I’ve never had any trouble running adobe software on Linux.
I’ve also never tried, but still the statement is technically correct.
The answer is very much “Don’t run Photoshop”
(Fuck Adobe. There, I said it)
“It is always ethical to pirate adobe”
It’s never unethical to pirate Adobe, but it’s always more ethical to use Free Software instead and deny Adobe the mindshare.
It’s far more ethical to make the company lose money
Minimum amount for photoshop is 22$/month
Pirate photoshop
Delete it
Pirate again
Repeat 30 times
Adobe looses 660$
If everyone does this adobe will loose so much
Investors hate this one glitch!
They don’t care as they have a massive profit margin. What matters more is the market share. You got to break the standard way of thinking industry wide.
Lol I’ve been using cs5 until yesterday. V24 now
Gimp is behind on features and ui optimisation and krita is art focused
Voice of reason
I never understood that argument. Do or do not.
Fuck Adobe
Goto www.PhotoPea.com instead. :)
Sadly there is no alternative that is even remotely as capable
It depends on what you do
Well the obvious answer would be all the professional Photoshop capable things man, we can love Linux and still admit there’s areas for growth
True but I think most people don’t use every feature
If you want to edit photos then Affinity is passable, and GIMP is a joke.
If all you want to do is draw, then Krita is a very capable alternative to Photoshop, but being good at only a specific subset of Photoshop capabilites doesn’t turn it into a replacement for it
I make my memes in gimp and it works for me.
Depends what you want to do to photos. It just adjustments without trickery, darktable is fantastic.
Yeah, it’s kind of true. I’ve tried a bunch of Lightroom and Photoshop alternatives. Pixelmator and Photomator for iOS and macOS are my absolute favorites. I wish I could get around Affinity software better, but I can do 95% of what I need in Pixelmator. And I love some of the select tools. Bonus: Davinci Resolve is a big switch for Premiere users— but worth it, and even CapCut’s free features can help with the basics.
Gimp has been just fine.
Fuck I’d love an actual equivalent alternative on Windows too. GIMP, while great in the past, is nowhere near modern Photoshop, it’s closer to modern Paint, which is just sad.
There’s a ton of people and businesses that hate Adobe, the lack of real alternatives is fascinating.
What? This is a normal headphone dongle for macs.
Don’t be ridiculous, mac users have neat and tidy usb hubs. iPhone users on the other hand…
Good faith response here so pardon me if it’s a swoosh moment. One of my devices is a fairly recent Mac. And it has a headphone jack. Which I appreciate greatly.
But is it SCSI or 1/4" TRS?
Connected through every single coax connector made by man.
Are you trying to use a guitar as an input device for PhotoShop?
???
What else would you use?
Reverse polarity positron emitter.
You get the most accurate memes if you use the large hadron collider as your input device. Though be careful, sometimes you can get a bit of antimatter on them, so don’t touch or lick the meme.
Surely you’d want the detector?
That’s the fun part. The emitter is the detector. It will invert the beam of it detects anything.

Everybody knows d minor is the saddest of all keys.
Are you criticizing my MIDI art?
Say what you will, this is an efficient and elegant way to store your adapters. I’m envious.
Until you need one and your OCD having ass can’t break the chain so you buy a new one …
*Audiophile screeching in the distance as you enjoy perfectly fine 48k through this bad boy
I was hoping I could plug it into my guitar & watch the sounds on an old computer monitor…
Do you think it would work?
Just dropping this here https://forum.mattkc.com/viewtopic.php?t=336
mattkc USES LINUX? based.
he uses KDE too
i didnt know that its rare finding a youtuber on linux + kde isnt bad unless your on a low end pc or have weird crashing problems
I love Matt’s videos.
He had a video describing how he completely switched to Linux and he showcased Photoshop in the video. It was immensely satisfying for me.
of course he uses arch
You can’t do that shit any other way, you use either Arch or Void.
true
He uses custom build Nobara
There are Linux users trying to use Photoshop?
As a challenge… for science 👀…
Photoshop cs2 is
free to downloadand probably works well on wine as its old as hell.Edit: Correction. You used to o be able to download cs2 from adobe website. This is no longer the case.
GIMP has always been able to do what I needed more or less. Its got a learning curve and sometimes I still dont 100% how something works but for basic photo editing, meme making, and converting photos to different file types (why is .webp not universally supported yet?) Its pretty good.
When theres a problem doing something in GIMP it always felt like the issue was my own understanding of the toolset conbined with not-great documentation being given. I never felt like I encountered the limits of the program itself.
I’m sure if you are a professional graphics person who needs advanced tools theres things only PS can provide and its user interface is probably more friendly. But for me, the average joe schmo, GIMP gets the job done 95% of the time with little to no headache.
Some people do overestimate how much of the software they’re actually using, and how far back some features go. I learned the little PS I know using a 7.0 license my father bought, I used it for years doing 2D graphics and web “design”, and still basically still have the same workflow with minor differences to avoid destructive changes.
I just went through this last night…VMware workstation +windows 10 + passthrough.
You can skip 3 of these adapters if you upgrade to the latest libraries, downgrade your microcode, turn off WiFi, and bench press a goat. It turns out it was the goat involved I’m the process, rather than the sacrifice, that made that stuff work.
Love the rs232 to scsi adapter that thing is dope.
Use Krita instead
Krita is a different kind of tool used for drawing, but still really good. I don’t even know the adobe way to do this lol.
Gimp would be image post processing software like photoshop is. Also Inkscape is a vector graphics software like adobe illustrator.
Oh you wanna do a pdf? Use Libreoffice and export as pdf. Krita is a open source alternative to photoshop as is gimp. Gimp has came a long way and is a functional replacement for photoshop these days without all the ugly AI stuff.
GIMP has PDF support too.
I think I read that but I’ve never tried. I mostly use gimp for image format conversion. My daughter on the other hand can make both Krita and Gimp do all kinds of tricks.
It opens each page as a layer, which makes sense to me but I’m not sure it’s what you’d expect.
I also do really like finding proud parents on Lemmy btw :3
Nah, I prefer my parallel port
You mean that Centronics SCSI terminator?
Or just use Photopea like a non-self abusive person
What’s so funny? This is how we played multiplayer Doom in 94.
