You shouldn't be using any Adobe tools anymore given just how many alternatives each of their apps has:

There are more than this as well. Let's get a list going!

None of the photo editing tools are very good relative to photoshop. Affinity photo is somehow both almost there and woefully short at the same time.

Krita feels very close to me but I can understand I'm barely a photoshop adept so there may be a lot of missing feature parity I don't know about.

[–] PopOfAfrica@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Krita excels at what it does and thats illustration. It's not really a photo editing software.

Copying the image here, this seems like a decent and thorough list.

The ones I recognize are Affinity stuff (got recommended by someone on lemmy a few months ago), Krita, Procreate, Blender, PDFx-change one

[–] PopOfAfrica@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I want to use affinity so bad, but they don't make a Linux version. They actually seem kind of hostile to Linux.

Surprised Affinity Designer isn't under Ai?

Wasn't figma acquired by Adobe recently? Also, refering Hitfilm Pro for people looking for an alternative for After Effects is just a joke.

[–] not_a_bot_i_swear@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

You could replace it with Penpot. Super promising Figma alternative!

[–] otter@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Edited my comment to fix that

What would be better for AE? I don't do any video editing

[–] tungah@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Unfortunately, I still haven't found a good substitute for AE. And believe me: I find it absolutely horrendous software and would love not to have to use it anymore. Davinci Resolve can do some of the work, but the sheer amount of assets, plugins and the whole ecosystem for AE is kind of hard to replace.

Free- Inkscape and Gimp

Paid- Canva and Procreate

[–] PopOfAfrica@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

But Gimp is absolutely terrible. Inkscape is amazing, on the other hand. A real testament what to what GIMP should be.
