    • Screw those guys.

    At least for amateur/hobby work, I've used the following for years and love them. I also try to regularly donate to them.

    Instead of Illustrator for drawing, use Inkscape https://inkscape.org/ and/or Krita https://krita.org/en/.

    Instead of Lightroom for developing digital photos, use Darktable https://www.darktable.org/

    Instead of Photoshop for touchups, use GIMP https://www.gimp.org/.

    Instead of Acrobat Reader, use MuPDF (mobile) or Atril https://wiki.mate-desktop.org/mate-desktop/applications/atri... (Linux)

  • Natron

    Open-source video compositing software. Node-graph based. Similar in functionalities to Adobe After Effects and Nuke by The Foundry.

  • WorkOS
