Friendly reminder that GIMP does pretty much everything Photoshop does, and it’s 100% free. Fuck DRM and the license culture, we have plenty of open source options available to us as a consumer.

• Lightworks is a freeware video editor on par with Premiere
• Blender is an excellent freeware 3D renderer,possibly better than After Effects
• Lightzone to replace Lightroom
• Inkscape to replace Illustratr
• Audacity to replace Audition (I also received a free version of Pro Tools with my Scarlett Solo audio interface)

If Adobe is going to be greedy shitheads, then fuck ‘em. Don’t use their stuff. Freeware can be just as good, if not better, than Adobe CC.

Time to say my “fuck you” to adobe and install gimp instead
