#Adobe just raised its prices, some are over US$100 a month 😬

Stop paying rent on your tools, switch to #FOSS alternatives:

➡️ @kdenlive - Video editing

➡️ @ardour - Digital audio workstation

➡️ @tenacity - Audio editing

➡️ @Blender (main) & @[email protected] (videos) - 3D animation & video effects

➡️ @Krita (main) & @[email protected] (videos) - Painting & illustration

➡️ @inkscape - Vector drawing

➡️ @darktable - Organise & develop raw photos

➡️ @www.scribus.net.news - Desktop publishing (feed)

I just want to thank you for all those accounts you mentioned. I followed them all. Beside they are cool alternative but we really need a alternative for photoshop. Something at least of photopea's level. GIMP isn't that much good.

@tasinone I'm a fan of #Krita for raster graphics editing. is there a particular feature or workflow that you need your Photoshop replacement to have?

@candidexmedia yes, like crop, image resize, remove background, draw shape, select object, etc. I never tried to learn it as it is mainly for drawing, but I am seeing many people talking about it. So first I am gonna try YouTub,e then if I need help I will message you. Thank you for wanting to help me

@tasinone Amazing! Most of what you listed is possible, although, #Krita doesn't have a background remover out of the box.

There's a G'MIC integration built-in which can do it (although it's kind of meh), and these new third-party plugins:

https://github.com/Acly/krita-vision-tools (tried it recently: https://mastodon.design/@candidexmedia/114566530590949824)

https://github.com/agoulddesign/krita-bg-remove-bria (haven't tried yet)

In any case, I have a long list of free background removers that I like to use instead, so feel free to @ me if you have any questions.

GitHub - Acly/krita-vision-tools: Krita plugin which adds selection tools to mask objects with a single click, or by drawing a bounding box.
