I'm really glad to have this community back. I got some good advice for getting tools to download a less financially vampiric version of Adobe Photoshop and premiere.
If you don't need the advanced features of photoshop, paint.net is a good lightweight and free alternative. It has all the basic layer-based editing features.
Krita and photogimp also come pretty close :)
Photogimp? Is that like gimp for bitmap content?
It's a GIMP patch. OSS and all. You can find it here: https://github.com/Diolinux/PhotoGIMP
Nicee, will check that out when i'm next on my computer 👌
What I like about Photoshop is how much the program works for me. I had been using gimp before, but everything is done so manually. Photoshop does a good job detecting objects, and the quick select tool is so convenient. I will check out paint.net, but I like having software that does not require Internet as well.
My eternal wish has been for Paintnet to be on Linux. Pinta is pretty good but Paintnet is actually good.
Maybe one day GIMP 3 will come out
I unironically love your reply, because there are like 20 ways it can be read and replied to. That's a good one.
I've found CS6 has almost every feature you'd want and it's well over a decade old now. Much better in my mind than paying monthly for new features you won't probably use
You could also check out the Affinity suite of programs.
