I knew this shit was going to happen the moment they moved to this "cloud" and "subscription" shit. Never trust subscription models!
madamehelgaSP
And avoid SaaS in general..
steikewaffel
2005 called, they want their alternative to adobe list back.
inquisitivefluff
aahz812
Yea, use Gimp for a real job and then tell me its like photoshop
LievenDV
Cmon, gimp is crap and we all know that. That UI is Made by developers, not ux’ers
RaisinZetaJones
Fucking Canva for InDesign? What the hell?
imthatguyhere
Blender instead of Flash? Is this person high? What a terrible list.
ninetenduh
There is no Free Alternative that can even Compare to Photoshop. Gimp is cool and all but not a replacement.
MackenzieBowen
Wait a sec, Adobe products aren't free? That's weird... /s
PocketVist
I would recommend toon boom harmony, super cheap, free tutorial on their website on everything, even drawing and super user friendly
corvandus
Darktable is an excellent RAW processor, if Lightroom is your jam. Krita is a great painting application, and Mischief for vectors.
rubenfasola7
I though i was the only one who knew about darktable
wyatt8740
Yeah I was disappointed no one was mentioning darktable. I've been using it for raws from my phone and my DSLR's for years
KarsonMadden
Forgot affinity. Photoshop and illustrator replacement.
Nuggetti
Audacity ain't good for much though, go for Reaper.
CaptSchmidtGaming
dont most people just pirate where needed these days?

Or if you want to use Adobe but cant afford it you can set sail on the seven seas.
GregHitchcock
Paint dot net? You want me to paint instead of paying $17 a month for Lightroom?
Rogahar
If you want to combine 1 and 2, Clip Studio is cheaper by far than anything Adobe and a one time payment.
Rogahar
Not free, granted, but still.
divinexspirit
Yes, and they often have a 50% off sale for anyone who sees this and wants to look into it as an option. Great program for artwork/editting.
MrZev
Dreamweaver lololololol
AaronPaulSturtevant
and wordpress as an alternative. ahahahahah. robs every last bit of credibility from the list.
SoulRetriever
Blender is one of the most confusing programs known to man, how anyone uses it baffles me
AaronPaulSturtevant
i installed that back in the day, when i was making maps for half life. i was used to unintuitive UX, but blender was just unusable for me.
yzark01
The new version overgauled the ui to be supposedly fairly intuitive but im so used to the old version i cant use it
lIIlIIl
photopea for photoshop, gravit for illustrator
someguy7734206
Several people have mentioned Photopea. I'll definitely have to check that out.
kojenk
Any good gif editors out there?
DanielHall84
This made it to the front page MONTHS ago and in TEXT format. Fuck you and fuck your shitty lazy image.
SubtleOrc
Affinity Pro instead of Photoshop
PanicSona
This.
ran93r
The whole Affinity suite is pretty damn good, especially considering the price.
ThatTransformersDude
Yea you're getting something more refined in usability with affinity over the free products. I mean you get what you pay for.
TotallyNotDitto
.
razmann
i've been meaning to get that. i'll have to remember to get it after work today
NotWavingDrowning
Hell even Picsart will do the job on your mobile
literallymike
Seriously - I am duly impressed.
PinkTop
Affinity all day, and the new publisher is tops
SubtleOrc
Waiting for their Lightroom replacement for proper image cataloguing
carstenc
Paint.net is great, but it is no substitute for Lightroom.
DakianDelomast
It's not free, but it's also not a subscription, DxO is serving me well
EyesOnThePies
None of these really are. Guess I'll be sticking to piracy.
AlbatrossRaptorGoulash
RawTherapee is a pretty good replacement.
QuestionTwice
Time to hit the high seas. Arrg!
RepInt
To be fair, with the right plug-ins you can accomplish a lot, but I get your point
entillandersson
CaptureOne? Or are you looking for free stuff?
JHawke
I'm no imagey person, so this is just me repeating others. But supposedly darkroom is.
nzgeek
Been there, attempted that. Darktable tries, but it isn't really a proper substitute for Lightroom.
JHawke
Seems to be sufficient for lots and lots of people to not pay a completely ridiculous subscription to adobe.
fnurglbhurg
Good for them, and it's getting better. I try it from time to time, but the entire workflow including mobile-pc sync isn't there.
fnurglbhurg
On longer trips and sessions it's well worth the cost of CC Photography in saved time only. I can sort through and have most work done...
rubenfasola7
Darktable is damn good, but it's harder to use and on windows is quite unstable, on linux is very stable tho
dasklaus
As a lightroom veteran, I've tried using it and found none of the familiar tools, did not understand the workflow, failed hard at that.
thoushaltnotpass
I started with darktable, I feel comfortable with it. I find it working quite well on windows though.
aiuta219
This may be more a matter of you being so used to Adobe that you have trouble adapting.
dasklaus
That's exactly what I'm saying. I tried several times, I just don't get it. I have trouble finding out the simplest things (how do I export?
aiuta219
I've never had a problem with the tools I use but after finally trying Lightroom I can't believe people pay for it.
0rbital
Capture1 has a free version too, and that's a direct competitor
twsx
None of these are adequate replacements. They're good! Amazing even for free software, but just not as good as the shitty-overpriced stuff.
dunewolf
Audacity for audio files is damn good software.. Way better then many others I tried to use.
RaisinZetaJones
I'm blown away at the thought of using fucking Canva as an alternative to InDesign.
Wolfos
Blender is. Well, not as an After Effects replacement, but they're seriously challenging Autodesk now.
Raikupath
The school I'll go to changed from Maya to Blender. As a blender user I was really excited when I found out.
dasklaus
To be fair, if you've learned anything else but Blender, it's a pain to learn.
Wolfos
That goes for other software as well, though. 3D software is complicated and takes a long time to learn.
dasklaus
True. But the switch from Maya to Cinema4D or 3DStudio Max is supposedly easier. I've only ever used Blender.
Corrosion
I learned 3DS years ago when I was a student. Using it every day for 3 years set things in me and I don't think I'll ever understand blender
BenSnow97
Not with 2.8. Check it out, it's a huge upgrade, and its official release is tomorrow.
Lanka
Bought couple of tutorials for low-poly&animation. Not least because they were for the 2.8. Sloowly finding my motivation to learn from onl.
ihateimgurffs
Has the same issue as any other open source program: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qSTcxt2t74
Wolfos
The issue being?
ihateimgurffs
Horrible UI and shortcuts. Watch the video, it is from the official blender meetup, it is hilarious.
BenSnow97
Have you tried Blender 2.8?

