Just come across this which some might find very interesting especially if you want to save some money.
These guys have created a set of apps that replicate the Adobe suit using AI. The only downside is that they don’t (apparently) recognise native adobe formats. That said really impressive.
I only use the photography bundle from adobe so the sub isn’t that much so I’m not really in the market for moving but might be worth a try?
I’m to invested in LR with a massive catalog of images and would be way to much hassle to even think about moving to anything else (I should really but haven’t got the time to do it)
I have used the Affinity suite for several years, Photo, Designer (vector), and Publisher (page layout). They were acquired by Canva last year. All in all, a very capable suite.
I read this same article. While it’s an ambitious project, a lot of users were reporting a lot of issues and things that didn’t work. Also the developer walked back his statements that it would gain full parity with Adobe’s products in a month. Seems they overhyped it just a tad.
