Among the most significant changes with this year’s Elements releases has little to do with new features but instead concerns the ways users purchase and own the software. While prior versions of Photoshop and Premiere Elements have been lifetime licenses — the user buys the software and then owns it indefinitely — this year’s release has moved to a three-year license term.
Fuck Adobe. They are the epitome of the greedy, toxic software company.
I switched from Photoshop over to Krita last year. I’ve tried Gimp in the past, but just can’t adjust to the UI. Krita is different too, but not to the same degree. I’ve been enjoying it. It’s well-made and very powerful, with very good online support.
Can recommend the Affinity suite for anyone looking for some good alternatives.
Darktable is alright for LightRoom replacement as well.
it’s funny that affinity designer can parse PDFs much better than illustrator
Inkscape recently also got decent multipage import and export for multipage pdfs and honestly it works great!
Affinity was sold. Sorry
Swapped to the Affinity suite a few months ago and have been loving it. DaVinci Resolve replaced Premiere. Still having trouble finding a decent After Effects replacement though. I’ve been eyeing Natron but haven’t tried it yet.
What does natron offer that you would use it over fusion (in davinci resolve)?
To be honest, I never considered fusion to be the same thing. But I guess it is. Hmm. Thanks for that insight. I’m going to look into fusions features more.
Oh yeah resolve is great as well. Love how they all have iPad apps too, moved so much of my workflow to the couch.
Have you tried https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP for a Photoshop themed GIMP?
Today I went to cancel the Adobe stock trial, and during this extensive cancellation process, they tried to score me on another package for a year, and when I checked, it didn’t include the product which I was fucking canceling… Which is just insane and ridiculous!
Hey I’m canceling this product.
Oh ok. You want to give us a bunch of money for more unrelated products?
