    Serif has entered the chat.

    Edit: FYI every time you try to cancel your subscription they offer a year at $39.99 per month for a year. Last year I tried to cancel and they gave me that offer. At that price it’s a pretty good deal so I took it; well it just so happens that today that year was up and when I tried to cancel the offer popped up again. So i guess I’ll stay with them for another year.

      You would be wrong. There is nothing close to Photoshop and many others. Sadly that is the case.

        Still worth it.

        I’d rm -rf my computer rather than using adobi*** products.

          Exactly, you are not their target user.

          Many people, including myself until recently, would also do a lot to rid themselves of adobe, but for us it just isn’t possible.

          On the other hand, their subscription isn’t that high, compared to so many other subscriptions.

          That works. I think I could probably get away with using Inkscape instead of illustrator, but it would be a struggle, because with it I can’t copy paste vectors to other apps. InDesign is completely alone in it’s category.

          Adobe is the standard everyone uses. You can’t be a pro and collaborate without it.

          It’s like 35€ per month. There are so many subscriptions out there now. Everything is a subscription. 35€ isn’t even that much anymore, considering all the apps you get.

        Photopea has been great, probably not the best for power users, but it’s basically a clone of the Photoshop UI.

    After using Adobe CS6 for 10 years as refusing to upgrade to CC I switched to Mac and got the Affinity programs. Cost $50 for each of the Photoshop, Illustrator and Publisher equivalent programs with no monthly costs. Universal licensing across all platforms!

    Also the developers are in Ukraine

    We need Affinity Photo for Linux asap… Even on a VM both Affinity Photo and Affinity Photo 2 keep crashing for some reason…

        Yes, but it doesn’t even install properly. There’s a custom fork of Wine specifically for Affinity Photo and it works somewhat but it’s very slow and crashes a lot.

    I just used a free online thing called PDF2Go to split a giant PDF into 4 smaller files. It let me directly download the resulting 4 files without signing up for anything, and they work perfectly on my box (linux mint). Tbh I don’t think the UI is super intuitive but I just googled “How to split a file on pdf2go” and found clear instructions. It has a lot of other tools I have not explored.

    Not affiliated with the site in any way, sharing because Adobe is so freaking expensive. https://www.pdf2go.com/
