Would you consider replacing the Adobe suite with other products?
- swatcoder 2y agoFor many graphics professionals, that's like asking if you'd consider replacing C++ with Rust. There's one answer you might provide when you've the luxury to start things over and ramp up on all the differences, but practical reality is that you rarely have that luxury. Fluency and confidence in the tools you already use provides strong resistance to switching, even if alternatives promise they're ready to meet your needs.
- Kenji 2y ago> For many graphics professionals, that's like asking if you'd consider replacing C++ with Rust. So, that's a yes?
- Wowfunhappy 2y agoImagine if no C++ compiler existed for your operating system. Even if most of the code you write is Rust, would you be able to use this operating system?
- BadHumans 2y agoI don't understand this analogy because every tool touted as a photoshop replacement supports PSD.
- Wowfunhappy 2y agoIME it doesn't work well enough for professional use.
- HaZeust 2y agoThe issue isn't file types; it's cloud collaboration.
- freeAgent 2y agoYes, I already have. Unfortunately, all the best tools for photography (my hobby) are Windows and Mac only. So I migrated to Mac. Linux is not an option because my software simply won’t run.
- moffkalast 2y agoMaybe one day Okular will finally enter the 21st century and start supporting signing pdfs with digital cert signatures and become a viable replacement.
- t0bia_s 2y agoIf you'll give me a proper alternative that can compete to Adobe and run natively on linux, sure. But there is none. Adobe dynamic link or After Effects do not have competition. Affinity don't work on linux.
- tym0 2y agoI have and sadly the Affinity suite doesn't run (without crashes) in Proton.
