#Adobe’s Creative Cloud Alternatives

"why don't artists finally start boycotting adobe" YOU THINK I'D BE USING THIS STUFF IF I ACTUALLY HAD A CHANCE NOT TO???

[veeferns]

i do want to install linux, i have tried multiple times, but i just can't get vr or adobe things working, and those make up the overwhelming majority of what i use pcs for, all non-vr gaming i already do on my steam deck. and the vr not worjing is really inconsistent too, steamvr will launch in the live boot environment but then when i've actually installed it it'll simply refuse, not to mention getting my oculus quest 2 to connect to a linux PC would be even more of a pain, a pain i can't even fully test until i can get steamvr working because one of the two linux vr streamers (alvr (the other one is wivrn)) won't do anything until it detects steamvr open, connecting a wireless headset to a PC is already really tempremental on windows, i just don't have to energy to be troubleshooting my vr setup even more than i already do.

ooo you want to stop using google and windows ooo you want to install firefox with ublock origin ooo you want to install linux

ooo you also want to pet me oooooooo pet the puppy

[televisionenjoyer]

Tired of seeing those guides on alternatives to adobe creative cloud's products that are basically the equivalent of saying "instead of clip studio, try ms paint!" shut the fuck up some of us are professionals.

[chryza]

In the wake of more creative cloud drama expecting another slew of posts to be like Ew why would you pay for photoshop when there are all these FREE ALTERNATIVES and the list is like. GIMP. Lol. Lmao. Do you think I am willingly forking over money to Adobe. If there were an actual legitimate alternative to Photoshop that was genuinely as good I would swap to it immediately. As it is, you would need about four programs already to replace what photoshop has combined into one. IM NOT HAPPY ABOUT IT. BUT. COME ON.

I feel as a creative account I have some obligation to help or give advice to others.

So with the news of adobe doing smt fishy again I give you this over and over used list of alternatives. And a reminder that pirating adobe is never a bad thing.

For those who are not up to date with "adobe drama" there is a new TOS which enables adobe to monitor and use your content, the extent of this is not known. It will probably be appliead to cloud saved documents and photos/designs you used the fill using bg/generative AI fill on, but I even heard that opening pdf using acrobat could be it. You can never know and nowdays we have to be safe about our creative work with all this AI bs.

I myself am using Krita for drawing, but use adobe for work. And will be looking into the Affinity programs, which are NOT subscription based. Still have to find a good alternative for adobe after effects tho.

Stay safe, be crative and say fuck you to big corporations and AI!

[leavingautumn13]

god i have GOT to find an alternative to adobe indesign. thank you for nothing, creative cloud, and also for saying that i am offline when i am clearly not.

[smileymoth]

Let me preface that I'm not well spoken on political topics. But what I do find odd is people struggling to boycott food products. Obviously, it isn't as easy as "oh lets boycott all of these" because there are Way Too Many companies that fund Russia/Israel because "ouhch but our business partner 🥺." Your business partner has blood on their hands. Anyway. Not the point rn.

However when it comes to organized boycotts or being aware of brands that support genocide. I fail to understand why it's so difficult for people to just not buy those goods.

From what I'm aware, Milka, Oreo, Ben&Jerrys, Coca Cola group, Macdonalds, Starbucks all support oppressors. My hand does not reach for them at the store. I absolutely love Milka btw but knowing that they fund Russia makes me feel ill. Obvs with big name brands like Nestle and Coca Cola its really difficult because they own like half the products on the market. I bought Fanta the other day forgetting that CC owns it lol. But you get my point, right.

We don't have Starbucks so I can't speak on that but it can't be the only coffee shop nearby if you really need that overprized big drink. Theres 5 million other burger joints you could go to. Milka isn't the only chocolate brand. Coca Cola isn't the only soda brand. Ben&Jerrys is overpriced, get some cheaper ice cream.

What's a bit more tricky imo is big internet/tech companies. Boycotting Google??? Virtually impossible as every goddamn thing is owned by that thing. Youtube, Drive, the search engine (do not tell me about duckduckgo it sucks), everything. Obviously there are alternatives but it's so much more difficult to escape Google than it is to avoid McDonalds.

Adobe??? I'm forced to sell my soul for them because of school and while it is easy to pirate, with fonts it's a big gamble of legalities and in work spaces creative cloud is shared along. It is easy to boycott it but if you have to work in the industry you are. Kind of doomed.

Apple, Samsung, HP. Again, I dont know the details for HP but with Samsung and Apple i think they condemed Russia but continue to sell there. I don't know if other tech companies like Lenovo or... i dont know more... it's just difficult with those. Which is why organized boycotting exists.

But for goods like food and drinks I don't see a reason why it would be so difficult to just... not consume them

My thoughts on boycotting that plaque me daily 👍

Mastering the Art of Image Editing: Unveiling the Secrets to Stunning Visuals

In the dynamic and visually-driven digital landscape, image editing has become an indispensable tool for individuals and businesses alike. From social media influencers curating eye-catching feeds to businesses enhancing product images for e-commerce, the demand for high-quality, visually appealing content is at an all-time high. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the world of image editing, exploring its significance, popular techniques, and the tools that empower creators to transform ordinary visuals into extraordinary masterpieces.

The Significance of Image Editing:

Images are powerful communicators, capable of conveying emotions, telling stories, and leaving a lasting impression. Image editing serves as the catalyst that elevates visuals to new heights, making them more engaging and effective. Whether you're a professional photographer, a social media enthusiast, or a business owner, the ability to enhance and optimize your images is a game-changer in today's competitive digital landscape.