What if I need to read this shit but its tiny and bold pink on black?

OMFGWhatHaveWeDONE
Enhanced using photoshop:
houtaku
Unravelled
taptaptaptaptap
Instead of PHOTOSHOP, try GIMP
BobbyVegana
Do i have to use a gimp suit for using it?
OMFGWhatHaveWeDONE
+1 for GIMP
ZackPizzazz
It’s just an inverted image. You can do that on your phone.
OMFGWhatHaveWeDONE
Inverted, then color balanced, then sharpened... but yeah.
Dispatch
Nice.
wyatt8740
Better enhancements, using waifu2x and gimp![]()
OMFGWhatHaveWeDONE
+1!
pareidoliaperson
Best
wyatt8740
waifu2x is intended for upscaling cartoon/comic art, but it also has a jpeg denoiser that works pretty well
BobbyVegana
You had me at waifu
BeesKneesJohanson
Is it truly using photoshop? Because if so, that’s fantastic.
StrongNuclearHorse
well, yeah. if you need photoshop to enhance an image, you don't need photoshop.
OMFGWhatHaveWeDONE
So true.

magicrhombus
Considerably less of a good idea if you're using the software for work, though.
dynamicvelocity
I'm almost certain that adobe's court costs can be paid in "exposure".
Gantzz321
if you are using it for work then it is a work tool and can be written off in taxes and should be purchased legally
alvinthatsme
Arghh
ProbablyHolly
As do we all good sir. TV and movies too.
ComcastLover
I stopped pirating games and software when I got a job. Just seemed like less of a hassle to not have to deal with cracks and such.
zykelator
Sad thing is that evne when paying, you cant get most shit you want legally
iliketosaysomethingandthenjustbanana
I just search for the cheapest price for games, which are usually 1 to 5 euro's. When they are 30-50 euro's when you buy directly on steam.
mitharas
I think steam for games, spotify for music and the discovery of enough alternatives for other stuff made pirating obsolete. At least for me.
ASquare
Yeah. Or just like. Not stealing someone’s work.
KronaSamu
Ah yes, stealing is totally a legitimate alternative. How does it feel like to go through life with zero integrity?
Gantzz321
Adobe, Microsoft etc are doing just fine, if us pirates did not use their products odds are the companies we work for would not buy them
Yprox5
How does it feel to go through life blinded by the fact that you're getting ripped off.
KronaSamu
Your not getting ripped off. Adobe products are a fair price. If you don't like it, use other software
MisterDingDong
Feels actually quite ok. But let me ask you, who stirred your meal before you could take an insta photo?
sc363
F U?
Yariku
Feels pretty good honestly. I dunno what responses you were expecting but I’m sure your local police dept will give you a gold star, champ.
MisterDingDong
Just upvoted to give that comment a healthy 6/6 balance :D ...also, funny
SavageDrums
Piracy != theft. The software is not taken from someone, it is copied.
KronaSamu
Also, how is it fair that you don't have to pay, but I do? Or do you think everyone should be allowed to pirate?
KronaSamu
No that's. It how it works. Just because you want it to be that way,doesn't make it
KronaSamu
Typical of a stupid criminal to not understand the complexity of an issue because they want to stay ignorant to shelter themselves #1
KronaSamu
From any kind of responsibility. You're nothing but an entitled hypocrite
analnipple666
Buddy, it's a computer program, it's not life or death.
myimor
It's just theft, having people work and not pay them. Nbd
analnipple666
Some of these companies (Adobe in this case) make such a shit ton of money and the creators have been paid already.
MistaNasty
They've already been paid. You're just pinching pennies from an executives mega yacht fund...
KronaSamu
No. Less than 1% will ever make it to an executive. The rest goes to pay employees and coats you prick
myimor
Today I learned the only people getting paid at Adobe are the executives. The programmers are all fired on product release dates.
