- Adobe has announced pricing changes to its Creative Cloud subscriptions that will take effect from the middle of next month.
- It cited “continued innovation” as a reason to overhaul the pricing for its creative software suite.
- The changes only affect users in the US, Canada, and Mexico for now.
I would argue that the open source alternatives to much of adobe software suite is better and free so fuck Adobe
You would be wrong. There is nothing close to Photoshop and many others. Sadly that is the case.
I switched over to Affinity since 2019. I never saw any need to go back to Adobe.
Affinity is awesome, at least until Canva starts demanding a subscription model.
Photopea has been great, probably not the best for power users, but it’s basically a clone of the Photoshop UI.
Serif has entered the chat.
Edit: FYI every time you try to cancel your subscription they offer a year at $39.99 per month for a year. Last year I tried to cancel and they gave me that offer. At that price it’s a pretty good deal so I took it; well it just so happens that today that year was up and when I tried to cancel the offer popped up again. So i guess I’ll stay with them for another year.
Try affinity to replace photoshop it’s a one time cost and darktable for Lightroom it’s free.
After using Adobe CS6 for 10 years as refusing to upgrade to CC I switched to Mac and got the Affinity programs. Cost $50 for each of the Photoshop, Illustrator and Publisher equivalent programs with no monthly costs. Universal licensing across all platforms!
Also the developers are in Ukraine
We need Affinity Photo for Linux asap… Even on a VM both Affinity Photo and Affinity Photo 2 keep crashing for some reason…
Have you tried running it with Wine? No idea if it’ll work, just curious.
Yes, but it doesn’t even install properly. There’s a custom fork of Wine specifically for Affinity Photo and it works somewhat but it’s very slow and crashes a lot.
