@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social you can also use #FreeCAD to draw up your house or anything else parametrically, and then export as STL and use #blender to make a movie of it/with it.

I was using Krita for almost everything anyway already. The only thing I still need Photoshop for is in the very rare times I need to add curved text to an image. And for that I have a Jack Sparrow edition of Photoshop that runs in a virtual machine that isn’t allowed to connect to the internet.

If you are a creative freelancer and have any confidentiality agreement with your clients, then it is now impossible to use Adobe without violating those agreements. And there is massive liability if you mess it up.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Bro, even YOU guys are suggesting GIMP, meanwhile most people try to use Krita as an image editor cuz of the UI and other issues i can't fully understand. Is like using a Lawnmower to cut wood. Edit: I need to clarify that i'm saying that people are using the WRONG TOOL for the job, i'm not saying either of these programs suck.

Thank God … I’ve been on Gimp and Scribus for the past 15 years, mainly because I could never afford Adobe products for the little bit of work I needed them for. I was open source a long time ago because I just couldn’t afford paying for stuff for the little time I needed software. Now I’m happy to be fully open source and even contribute with donations to the projects I like the most. I donate annually now to projects like Wikipedia, Libreoffice, Scribus and Fediverse developers and projects. This is one criticism I’ll always have with open source supporters … if you want open source alternatives, contribute with donations to them. Give anything you can afford … $1, $2, $10 … because they need money to survive and stay engaged and committed to their project. If we all just stand aside and take advantage of free open software and not give anything, then we are no better than the corporations we were trying to avoid. Instead of corporations taking advantage of us, we are taking advantage of developers. So if you want these open projects to live and survive, contribute to them with whatever you got. If we all just gave a dollar each to these projects, no matter what they are, the developers would have more than enough to maintain their work. And whatever you contribute, it will be far less than the hundreds of dollars annually you would have given to a big corporation that would have just counted your money as profit and not directly contribute or support the actual developers.

In all fairness, Adobe has posted a clarification: 9to5mac.com/2024/06/07/adobe-terms-clarified/ Do what thou wilst with it.

@kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Thanks for this post. It's super helpful! Do you have any suggestions for replacing substance painter? I've been getting by fine with blender and krita. Your kdenlive suggestion was a godsend! 🤩

Inkscape is far inferior to illustrator, has stability issues, support for filetypes is limited, copy pasting to other software non existant. Scribus is just awful dogshit. Gimp is a graphic software that is hostile to UX, not to mention has stability issues, is slow and in every category inferior to photoshop. Blender is fucking amazing but 3d graphics is not really the same kind of software as the rest. Different type of users use it that have a very different set of skills and needs. And with all video software. Beyond all of this, even if we ignore all of that, almost all graphic designers use Adobe, companies use Adobe, if you are sending files back and forth, the files have to be Adobe files either for collaboration or for text amendments… If you are a freelancer and work for any company, they will want Adobe files from you (I’m sure there is an exception somewhere). None of this is threatened. If companies don’t care, Adobe will go with it. Nobody will switch. Especially because there isn’t really anything to switch to. Not realistically.
