wtf is cs6-extended?

This repository distributes a copy of Photoshop CS6 Extended, an older version of Adobe's image editing software that included 3D editing tools, advanced retouching features, Camera Raw support, layers, masks, and smart objects. The README describes it as a classic version still used by some designers, photographers, and digital artists, and highlights that it does not require a subscription. The installation instructions tell users to download a zip file from a release link, extract it, run the installer as an administrator, and follow setup steps to activate the program. The README explicitly instructs users to disable their antivirus software during installation because the files are frequently flagged, and lists Windows 7 through 11 as supported, along with basic hardware requirements like 2 GB of RAM and roughly 3.2 GB of disk space. Importantly, the README itself states plainly that this is unauthorized software, that using pirated copies of Photoshop may expose a system to security risks, and that doing so is illegal in most countries. It recommends downloading only from this repository, scanning files with VirusTotal before installing, and considers a legitimate Adobe Creative Cloud subscription as the safer alternative. Given that the software instructs users to disable antivirus protection and openly admits to distributing pirated software, anyone considering this repository should treat it as a significant security and legal risk rather than a normal software installer. The repository itself lists an MIT license for its own README and installer scripts, though this does not extend any legal right to the underlying Adobe software, which remains proprietary. The project accepts contributions related to the installation process and documentation.
