That's absolutely it. All it takes is one or two decent jobs and you've paid for your Creative Suite. It's a lot of money overall, but not as much as it appears when you're new to it all.
It's a little regrettable that Adobe maintains so much control over the market, but as a creative professional myself, I can't find much that can actually compete with their software, especially for the price.
- klibertp 14y ago> especially for the price. Honestly curious - was money not an issue would you be able to find something better? Is Photoshop and the likes from Adobe truly "high-end" or is there something less popular, more expensive, perhaps harder but "better": technically, in it's capabilities?
- FredFredrickson 14y agoShadowmint touched on what I meant by that - other companies make creative software which doesn't directly compete with Adobe's lineup, but which costs 2x - 4x more. As someone who uses this software and occasionally tries the alternatives, I would say that there isn't really anything better out there than Adobe software. But it's also quite affordable when you put it in perspective with how much you can do with it over time.
- shadowmint 14y agoThe Autodesk creative tools (Maya, Inferno, Smoke, etc.) probably fit the 'more complex and used in big creative industry, super expensive' ticket that you're looking for. Don't think there's really a replacement for photoshop though. The autodesk tools are more to replace the After Effects / Premier / etc. parts of the creative suite.
- dragonbonheur 14y agoThere's Serif software. Although for Flash there's really no other option. Synfig and other free flash tools don't do rotation.
