[raises hand] I’ve used MatLab instead of Photoshop, I guess.
Seriously though, as an amateur photographer, working on a new engine instead of just adding more gen AI features to every pixel sounds like a good move. I’ll be sticking with my buy-once option, either way.
As a developer I also found this interesting:
That’s a super important skill a lot of people don’t even want to develop.
Better than buy once, try and if you like donate options
In concept, absolutely, but I tried and didn’t like.
So you don't lose anything win-win
Only the time I took to play around with FOSS options, which is fine for a hobby. There are actually really good options out there, they just don’t match my needs.
True. How much time you invest in "playing around" is your choice. I mostly treat it like a video game demo. I play for a bit and if I enjoy it I'll donate. If I see issues or it doesn't do what I want I don't donate.
Right. I’ve been known to open an issue and move on with my life. That’s not nothing, as far as contributing to FOSS.
