Just tried the 7 day free trial of Photoshop and deleted it like 10 minutes later because it was so awful. Here are some highlights:
- AI, so much AI.
- Advertising, so much advertising.
- Why yes we steal your data.
- $40 a month for the cheapest option.
- "If you cancel your subscription you will no longer be able to use Photoshop. No, there is no way to own the product outright.
- Why yes we will include a bunch of programs and cloud services that you don’t want and will never use. No, there is no plan that is just Photoshop.
- Sign in to your Adobe account to uninstall.
Krita is good. I have no idea if it’s an appropriate replacement for all or most of Photoshop’s use cases, but it’s been a pretty damn good replacement for frozen-in-development-hell-for-a-quarter-century-and-desperately-needs-a-new-name Gimp.
I have gimp, but as someone that is used to paint.NET I find it so difficult to use.
paint .NET is the undisputed goat of intuitive meme editing software
I know there’s a Linux editing software that copied paint.net right down to the same exact UI, but I’m blanking on the name. And it’s not Krita/Gimp. I remember it was something else.
