How on earth are their cancellation fees. Don’t you pay before each “season”?

They sell you a yearly subscription but with monthly payments, then require you to finish paying for the whole year if you cancel early. It is a bit discounted from the actual monthly plan and selected by default.
And they have shitty UX that doesn’t make this blatantly obvious, hence all the people who have issues with this.

It’s definitely not a shitty UX, it’s dark patterns, deliberate made to confuse.

I’ve had my feature requests added to both Inkscape and Gimp. I doubt if Adobe devs will ever listen to you.
For my photography, I could get results in Gimp equal or sometimes better than Photoshop. But now Gimp 3 adds productivity features to make it fast too. And using it with DigiKam and RawTherapee means a top notch workflow too.Gonzako@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
What features if I may be informed?

In Gimp it was the enhancement to the command search. It needs to find a command when you type a slash. Before it would only execute the command. Now it tells you where it is. So you don’t need to search every time. In Inkscape there have been several. Most recently it was to reduce the width of the Text panel by moving some elements. As the Text panel is very wide. A full overhaul is due soon.

This is what happens when software companies adopt the business model of LA Fitness.

moved over to gimp lately, just a ton of reassigning shortcuts and it works about the same as PS…
inkscape though, some files I deal with have half a bajillion vectors and it just can NOT handle it (unless I want to wait 20s every time I move something). would really like to get off adobe but, gonna have to keep illustrator for now…
drmoose@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Tou shouldn’t be using vector graphics if you have bajillion of vectors either way. I hair giant sheets of inkscape documents with thousands of shapes that work well, the issues arise when people blindly convert raster to vector and try to use that vomit as vector graphics.
mirisgaiss@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
let me know when you can convince nemetschek to make vectorworks output PDFs in any other way… considering they’re unfortunately leaning hard into AI bullshit in their software I doubt that’s getting addressed anytime soon

I use GIMP a little bit. How do you donate?

There is a donate link on their website.

And this is why I registered once with a disposable debit card. Fuck you, Adobe.

Adobe id in the list of companies like Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Apple, and more. The world would be an actual better place I’d they’d just disappear

Is there an alternative to PS that uses actions?
sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
GIMP has scripting support, but you shouldn’t expect to just import a Photoshop action and expect it to work, you’d probably need to tweak it.

Free Photoshop, same controls and all.
drmoose@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Free but not open source and could be taken away at any point. Gimp is a much safer bet.
