It’s not enough to be angry. You have to fight back.

I’m proud to give $1 every month to Inkscape and Gimp.

Imagine if only 1% of users did that.

Just 1% of people giving $1 a month can change the world.

      GIMP has scripting support, but you shouldn’t expect to just import a Photoshop action and expect it to work, you’d probably need to tweak it.

    Adobe id in the list of companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, and more. The world would be an actual better place I’d they’d just disappear

    I’ve had my feature requests added to both Inkscape and Gimp. I doubt if Adobe devs will ever listen to you.
    For my photography, I could get results in Gimp equal or sometimes better than Photoshop. But now Gimp 3 adds productivity features to make it fast too. And using it with DigiKam and RawTherapee means a top notch workflow too.

    And this is why I registered once with a disposable debit card. Fuck you, Adobe.

      Free but not open source and could be taken away at any point. Gimp is a much safer bet.

      They sell you a yearly subscription but with monthly payments, then require you to finish paying for the whole year if you cancel early. It is a bit discounted from the actual monthly plan and selected by default.

      And they have shitty UX that doesn’t make this blatantly obvious, hence all the people who have issues with this.

        It’s definitely not a shitty UX, it’s dark patterns, deliberate made to confuse.

          TBF I looked at it recently-ish and it isn’t that bad. The shitty part is that it’s the default and a bit non-typical, but it’s still a fairly normal “select from these 3 options with the most profitable for us selected by default”.

    moved over to gimp lately, just a ton of reassigning shortcuts and it works about the same as PS…

    inkscape though, some files I deal with have half a bajillion vectors and it just can NOT handle it (unless I want to wait 20s every time I move something). would really like to get off adobe but, gonna have to keep illustrator for now…

      You shouldn’t be using vector graphics if you have bajillion of vectors either way. I have giant sheets of inkscape documents with thousands of shapes that work well, the issues arise when people blindly convert raster to vector and try to use that vomit as vector graphics.

        let me know when you can convince nemetschek to make vectorworks output PDFs in any other way… considering they’re unfortunately leaning hard into AI bullshit in their software I doubt that’s getting addressed anytime soon
