Comment on Epic Games to update Unreal Engine pricing for devs not making games

  Affinity Photo is $60 once and you own it forever, with free updates. It's pretty much the only actually good Photoshop replacement.

    GIMP is free and also doubles as a way to express just how much I hate myself!

    Free minor updates. And if you buy it a month before a major version update, you get nothing. Ask me how I know :/.

    Photopea is free and in browser as well

    • Buddahriffic@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Being a browser app is not a plus imo. I’ll take a snappy native app over easy portability every day.

    They need to do a LR replacement, then I'll just switch to Affinity.

      Darktable is an excellent replacement

        I'll try it again, but several years ago when I tried it I didn't find it as good.

    Photography plan should still be US$10 for both PS and LR.

      That’s not what I see.

        Eh, would you prefer that to be US$20 each instead? Why are you ideologically opposed to something when there are benefits?

    Yeh, I use 4 applications from Adobe in very limited amounts. I wish they did a pay as you use subscription! If you use them all every day it’s cheap, but I maybe use them about 10-15 hours per month at the most.

        Traditional I would be working on a freelance basis with companies and teams that would only use adobe, and wanted files in those formats. Though as I’m doing more and more of work just for myself the alternatives are getting more tempting.

    I have the $10 plan.

• TwilightVulpine@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

  Americans will talk of $10 a month like it’s chump change. It’s more expensive than my water bill.

  Now add every other tool that decides to take the same approach.

  • Wahots@pawb.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    $10 is also more expensive than my water bill in the US*. I purposely have as few subscriptions as possible.

    *other utility bills are higher though, like sewer capacity, which is $17/mo.

  • panja@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    If you’re using photoshop in a business or hobby capacity, $10/month is a fairly good deal.

    I personally use Affinity Photo but I’m not going to pretend that it has feature parity with photoshop.

      Paying forever is not a better deal than paying the price of a few months of use and then having it for years. Maybe a business can justify that, but for a hobby? No way.

        Maybe a business can justify that, but for a hobby? No way.

        Hobbyists CAN and DO get the $10/mo plan. It’s cheaper than most streaming services and if it’s a part of your workflow (as a hobby photographer, for example) then $10/month for a constantly updated software is a good deal.

        Like if you don’t value photoshop at $10/month that’s okay but A LOT of people do.

        Paying forever is not a better deal

        I just ran into the not forever issue when I had to re-buy Affinity photo to get the newest version.
