I wish you a beautiful downfall Abode
My guess is that Canva and Figma are 90% of the reason why people are no longer confident in Adobe as a company.
Figma-balls xD gottem
(I have no idea what these are plz explain)
Figma is a vector drawing app that was originally for UX design (an Adobe XD competitor), but they just added a bunch of graphic design tools that compete with Adobe Illustrator.
Canva does a lot of raster and vector image editing that originally targeted people that were not design pros, but they’ve been adding a lot of features that allow people to make some professional quality stuff stuff with ease.
All in all, both companies are growing into the spaces Adobe dominated. If you were a UX designer who needed to occasionally use Illustrator for a more detailed illustration, maybe you no longer need that Adobe CS license.
now we need a photoshop equivelent, and i mean all of photoshop’s features in one piece of software, not 3 combined
Affinity, Photopea, etc. There are a few.
Figma is a prototyping app to make semi interactive demos of user interfaces.
What’s good about it, is that it is really easy to export the desings to be used by a mobile developer - you drop the part where you build an interface out of pictures, it is the interface from the start.
Canva and Figma are 90% of the reason
How long before Adobe buys them… they did it macromedia and all their other competitors. Anti-trust laws, if they were working, would have shut down Abobe decades ago.
They tried to buy Figma and failed due to anti monopoly legislation
Holy shit I can’t believe that kind of consumer protection still exists in the US
IIRC it was the British regulator that blocked it. The EU and eventually US ones issued similar statements following the UK block and then the deal was abandoned
They tried to buy Figma, but getting past the regulators was too hard. It was clearly a play to monopolize UX design just like the did with graphic design.
But there are just so many good reasons!
Still too high!
Adobe’s name is mud right now.
die fast and take your stupid ai suggestions to the grave with you
I have never had any reason to use any of Adobe’s stuff other than acrobat.
Having used 2 competitors extensively at work, Bluebeam and PDF X-Change (and the free version of 1 of those, PDF X-Change, at home), it’s not even close.
Acrobat is so much worse, and they came up with the format.
It’s embarrassing.
invest in wings!
