Obligatory shout out to Blender, the most amazing community project ever. And GPL’d to boot! Suck it Adobe! makes obscene crouch tugging gestures
Comment on Europe Commission says Adobe's $20B buy of Figma will kill competition
OrangeCorvus@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Adobe already killed almost all competition in the creative space and I hate that. I’m thankful for software like Davinci Resolve and the Affinity apps.

Kdenlive is also a really cool video editor. I use it occasionally. You don’t see many professionals using it but honestly it can do a lot more than what most people give it credit for.

Blender has a video editor in it too… hell Im surprised it doesnt have a full photo editing suit in it at this point
dukk@programming.dev 7 months ago
Tried it. Personally, didn’t really work for me. Blender is great 3D software, but video editing is not its forte. (And that’s fine! Do one thing and do it well.)
KneeTitts@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I wouldnt call it amazing compared to Davinci Resolve for example, but for smaller fast jobs its pretty good and very versatile.

Adobe should have Never been allowed to buy Macromedia, what a massive crime that was. I had fully shifted off all Adobe products and was using Macromedia for everything… then that happened. Its all been downhill since that.

You just made me remember Dreamweaver. Moving to DW from FrontPage felt like moving to IntelliJ Idea from Eclipse.

Recently learned about Krita too, which is more for art but it’s nice
There’s a plugin for AI generation now
PeleSpirit@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I didn’t know they had AI generation now, I need to use it again. I haven’t had a project that needed it for a bit.

There’s also GIMP as a Photoshop alternative
And Dark Table as a Lightroom alternative
Both are pretty great IMO
Lemminary@lemmy.world 7 months ago
GIMP was painful to use. Has it gotten any better yet?
QueriesQueried@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
Unfortunately, nope.
KneeTitts@lemmy.world 7 months ago
No, use Krita instead. I gave up on Gimp ever getting better about 15 years ago
Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months ago
I’m not sure what you mean, I’ve found it quite easy to use though it does have a learning curve like most things
When was the last time you tried it?

Capture One is not foss but fucking great

Oh, I used to like Krita. That’s disappointing that they’re yet another on the AI train
otter@lemmy.ca 7 months ago
Why though?
The image generation algorithm is open source and it runs locally. Artists can use it instead of giving up their art to some company to abuse. We’ve had tools like this for years, this is just better and easier to use

Artists are a bit tetchy about their stuff being used for the training data.
KneeTitts@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Krita is a lot better than Gimp if you need a PS alternative
