Not sure how far they are in the being good alternatives to Adobe products, but I think these two are chipping away at other parts of the adobe empire.

But people also mention @kdenlive (video editor) and @darktable (photography virtual "lighttable" and raw "developer" for digital photos)

Outside of the FOSS space, I’ve had great luck converting folks in my life to use the Affinity suite of tools from Serif: affinity.serif.com/en-us/

Good solid tools, that you buy once and get to use.

@philip @alienghic @rysiek Affinity is good stuff. I wish they would support Android.

@philip @alienghic @rysiek Another kudos for Affinity. Very reasonably priced tool for basically everything most people use.

@philip @alienghic @rysiek can confirm. Grabbed the launch version price and never looked back, at least for now.

@darktable @rysiek

I don't know enough about advanced photography techniques to really tell how good you are compared to lightroom.

I went through some of the tutorial went look sliders! Hey neat tagging. Oooh easily syncable parallel metadata files instead of one big database for nextcloud to corrupt. (Which happened to me with digikam a long time ago)

KDE also has @digikam (photo manager), which has an editor called Showfoto that's similar to Darktable. It can also be run on its own. Been using it as the default image viewer and editor for years and it's quite good.

KDE has so much potential to create an open-source counterpart to the Creative Suite, due to the sheer variety of creative software and integrations they have with each other. A big reason why people use Adobe apps is that they fit together, making for extremely efficient workflows.
