Unfortunately as someone who uses Adobe programs for work, the FLOSS alternatives are just not there yet :/ (especially considering how seamlessly Adobe programs work together) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) My partner is a graphic designer and although she undeniably had some growing pains switching away from Adobe, she hasn't looked back. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] kazerniel@lemmy.world 1 point 1 year ago (1 child) Thanks, that's interesting to hear! Can I ask what sort of graphic design she does? My work primarily involves CMYK publications made in InDesign, using graphics made in Illustrator and Photoshop. So inter-operability and compatibility with professional CMYK printing are key for my needs. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) She also worked with Photoshop and Illustrator. She does many things. Freelance design work for people, as well advertising design for her work.

This didn't make me buy Photoshop, it just made me use something else. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] podperson@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago I dumped Adobe completely several years ago, and found that Pixelmator has been an excellent Photoshop replacement. It even now does vector images - used to use an app called Graphic for that (for an Illustrator replacement), but should now be able to do all of that from Pixelmator. permalink fedilink source parent [–] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago I had a legit copy of CS6 for my windows computer, then switched to Mac and was unable to get a copy for it so I kept my windows laptop around for graphic design. It died and now I use Affinity on my Mac and iPad. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago Yeah, I used Adobe CS3 on the Mac for a very long time, because I may have had the activation key for my college's site license... That never gave me any trouble. But using other keys or cracks, a real pain in the ass. permalink fedilink source parent [–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago Top meme permalink fedilink source parent [–] someguy3@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago Had me at the first 1/10th. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Mossheart@lemmy.ca 1 point 1 year ago (2 children) Any Lightroom classic alternative? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) In the theme of above lightroom classic (cracked) Otherwise not really. You're looking at digiKam for the library management side and either RawTherapee or Darktable for editing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Exec@pawb.social 1 point 1 year ago I just couldn't get used to how the UI of Darktable works. Rawtherapee is somewhat nice, usable at least. I'll check out digikam, I do have a problem with organisation. permalink fedilink source parent [–] yopyop@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago Rawtherapee or darktable for example. permalink fedilink source parent
