Someone reminded me it's time to post some alternatives to Adobe software:

@golgaloth Hi. The list has evolved in text format for those who prefer not using an OCR to understand this great picture : https://github.com/KenneyNL/Adobe-Alternatives

@gamolf_dev @golgaloth speaking of which, does anyone know of any tutorials for actually doing motion graphics with Blender?

Cause I've seen people recommend it for that but then not actually have any idea how to do it or where to even point people who wanna learn to, I've never been able to get a proper answer so I'm left with "just learn the entirety of Blender lmao"

@golgaloth I'd like to add to the list for Animate alternatives. It's about the only reasonable editor for scalable web animations I could find: https://glaxnimate.mattbas.org/

@golgaloth Blender is also a solid Video Editor with composition and tracking etc so it shall be added to PR

@golgaloth Do any of the Substance Painter alternatives have support for existing Substance files, similar to how Gimp can read PSDs?

@golgaloth GIMP is a great open source program for photography.

@golgaloth Very nice list and graphics! While QuarkXpress is a real alternative, it lost a lot of its popularity 15 years ago. Maybe they are still big in some areas of the world, but I doubt it will rise to the top globally anytime soon 😊

@golgaloth It's so sad that while most of these tools have amazing feature sets, their UI is often strange. If you know what you're doing, you can certainly use them just as effectively and efficiently as their Adobe counterparts but coming from the outside, many of them feel entirely foreign, even for someone with experience in equivalent tools. I hope some of them will follow in Blender's footsteps which got a lot more usable (and popular) with the 2.80 UI/UX overhaul.

@golgaloth A few more macOS exclusive Lightingroom alternatives: Photomator (subscription), RAW Power (one time purchase), Nitro (choice between one time and subscription). Affinity Photo is also okay-ish and has support for RAW editing

@golgaloth

There are some FOSS PDF tools out there, but they tend to be fairly single-purpose, whereas Acrobat is more of a Swiss Army knife of PDFs.

Consider:

Awesome stuff! Thank you so much.

@argv_minus_one @golgaloth also, on MacOS the built-in Preview app can do most of these light PDF edits

@golgaloth is this posted online anywhere?

@polotek The Github is a little more up to date:

failedLyndonLaRouchite,

@golgaloth

I don't know much, at all, about this sort of stuff, but over the last 20 years, it has been more or less a constant that GIMP has a horrible user interface that is a nightmare

@failedLyndonLaRouchite Actually, not that bad, these days. You can even custom make your own docks.

@golgaloth Hey, can I share this image as is in some CGI groups on Telegram?

Or do you prefer a link to your post?

golgaloth,
@golgaloth@writing.exchange avatar

@jupiter This infographic was generated by @XdanielArt, a few years ago, now. I'm just re-sharing. The point of this info is to be shared, so go ahead.

@golgaloth Isn't Natron dead though?

@delegatevoid It's an older List, but it still (mostly) checks out.
