Despite this not being FOSS like GIMP, I think it's great that there is at least some very viable alternative that can run on Linux even with some workaround, for free (besides Photopea).
Cool! Not libre, but it enables new category of people to comfortably transition to Linux. I can imagine the anger at Adobe 🤣
Is this better than GIMP?
Glimpse was actually a good alt to Photoshop which actually was just a refined UI for Gimp under the hood. The project halted after their maintainers decided to stop it. Last I recall, they were definitely open source. IDK which license they used but folks could probably fork it and continue the work there as well.
Just remember folks....if it's not open source, and you're not paying for the product, then you ARE the product. Likely a tracking nightmare.
Woah, I guess I'm almost two weeks behind on the news that Affinity is now free!
Don't get me wrong: the guide is awesome 🎉
My brain just keeps bringing up: Isn't that was Bottles is intended for? You can add "playbooks" /scripts to setup an application. Also Lutris has the tooling for that (even though they are gaming oriented).
Shouldn't it be possible to take the Bottles guide and shove it way up into... ahm.. Bottles?
i stuck with GIMP and its still number 1 for me :3
Fuck bending over backwards to accommodate them, they can do a Linux release or GTFO, does not have to be FOSS, just native
I used to use Affinity Publisher and Design all the time back when i was on Windows, now I just use Inkscape and Scribus
Years later, still trying to get my head around Lightroom changing to Darktable because DT is so much more powerful and Itm a fuckibg lazy idiot but that's Adobe.
https://graphite.rs/ is a free open source Photoshop alternative with great default shortcuts
Free Photoshop in a browser. Some modest ads, nothing intrusive. Ublock is stopping those for now. I'd be glad to pay for such fine software, maybe I'd pay the $5/mo. were I a pro.
Anyone know how this compares to Krita?
Not open source folks. Don’t fucking use this shite. They have shills all over Reddit and don’t like being called out on it.
Hey! How about side loading! Or maybe selling your personal information to Walmart?
Hmmm it looks like you could use green paint based on your recent Photoshop of your porch with that naked dude!
Or maybe it will send things like your favorite temperature level or music or sleeping patter or sex position to Farmers Insurance so they can charge you more!
I use Darktable and GIMP for my photography workflow. Its good but not great. Affinity is worth trying for me and probably many others. I've been on the cusp of loading a modified version of windows onto a machine. Hopefully this works
