....pirating them at all instead of learning Inkscape & Krita.
Krita is so underrated.
My one complaint is you can't export to PDF and it has no print function to use a PDF converter either..
That is a very specific thing you want to do. Maybe open an issue?
I don't know that it that specific, PDF is widely used for printing at least where I've ordered from.
Love krita. Swapped over to it completely myself. Still missing a lot of what makes photoshop so good, but it's very good on its own
Is gimp no longer recommended?
Gimp is great for regular photo editing but when it comes to digital painting or drawing it lacks alot of the features needed. Krita isn't as good, I'd argue, at photo editing as gimp is however so both have their place
how I see it is what one intends to use the software for. for ones self, and for commision work, the other options are perfectly fine (and imo encouraged). the sole reason why someone would use the adobe products is if theyre looking to work in a company already using the suite, or they already just happen to have the skillset already in it, and switching would change workflow.
anyone learning from the start imo should consider the other options first.
I mean, this is kind of silly to say though. Don't support them, but if you're looking for a serious graphic design career, just learn Adobe suite, they share most of the same workflow so if you learn one or two you learn the basics of all of them.
You get to be versatile and hireable
