  Gimp

  This is the way

    It’s not. It’s miserable to actually use. It’s miserable to manage in a production setting. It’s just not acceptable unless you’re working for yourself.

      “oh no I have to learn something new 😭😭😭😭”

      It’s easy, real easy in a production setting. Different is not hard.

      Publishing to other formats and opening more formats are an absolute strength!

        Gimp was competition for Photoshop some 25 years ago. Photoshop has improved a lot since those days, Gimp hasn’t. Gimp isn’t even the best graphics app in the Free Software space anymore.

        Yeah…no. It’s objectively worse in many ways. Student on a budget? Hobbyist? Gimp will get the job done…but then again so will Pixlr 99% of the time. It’s gotta get a whole lot better before production houses seriously consider switching.

        Bud you’re flat out wrong here.

      I’d recommend Photopea for casual use that’s not miserable to use. It’s in browser only and is basically a photoshop clone with slightly less features, but it’s amazingly close to Photoshop when I need it to be, even with things like using a pen or a really specific option menu.

      It does generate it’s revenue via banner ads but I’ve never seen them with my adblock, if I’m needing to quickly whip something up and utilise my Photoshop familiarity, it’s my go to.

        I use Photopea too for basic editing, but it certainly wouldn’t be good in a professional environment.

        Do whatever you want on your own time 🙂

    I would rather stab myself in the eyeballs than use GIMP.

  I mean I hate Adobe as much as the next guy but photoshop is like $10/month

  source

  • Virkkunen@kbin.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Affinity Photo is $60 once and you own it forever, with free updates. It's pretty much the only actually good Photoshop replacement.

    • Vordus@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      GIMP is free and also doubles as a way to express just how much I hate myself!

      source
    • dave@feddit.uk ⁨3⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      Free minor updates. And if you buy it a month before a major version update, you get nothing. Ask me how I know :/.

      Photopea is free and in browser as well

      source

      • Buddahriffic@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        Being a browser app is not a plus imo. I’ll take a snappy native app over easy portability every day.

      They need to do a LR replacement, then I'll just switch to Affinity.

      source

      • ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        Darktable is an excellent replacement

      Yep I use and love affinity photo. It works well for my needs.

      Photography plan should still be US$10 for both PS and LR.

        That’s not what I see.

      Yeh, I use 4 applications from Adobe in very limited amounts. I wish they did a pay as you use subscription! If you use them all every day it’s cheap, but I maybe use them about 10-15 hours per month at the most.

      I have the $10 plan.

  • TwilightVulpine@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

    Americans will talk of $10 a month like it’s chump change. It’s more expensive than my water bill.

    Now add every other tool that decides to take the same approach.

    • Wahots@pawb.social ⁨3⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      $10 is also more expensive than my water bill in the US*. I purposely have as few subscriptions as possible.

      *other utility bills are higher though, like sewer capacity, which is $17/mo.

      source
    • panja@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

      If you’re using photoshop in a business or hobby capacity, $10/month is a fairly good deal.

      I personally use Affinity Photo but I’m not going to pretend that it has feature parity with photoshop.

      source

      • TwilightVulpine@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨years⁩ ago

        Paying forever is not a better deal than paying the price of a few months of use and then having it for years. Maybe a business can justify that, but for a hobby? No way.

  It could be worse. They could have looked towards Autodesk for inspiration.

    They did, tim epic just said in the article they looked to service like Photoshop and Maya
