I will no longer be able to assist with development nor debugging actual issues with the software… Quite juvenile behavior from the devs. It stemmed from this issue where the devs continuously argued in public by opening and closing an issue. Anyway, thought I would keep y’all apprised of the situation, since these are the people maintaining the software you are currently using.
I love the Adobe suite. I just hate Adobe, the company. Lol
I’m running Linux now and there’s no choice but the free tools. My workaround is to do cutouts and background recreation in GIMP. I prefer how it handles transparency masks and clipping over Krita. And the ability to use a saved path as a guideline with snapping is useful. Then all layers are exported and imported to Krita for composite with adjustment layers. Any text is done there for layer styles. Or, stuff from GIMP goes straight into Blender or Resolve.
But if a client demands Adobe, and they’re willing to pay, no worries. I’ll fire up win and run Adobe. But I have completely moved off Maya to Blender for a variety of reasons. Mostly because none of my clients require it anymore. Corporate clients tend to prefer Adobe still. The mom and pops tend to like the entire tool chain being free.
But without a doubt Ps blows away GIMP and Krita together, never mind separately. Frankly, I’d prefer Ae to Fusion too. But Blender has made up for most of the limitations of Fusion. And the rest of Resolve is fantastic.
