Elements were always just so much inferior to the full versions that you're better off using free alternatives anyway
I've seen an old list of Adobe alternatives, but do you know of a recent one? I prim use Divinci Resolve over Premiere for video but have less familiarity with others. I find Gimp a bit hard to use. Mostly the controls don't feel natural for some reason.
look up "make GIMP feel like Photoshop" or something similar. iirc it's a quick install that rearranges GIMP to be much more intuitive for people who came up on adobe.
Nice!
I dunno if this changes any of the UX paradigms, but I heard GIMP is about to release a huge major version.
If you’re using a drawing tablet, Krita is free.
I’ve switched from Premiere to Kdenlive and I find that it works fantastically. It’s more clunky a bit but the features are all there.
photopea for photoshop, darktable for lightroom, inkskape for illustrator
I tried Resolve but couldn't really get on with it, doesn't help that it can't handle H264 & H265 encoded video in the free version... I'm really growing tired of using Vegas Pro 16
