PhotoPea is amazing. Zero install edit/create photoshop compatible files. I'm just afraid to invest time in it only to have it pulled since it is not open sour

  You can export your files to PSD format (among others) any time. Even if it's pulled, you don't lose your work.

    It's more about learning to use the tool fluently.

      It's almost the same as photoshop, what's there to learn?
• freedomben 3y ago
  Same. PhotoPea going open source would be absolutely amazing. I'd love to see it released AGPL, but I'm guessing that isn't likely to happen.

  Yep. It’s nearly a perfect product, but it’s a complete nonstarter for me because it’s not open source. I’ll happily stick with GIMP because of that.

    You've decided that for a product to be usable it has to be open source?

      Yes, whenever possible.

        Isn't there a lot of value between possible and good in terms of productivity or appeal when picking any tools though? There are plenty of tools I do use that are open source and free, but for a fair price and suitable value proposition, I'm going to pick something that I'll get the investment return from regardless of whether it's open source or not

  It's been around for quite a while, this doesn't seem like a productive fear
