when I see random folks sticking their mugs into the camera for the entirety of the video I just have the urge to close and block.

Tldw: this is how to pirate adobe

[–] easily3667@lemmus.org 3 points 1 day ago

Why do you need adobe when ai can make catgirl pictures automatically?

[–] WarlockoftheWoods@lemy.lol 23 points 1 day ago

I've been using gimp for years, love that shit.

....pirating them at all instead of learning Inkscape & Krita.

My one complaint is you can't export to PDF and it has no print function to use a PDF converter either..

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

That is a very specific thing you want to do. Maybe open an issue?

[–] MangoPenguin@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 18 hours ago

I don't know that it that specific, PDF is widely used for printing at least where I've ordered from.

Love krita. Swapped over to it completely myself. Still missing a lot of what makes photoshop so good, but it's very good on its own

Is gimp no longer recommended?

[–] sorrybookbroke@sh.itjust.works 4 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

Gimp is great for regular photo editing but when it comes to digital painting or drawing it lacks alot of the features needed. Krita isn't as good, I'd argue, at photo editing as gimp is however so both have their place

how I see it is what one intends to use the software for. for ones self, and for commision work, the other options are perfectly fine (and imo encouraged). the sole reason why someone would use the adobe products is if theyre looking to work in a company already using the suite, or they already just happen to have the skillset already in it, and switching would change workflow.

anyone learning from the start imo should consider the other options first.

I mean, this is kind of silly to say though. Don't support them, but if you're looking for a serious graphic design career, just learn Adobe suite, they share most of the same workflow so if you learn one or two you learn the basics of all of them.

You get to be versatile and hireable

Or Dont aupport them by using their software at all...

Crazy thought I know.

[–] Brumefey@sh.itjust.works 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Why the hate ? I pay less than 100 € per year for the subscription which is like 3 coffees per months and I have the basic plan with LR Classic, Photoshop, 20GB of online storage which is good to let me edit the shootings on my phone during the daily commute to work. Frequent updates and new features. It’s really worth the value. Even if their previous business model with perpetual licenses was better.

Struggling a bit to see how this story lends itself somehow to video. Is there a text based version of this?

[–] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 day ago

Go to r/genp on Reddit and read their guides. That's all that's happening on this video.
