Those reasons being stealing people's work for AI garbage.
Fuck Photoshop. Use Gimp and/or Krita.
Don’t forget Inkscape!!!!
Inkscape is amazing for vector editing

Krita

GIMP

And what about Paint.Net?
Unfortunately, neither are good replacements for professional work.
I use all 3 for professional work. Might not be good for your job but it's been great for mine.
when was the last time you tried krita AI?
I use Krita professionally on a daily basis, it's fantastic. It has some rough edges but absolutely nothing that prevents you from having work done. It also beats the Adobe suite hands down when it comes to ergonomy, and the performance with big files is really good (I work on formats up to 14k*7k for print, no issues).
This is good to hear. Thank you. I will give it another look. Adobe needs to be dissolved in a vat of acid.
Yes it does ! I feel bitter because it's such a waste of good engineering. I'd love it if all these developers just migrated to FOSS projects. I'm sure with the right communication you could secure crowd funding and let Adobe be a thing of the past
Any good recommendations for replacing Lightroom? I once tried Luminar but it's extremely sluggish.
Darktable is one of the foss apps that actually is almost as good as the Adobe app. In many ways I like it better. https://www.darktable.org/
Thanks, I'll give it a go! How's the denoiser in the software? I've really grown fond of LR's "ai" denoiser. For the most part, ai is bullshit. But it does wonders for denoising. I suppose there are some good standalone applications for that, right? Photography is just a hobby, so I don't really know much about these things.
I haven't used the ai denoiser but the noise reduction in Darktable seems decent to me, has lot's of options. I am pretty new to raw image manipulation so maybe I'm missing something I don't know about but it seems fine?
