometime in September/early October. While I had planned to move from Athens to Crete towards the end of the summer either way, this has been accompanied with the unplanned event of a new job that requires a lot of training that's being stuffed into my brain while I'm still able to go to the office. I get up at 7AM every morning, and commute through an exceedingly hot city ridden with tall cement buildings, and due to the fact that I am asthmatic, that kind of pressure in the air leaves me even more tired by the end of the day than I would otherwise already be. This means that while I would love to get stuff here done faster, I often don't have the energy by the time I get home. I have seen the requests, I truly have, and you have my word that I will honor all Adobe ones and will do my best for the non-Adobe programs as well— but I please ask for a little more patience. I know that I've asked for a lot already, but I can't help but ask for a bit more.

Now, despite the above, I have managed to secure both a DL for InDesign, and Lightroom, and both are currently undergoing my little test rounds. However, as my PC isn't on as often as usual, forgive me if it takes a few more day for the downloads to go up, but they will go up soon, with InDesign first in line.

These paraphrased quotes I am referencing are taken from your answer to a previous answer to an ask sent by an anon regarding whether you’d ever release Adobe programmes for macOS users. You previously mentioned that “[you are] not a Mac user [your]self” and “[you] refuse to release or offer anything that [you] have not thoroughly tested [your]self, so that [you] can actually vouch for the safety/authenticity of the downloads/cracks that [you] offer.”

May I please inquire how you thoroughly test the windows OS versions of the adobe programmes you release? I am asking because I am assuming Windows products are not invulnerable to Apple products’ heavier than Fort Knox security?

Thank you for any insights you’re willing to provide on this!

Hi, hello! No worries at all, 'non. I understand the intention perfectly fine, and there is no tone— but even if there was, that'd be perfectly fine as well. I mean ultimately, you guys quite literally have to blindly trust my word that these downloads of mine have nothing ill hidden in them. Now granted, I hope that over the many years I've been doing this (roughly a decade by now, actually), I've proven that my downloads are clean, and that through that, I've garnered a bit of a reputation. But it's because of this 'blind faith' that, quite honestly, you're fully allowed to question me on how I test-run these things before putting them up for official download.

But in the end, my answer to this is really quite simple: I don't release/offer anything to the public without testing them first-hand myself, with which I mean that I run my own offered downloads on at least two of my own devices. They get installed and run on both my desktop, laptop for numerous hours for a period of at least 12 to 24 hours. I restart them regularly, leave then running in the background, and click around as per my knowledge in the programs at hand. After that period of time, I tend to uninstall them from my main devices unless I personally make use of said programs, and then install them on either my external SSD, or HDD to see if anything pops up there as I let them run, and they generally remain installed there so that I can see if trial notifications pop up over time, or if I can reproduce issues people may contact me about so I can then troubleshoot. All in all, they go through quite a test-trial on my end, and there is never a single program that I've offered that I haven't run myself first.

Hi, hello! I've gotten an influx of these questions over the last week or so, so I wanted to address it quickly before work. I did some extra digging, and this doesn't seem to be tied to the crack in any way and so not this specific DL, nor is it tied to Windows, this actually seems (based on my findings), something Adobe is doing server-side. Which means that most have solutioned this by denying internet access to Photoshop (for the time being at least). So I would suggest trying this as well. If you're uncertain of how to do this, follow these instructions.

My apologies for the hastily written response, I'm typing this up only minutes before work starts, but I wanted to get this out.

Hi, hello! I more than understand the caution, and respect it immensely, I'm the same way. And the answer is simple: yes, they are both me. iniziareresources is a very old resources blog of mine that was archived in 2022. I haven't posted there since then. I have had a lot of resources through the years, because I've tried separating my creative writing from my themes and resources multiple times, only to then change my mind on that, going back to combining them, only to find myself separating them again now.

I've wanted to delete that specific archive on numerous occasions now, but since some of the DLs still worked, and I hadn't uploaded new versions of the programs on that specific archive, I left it up just in case. But all of those programs either already have new up to date versions on this blog already, or they're in the works.

Hi hello! Having peeked around a bit, an error 182 seems to often be a pathing issue, and the workaround that I find many stating on Reddit, is to move the downloaded .zip to a different folder (I often suggest the desktop), extract there, and then try the reinstall from the set-up, including to an entirely different location if possible (so not repeatedly into the same folder that's then followed by the error). Other suggestions I see are to change the language from how it usually says 'Native', to your actual language, including setting it to English in specific. Seems like an odd workaround, but it's about budging the installation pattern.

I did have a look at what Adobe claims, which is an incomplete download, but I've since reinstalled this again on this desktop of mine, and my laptop without issue, so it would not be an incomplete file, or corrupted.

Thank you for this, it's very sweet to receive, but truly: you're very welcome. I'm just glad that my little pirating ways can also help others out! I'm still a little limited in my capabilities of housing all of these downloads, and would prefer to host them differently, but this will work for now as long as people don't have too many preferences as to what hosting website they download from. Outside of that, I'm doing what I can, as semi-quickly as life allows it. So if what I have up so far has already been of help, then I'm very glad!

Hi there! Doing Mac releases is something that I very much would like to do, but because I am not a Mac user myself, it is quite difficult for me to offer them in a timely fashion. I refuse to release or offer anything that I have not thoroughly tested myself, so that I can actually vouch for the safety/authenticity of the downloads/cracks that I offer. And since I can't test Mac downloads myself, this poses some issues. I used to have a friend who had quite the strong commitment to testing Mac downloads for me, but we have (alas) since parted ways, so I have lost my designated "test subject". So unless someone comes along who's willing to test them out for me (nothing bad would ever happen, as Apple products are heavier on security than Fort Knox itself), the releases of them will come very slowly but surely, and only after random offers from people.

Released early on July 15th of 2025, presenting one of the latest updates of Substance 3D Designer. As per usual, I aim to make this as quick, and painless as possible to everyone (including those who aren't tech-savvy in any way), and this should only take a minute or two of your time once the download has finished. The DL itself also includes the same installation instructions as noted below.

Head over to the DL on my OneDrive, and download it.

Go into the 'Setup' folder, and click the 'autoplay' file (it is not in a sub/secondary folder.)

Hit 'Install' on the new window. Adobe's usual installation window will pop up after that. Install it as per your preferences (if you aren’t too tech-savvy, don’t worry, you can leave the default installation options as they are and all will be fine).

Hit 'Launch’, and enjoy your copy of Substance 3D Designer!

Hello! You're so welcome, I've always been very happy to help, and I'll never quite change, it seems to be in my bones at this point! But it thrills me to see that people have used my resources for as long as you note that you have, but it certainly adds extra scoops of motivation to keep doing this. As for your request, I'll get on it! I'll do my best to get to this during the rest of the weekend, but I make no promises. But if not this weekend, then it'll pop up sometime in the upcoming week or the following weekend.
