Alternatives

Personally using Darktable. Will try RawTherapee and lanun Affinity photo. Lightroom is great because there's alots of presets online.

Used Audacity to mix some tunes/OSTs for a production. Its basic but works well.

Anyone else have tried alternatives?


inb4 ts bodo for using presets. Editing/cleaning 400+ raw files in one go is exhausting.

If its recorded on a phone, the built-in ones are more than fine for me. I use final cut on my iMac though.

I was tempted to subscribe to Adobe for my side projects, but I was afraid of bullshit like this.

Nowadays I use

drawing = Clip Studio Pro PC, one-time only pay
vector art = inkscape - free, Affinity Designer(PC, iOS, one-time pay)
image editing = GIMP

Some obscure high level functions still available on Adobe shit, but prosumer people like me have absolutely no use for them.

I'm shite at being creative/drawing. Had my hand in Gimp 10 years back. Never was good at it.

I actually have Resolve, claimed it in an email I saved. But FCP is noice.
Thank god I didn't delete my Lightroom. Got it free iinm

I wouldn't mind using free apps as long as the basic system isnt too far from Adobe's

I use resolve for work and had to learn fusion from scratch because of its node system instead of layers like in Ae, and looks like a clusterfuck because of merge nodes everywhere lol

Actually right, do one have a say in the industry? because most of these alternatives somehow short of what adobe cant deliver..

And Adobe is well know for ass when come to their fees.

Alternative is fine but not industrial standard. Imagine the nightmare dealing with vendors (printers) because you use some open source format instead of adobe.

Depends on which printing vendor you hire.

Ones I do still uses legacy PDF versions that GIMP already supports. Been printing business cards and flyers without any color mismatch, misalignment or bleed issues so far.

He got the annual package.
If he choose monthly package, more expensive but can opted out without penalty.

Well if they support, then that's great but most of them will blame at your files if the color doest match.

I wouldn't call them alternatives .... adobe is like EA of the art industry, ever since they stop 1 time payment product, their stupid plan fluctuate whenever they feel like, their "monthly subscription" don't give a shit if you have not touch their product in that month and those vampires don't even care if you loose or don't have business due to external or internal problem.

I use clip stuido paint, 1 time pay, get it during 50% discount, shit load of feature very very comfortable to use.

Get davinci resolve for video , audacity for audio ... the free and open source list are pretty accurate .... just avoid dracula at all cost.

That’s why don’t use Adobe. Their subscription service is a scam. If you need video editing software switch to final cut. 1 time payment and done deal with lifetime software support.

When ayam 2" time, before Adobe was popularized, my collage uses Coraldraw. I don't know how effective it is now, but I find it much more easier to use instead of adobe back then.

ayam using clip studio paint for painting
i can easily find cracks of it but its so useful for me i just buy it anyway. additional bonus of access to CSP store for brushes and materials
PRO version lah. No need the EX, those functions are more for mangaka/comic artist/animators, which for illustrators you dont really need them.
Used to use Medibang, while it is competent enough, there's quite a lot of useful features on CSP to make it worth it. eg: A key shortcut to switch to eyedropped layer, especially useful if you want to edit an accessory color layer and you have 100+ layers at the same time.

also have CSP for android, but my Tab S3 is a bit laggy for it, so i just use Medibang for portable drawing. CSP for mobiles are subs unfortunately

ayem think if wanna use PS for personal use, I'd just torrent the older standalone versions
no need to give money for subscription bullcrap dry.gif
Or just use GIMP.
Man I remember in 2011 or so, I hated the UI of the old GIMP. toolbars flying everywhere lol.

3D stuffs, I'm just using Blender. It's more than competent for learning.
2D mesh skeletal animation, I'm just using Creatures or Live2D
Audacity for simple audio editting (been using it for a long time, always handy)
