    I've never had any trouble running adobe software on Linux.

    I've also never tried, but still the statement is technically correct.

    [–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 14 points 1 month ago

    I'm laughing way too hard at this.

    Honestly this is the best answer.

    Like, use the tools that work for your use case?

    I fucking hate macs but man using a video editor on windows was a pain back in the day. Where I would rather set up a server on Linux, than use whatever the hell windows servers operate.

    The answer is very much "Don't run Photoshop"

    (Fuck Adobe. There, I said it)

    "It is always ethical to pirate adobe"

    [–] grue@lemmy.world 70 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (3 children)

    It's never unethical to pirate Adobe, but it's always more ethical to use Free Software instead and deny Adobe the mindshare.

    [–] Remotedeck@discuss.tchncs.de 42 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

    It's far more ethical to make the company lose money

    Minimum amount for photoshop is 22$/month

    Pirate photoshop

    Delete it

    Pirate again

    Repeat 30 times

    Adobe looses 660$

    If everyone does this adobe will loose so much

    They don't care as they have a massive profit margin. What matters more is the market share. You got to break the standard way of thinking industry wide.

    What? This is a normal headphone dongle for macs.

    Don't be ridiculous, mac users have neat and tidy usb hubs. iPhone users on the other hand...

    I was taking to my sister, who is an artist, about setting up Linux and warned them about poor Adobe support. Their response was "⭐ 𝒻𝓊𝒸𝓀 𝒶𝒹𝑜𝒷𝑒 ⭐" due to their AI shenanigans and high costs.

    So thanks modern Adobe for making it easier for people to switch to Linux.

    Are you trying to use a guitar as an input device for PhotoShop?

    [–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 32 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    ???

    What else would you use?

    [–] slurpeesoforion@startrek.website 11 points 1 month ago (3 children)

    Reverse polarity positron emitter.

    Say what you will, this is an efficient and elegant way to store your adapters. I’m envious.

    Photoshop cs2 is ~~free to download~~ and probably works well on wine as its old as hell.

    Edit: Correction. You used to o be able to download cs2 from adobe website. This is no longer the case.

    GIMP has always been able to do what I needed more or less. Its got a learning curve and sometimes I still dont 100% how something works but for basic photo editing, meme making, and converting photos to different file types (why is .webp not universally supported yet?) Its pretty good.

    When theres a problem doing something in GIMP it always felt like the issue was my own understanding of the toolset conbined with not-great documentation being given. I never felt like I encountered the limits of the program itself.

    I'm sure if you are a professional graphics person who needs advanced tools theres things only PS can provide and its user interface is probably more friendly. But for me, the average joe schmo, GIMP gets the job done 95% of the time with little to no headache.

    [–] folkrav@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

    Some people do overestimate how much of the software they’re actually using, and how far back some features go. I learned the little PS I know using a 7.0 license my father bought, I used it for years doing 2D graphics and web “design”, and still basically still have the same workflow with minor differences to avoid destructive changes.

    I don’t use Adobe, I make money just fine without it.

    [–] adam_y@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    It's hard to make money from Adobe when they charge you £66 a month.

    Not too hard with WinApps. I just use GIMP.

    You can skip 3 of these adapters if you upgrade to the latest libraries, downgrade your microcode, turn off WiFi, and bench press a goat. It turns out it was the goat involved I'm the process, rather than the sacrifice, that made that stuff work.

    [–] Dkarma@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

    Love the rs232 to scsi adapter that thing is dope.

    Krita is a different kind of tool used for drawing, but still really good. I don't even know the adobe way to do this lol.

    Gimp would be image post processing software like photoshop is. Also Inkscape is a vector graphics software like adobe illustrator.

    Add one more adapter to plug that 1/4" into a sound card, plug a printer into the other end, and then hire Abdul Alhazred to write a Cups driver.

    Gimp sucks.

    And ps works with wine if you have it on windows already and drag over some system32 dlls

    [–] parpol@programming.dev 17 points 1 month ago (10 children)

    Gimp used to suck. Gimp 3 is amazing. Krita is great. Inkscape is OK.

    Having all three requires less space than Photoshop and Illustrator and covers about every feature of both.

    Gimp doesn't suck as an image editor, it just sucks as a Photoshop clone, which it was never meant to be. It's an amazing image editor.
