For various reasons, my family is tied to a small number of programs that don't have 1:1 equivalents on Linux. So far nobody is willing to deal with the inconvenience of switching to alternatives. I'm trying my best to convert them, though.
If GIMP and Inkscape looked and felt closer to Photoshop and Illustrator, that would help greatly. Also, if I could find a good alternative to InDesign that wasn't tied to a cloud service or a subscription license.
Funny, I could never afford photoshop so I find GIMP much easier to get around in ๐. There used to be a GIMP plugin that changed everything to be like Photoshop, not sure if it still exists. But GIMP doesn't have feature parity with Photoshop, one of these days we'll be able to draw shapes.
Is InDesign not already a subscription service?
PhotoGIMP, and yeah it's still around.
Personally I tend to just use Krita for most photo-shoppy things since I find the interface nicer to use, but I have to admit gimp has been making some solid improvements lately.
Have you tried Krita as a photoshop replacement?
