Hello fediverse penguins!

Being in Linux for 2+ years, I have found alternative solutions for the apps I used on windows. But I can’t find something like Photoshop.

I started using Krita, which is amazing and does lots of things I do, but the text editor when I try to resize text, it just ruins it and gets blurry sometimes. Then I found inkscape, which was good for, text and everything else worked fine, but not much of photo editor.

So what next? any recommendations ?

I also use kdenlive for video editing, and rawtherapee for DSLR photos editing.

    I have been looking at Affinity as a sub for InDesign. I have never actually tried it though. Does it work on Linux?

    I dropped Adobe a few years ago, I do love inscape, however yeh it has limitations, gimp for photos. Not found anything to good with text. Been back and forward with Scribus but it’s just so awkward.

      I used Affinity on Mac and Windows. It was the affordable, well-thought-out, performant Photoshop competitor and is now free to use (with a Canva account). Some folks got it running with wine and there is an easy to use appimage ( see articlke )/

      I got it running easily, but didn’t test it fully, yet.

        Yeh I don’t wanna be faffing with wine…that’s what held me back last time I looked. Didn’t even mind the one off fee for affinity I’d rather pay that and know it’s mine TBH. Curious if can a will eventually make it subscription.

          I was fine buying it, too. Now, I bet they will integrate it into their online services in order to have people hooked up.
