Adobe already killed almost all competition in the creative space and I hate that. I’m thankful for software like Davinci Resolve and the Affinity apps.
I wish we can get a Krita, Inkscape, GIMP ecosystem that rivals their offerings. I recommend these tools to most of my students (gamedev) because they’re already great, but if they wanna work in this area in industry they’re also forced to learn Adobe…
The image generation algorithm is open source and it runs locally. Artists can use it instead of giving up their art to some company to abuse. We’ve had tools like this for years, this is just better and easier to use
Kdenlive is also a really cool video editor. I use it occasionally. You don’t see many professionals using it but honestly it can do a lot more than what most people give it credit for.
Tried it. Personally, didn’t really work for me. Blender is great 3D software, but video editing is not its forte. (And that’s fine! Do one thing and do it well.)
Adobe should have Never been allowed to buy Macromedia, what a massive crime that was. I had fully shifted off all Adobe products and was using Macromedia for everything… then that happened. Its all been downhill since that.

Recently learned about Krita too, which is more for art but it’s nice
There’s a plugin for AI generation now
I didn’t know they had AI generation now, I need to use it again. I haven’t had a project that needed it for a bit.

Really cool idea, I hope this gains traction!

There’s also GIMP as a Photoshop alternative
And Dark Table as a Lightroom alternative
Both are pretty great IMO
Capture One is not foss but fucking great
Krita is a lot better than Gimp if you need a PS alternative
Oh, I used to like Krita. That’s disappointing that they’re yet another on the AI train
Why though?

Artists are a bit tetchy about their stuff being used for the training data.
Obligatory shout out to Blender, the most amazing community project ever. And GPL’d to boot! Suck it Adobe! obscene crotch tugging gestures

Blender has a video editor in it too… hell Im surprised it doesnt have a full photo editing suit in it at this point

I wouldnt call it amazing compared to Davinci Resolve for example, but for smaller fast jobs its pretty good and very versatile.
I honestly preferred Kdenlive over Davinci Resolve, I had too many problems with it (although tbf, I am running Linux, so…)

You just made me remember Dreamweaver. Moving to DW from FrontPage felt like moving to IntelliJ Idea from Eclipse.
