If Linux gets support from Abode so I can ditch Photoshop, I’ll be there.

Adobe may never do this. You might have some luck looking into alternative apps to the ones you work with.

There are some very compelling, cross platform, FOSS alternatives to Photoshop (GIMP, Krita), Illustrator (Inkscape), InDesign (Scribus), maybe premier pro (Davinci Resolve isn't FOSS, but it is cross platform. You can also try shortcut, openshot, kdenlive but they're not as advanced).

One thing I miss, however, is the interoperability between Adobe apps. Like copying a vector from illustrator into an InDesign document. I couldn't do the same between Inkscape and Scribus

Abode. Think your brain autofilled that.

Abode is an alternative suite being developed by Culture Hustle, the company started by Stuart Semple, and who made the blackest black and pinkest pink paints, aswell as who ported the Pantone catalog after that whole fiasco.

Such a poor choice of name. And I feel bad for all the people dumb enough to give him money for it thinking they’ll get anything close to photoshop.

Scribus can't be a replacement until Master Pages work like they do in InDesign.

[–] vikingtons@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That's fair enough

If you don't need Photoshop for actual work, then running it under Wine is a viable option. CC 2019 (20.0) works fine for the most part, but you need to install it in Windows first and copy over the installed folder. CC 2023 also works, but there's no GPU acceleration support (yet).

Imagine paying a subscription; use Affinity Photo and Designer as these are very viable alternatives without the subscription. GIMP is not a good alternative despite it being free :(

[–] sebinspace@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Who said anything about paying? :P

If you've ever spent any time in Photoshop you know gimp is garbage in comparison. Photopea is better than gimp.

[–] Knecht@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Photopea is the way to go for me

Affinity is great, I try it every once in a while but it's just not quite there as a replacement for Photoshop for Pro level work.
