Kreative Suite
* Krita is your new design/painting app
* Kdenlive will give you video-editing powers
* glaxnimate adds 2D vector animations to you videos
* digiKam organises your collection images
https://kde.org/for/creators/
Also:
* Inkscape - create sophisticated vector-graphic designs
* Scribus - layout like a pro
* GIMP - need we say more
* Blender - ditto
God damn Adobe... we know you are bad but not THAT bad.
What happened?
They updated their TOS to say they can access and review anything you create on their products: https://80.lv/articles/people-aren-t-happy-with-adobe-s-spyware-like-terms-of-service-update/
and censor and re-use and use to train their AI... Basically they own your art.
Edit: That said, most predictable scummy move of Adobe's long history of scummy moves.
And the product director is openly lying about it:
It's either that, or their lawyers decided to put that in without asking him? There needs to be some serious legislation for when companies try to pull this off
In other words, Adobe is now fundamentally unsuitable for commercial use.
Locked a bunch of the production industry/creatives/graphic artists/etc. completely out of creative cloud and all of its apps until they signed a new TOS. They gave no heads up about it and basically it lets them use all your media however they want, super invasive stuff.
Two months ago I convinced my company to switch over to Da Vinci resolve and I am never going back. It is objectively the better tool in every regard for video editing. The only thing I will miss from Adobe is their audio enhance tool, but we will survive lol
Good job. I already switched to Affinity for photo editing & design because they don't have a subscription model, though they've been bought by a company that plans to introduce the subscription model.
Black magic design has proven themselves a pretty capable, reasonable, mostly consumer friendly company for a good decade now. I feel safe for now. But always gotta be on the lookout!
@DmMacniel @kde every publicly traded corporation, or corporation effectively controlled by one, will always do the worst thing they can get away with
