Photoshop's newest terms of service has users agree to allow Adobe access to their active projects for the purposes of "content moderation" and other various reasons. This has caused concern among…
I use Krita professionally on a daily basis, it’s fantastic. It has some rough edges but absolutely nothing that prevents you from having work done. It also beats the Adobe suite hands down when it comes to ergonomy, and the performance with big files is really good (I work on formats up to 14k*7k for print, no issues).
Yes it does ! I feel bitter because it’s such a waste of good engineering. I’d love it if all these developers just migrated to FOSS projects. I’m sure with the right communication you could secure crowd funding and let Adobe be a thing of the past
Thanks, I’ll give it a go! How’s the denoiser in the software? I’ve really grown fond of LR’s “ai” denoiser. For the most part, ai is bullshit. But it does wonders for denoising. I suppose there are some good standalone applications for that, right? Photography is just a hobby, so I don’t really know much about these things.
I haven’t used the ai denoiser but the noise reduction in Darktable seems decent to me, has lot’s of options. I am pretty new to raw image manipulation so maybe I’m missing something I don’t know about but it seems fine?
Those reasons being stealing people’s work for AI garbage.
Fuck Photoshop. Use Gimp and/or Krita.
Unfortunately, neither are good replacements for professional work.

This is good to hear. Thank you. I will give it another look. Adobe needs to be dissolved in a vat of acid.

GIMP

Any good recommendations for replacing Lightroom? I once tried Luminar but it’s extremely sluggish.
Darktable is one of the foss apps that actually is almost as good as the Adobe app. In many ways I like it better. https://www.darktable.org/
