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 👌
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.
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.
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.
