Adobe was sued today in another class action about its subscription practices. Plaintiffs claim Adobe intentionally lied to consumers and charged them expensive early termination fees. (storage.courtlistener.com)

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.

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

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.

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.

Free Photoshop, same controls and all.

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

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

How on earth are their cancellation fees. Don't you pay before each "season"?

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 1 points 2 weeks ago

I use GIMP a little bit. How do you donate?

[-] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 2 weeks ago

There is a donate link on their website.

Is there an alternative to PS that uses actions?

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

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.
