hey at least they're containing it over in a weird project instead of submitting ai code to gimp

So now we get to see how AI holds up against the patent system, which doesn’t care who wrote what.

Aren't most of the people that are 'stuck' on Adobe stuck because they have a workflow that involves eg. full support for high-end digital cameras, asset management stuff like Bridge, full colour-matching support for high-end printing systems; and having it all work together well enough that it can reliably power media businesses from small to large? That's usually the functionality gaps that are not well-served by open-source alternatives, and what's allowing Adobe to price gouge and push unwelcome licenses through.

The issue is not that we don't have enough half-baked clones of the Photoshop UI where only half the buttons work. That kind of completely misunderstands why businesses are stuck on Adobe.

AI and developer don't belong in the same sentence

UI and feel wise, its good. Actually its shit most of the features are broken or half work. I cross my fingers it gets good and adobe tries to take action.

I hate AI slop, but I think I might hate Adobe more

'Software' won't be over, but reverse-engineering of EXPENSIVE programs is bound to affect how many get developed & sold!

I've been using Darktable and GIMP for my entirely free workflow with RAW images. I enjoy the tinkering. Will watch this with interest.

Software as a Slop

It's still slop, but potentially being used for good for once.
