If you feel disheartened by Adobe's news today πŸ˜”πŸ’”

I know change can be hard but
I would love to point you to a couple of great alternatives you will get used to in no time:

Replace Photoshop with -> @Krita πŸ–ŒοΈ

Replace Illustrator with -> @inkscape πŸ–‹οΈ

Why? Because of this: https://appleinsider.com/articles/24/06/06/adobes-new-terms-of-service-unacceptably-gives-them-access-to-all-of-your-projects-for-free

If you know any other great
Adobe software replacements,
please list them below to help others πŸ‘‡

Adobe's ToS changes could be an AI overreach on user data

A new and mandatory terms of service approval for Adobe Creative Cloud requires users agree to the company getting free access to users' projects, for whatever they want to do with it. That's unacceptable.

@Em0nM4stodon @ XdanielArt put together this great list of Adobe alternatives. Some are free and some are not. I have not used them and can't vouch for the quality, but I'm sure each has reviews online.

@jamesmarshall @Em0nM4stodon Because it's in the top-left corner where people will see it first, ignore "Glimpse" as the GiMP fork. Not only is it no longer developed, the website has been taken over by a redirect to a malware site. Stick with the OG(iMP).

@jamesmarshall @Em0nM4stodon I can personally vouch for DaVinci resolve.

23 years of editing and is one of my favorite NLE programs to work with .

also it works on Linux not just Mac OS And Windows

@Warlockofwires @jamesmarshall @Em0nM4stodon I'll second that. Been video editing off and on for years and I've tried a whole bunch of different video editors and DaVinci is just perfect. I've just found it so intuitive and I've never looked at a single guide or manual. It's always a case of "I want to do this, well I imagine it'll be in this part of the program", and that's almost always correct.

Big Davinci fan here too. Has been a huge part of our success in switching from stills to video.

@ewen @jamesmarshall @Em0nM4stodon I spend 17 years of my life on FCP. Did not want to learn FCPX.
And when I saw the path that adobe was going down last decade I decided to find a new program that would work on all three major operating systems so I wouldn't paint myself into a corner..

It took a few weeks of getting used to the new workflow versus Final Cut 7 .. but after that is was amazing.

@jamesmarshall @Em0nM4stodon The Lightroom section is missing Photomator as a suggestion. I've been using it for more than a year and am quite fond of it. #Photomator #Lightroom #PhotoEditing #Photography #AppRecommendation #EditingTools

I think it's not up to date

@jamesmarshall @Em0nM4stodon interesting to see Krita not listed as an option for photo editing. It's at least as capable at the task as PSP or Paint.Net, which are both listed, even though it doesn't tout itself primarily as a photo editor.