Key Techniques in Image Editing:

Color Correction and Grading:

One of the fundamental aspects of image editing is adjusting and enhancing colors. Color correction ensures accurate reproduction of hues, while color grading allows for creative manipulation, setting the tone and mood of the image. Professionals use tools like Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop to fine-tune colors and achieve a visually cohesive look.

Retouching and Enhancement:

Perfecting portraits or product images involves retouching and enhancing details. Removing blemishes, smoothing skin tones, and refining textures are common techniques employed to achieve a polished and professional look. Advanced tools such as frequency separation help achieve nuanced results without sacrificing realism.

Cropping and Composition:

The right composition can transform an ordinary image into a captivating one. Image editing tools provide the flexibility to crop, resize, and reframe images to improve their overall composition. Attention to composition is crucial for creating visually pleasing and balanced visuals.

HDR Imaging:

High Dynamic Range (HDR) imaging is a technique that combines multiple exposures of a scene to capture a broader range of light and detail. This is particularly useful in landscape photography, architectural shots, and any scenario with varying light conditions. HDR enhances the overall tonal range and details in an image.

Adding Filters and Effects:

Filters and effects are powerful tools for infusing creativity into images. From vintage looks to modern aesthetics, a plethora of filters and effects are available to cater to diverse preferences. These can be applied to evoke specific emotions or align with a brand's visual identity.

Tools of the Trade:

Adobe Creative Cloud:

Adobe's suite of creative tools, including Photoshop and Lightroom, remains the industry standard for professional image editing. With a wide range of features and capabilities, these tools offer unparalleled flexibility and control.

GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program):

GIMP is a free, open-source alternative to proprietary image editing software. Despite being free, GIMP provides a comprehensive set of tools for tasks ranging from photo retouching to graphic design.

Canva:

Canva is a user-friendly online platform that caters to both beginners and professionals. It offers a range of templates and tools for easy image editing, making it accessible to those without extensive design experience.

Snapseed:

For mobile users, Snapseed is a powerful and intuitive photo editing app. Developed by Google, Snapseed provides a wide array of editing tools and filters, making it a favorite among smartphone photographers.

Conclusion:

In the digital age, where visuals reign supreme, mastering the art of image editing is a valuable skill. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or a social media enthusiast, understanding the significance of image editing and familiarizing yourself with the essential techniques and tools will undoubtedly elevate the quality of your visuals. So, embark on this creative journey, experiment with different editing styles, and witness the transformative power of image editing in making your visuals truly stand out in the digital realm.

what is comedic timing?

ok so i don't think i've seen anyone do this yet, but i've transcribed the joke synopsis from the comedic timing video.

here it is, if you haven't seen it/want to watch it again:

i'll put the synopsis under a read more, since it's pretty long

MY JOKE

A family of four and their pet dog go into a talent scout's office. "We have an act we want to show you," the father says. "Ok," says the talent scout, "go ahead, then." The man clears his throat and explains that a long passage of text was needed for a part of the video game in which a voice outlines the perfect conditions for telling a joke. "Huh," says the talent agent, "haven't heard that one before." No, no, says the man. That's not part of the joke. It's more of a synopsis. You see, I may look like a man, but I'm not really that man and you're not really a talent agent and this isn't even in the ballpark of the aristocrat's joke that the intro to this text bit made it look to be. For all I know, we're just stand-ins in some diabolical parable. A means to an end. We are being created, used, and discarded later, for the purpose of filling a text box. Come to think of it, this does strike me as a bit of a placeholder text situation, don't you think?

The agent is visibly confused. "What the heck are you talking about? Placeholder text? What is this, Photoshop? I don't think that's funny, not at all. In fact I'd rather go and install an update or two in my Creative Cloud app. They keep popping up and I'm seriously overwhelmed."

Sure, says the man. He too knows the struggles of for-rent software licensing. It's real convenient, sure, but ever since he started subscribing to Adobe's cloud services, the software itself has been more unstable. Actually, okay, this is Dom speaking now. As I'm typing this filler stuff, did the Photoshop engine sort of get worse a while back? Selections and fills started to be more aliased. Jagged pixels everywhere. I've been wanting to check out Krita or other alternatives for a while now, but you know how it is. Anyway, that's the end of the first bit.

WHEN TO LAUGH

Now, dear listener, I have prepared several exciting laugh moments for you that I can't wait for you to experience. Let me list them here.

I'm going to pull the classic one-two-three. You go haha

A bit towards the end that you mistake for a punchline

The actual punchline, but it'll be more of a smile

And that'll conclude my short synopsis. I hope you enjoyed it and could take something from it. I obviously had to keep it short and to the point, but as you and I both know, the real deal is going to be the joke I'm about to tell. Spoilers: I'm going to have to go pee at least once during the joke. Looking forward to it! All the best,

Your friend and joke teller,

(by the by, i use krita and it's pretty good! also it's free and open source :] )

Reflection and Evaluation of Learning 4

Sound design was something I had always done on my own, however this time i worked with 2 groups of people, the first didnt really do anything, but the second were working in a file format which I was unfamilier with AAF files. This is an advanced multimedia file type which can contain lots of types of data such as images and sounds seperated into their different layers. AAF seems to be the ultimate audio designing file type as its used in Pro Tools and FL Studio. I however had no way of opening these files, and i had to reformat my audio in a way which the sound designers could use in their software.

The software I had been using to add audio was Premiere Pro however my file was mixed in stereo and to import files into Pro Tools the file must be mono.

A bit of context so the next part makes sense... I had 14 audio tracks originally

Alex (Vocal)

Hugh with some Alex (Vocal)

Glenda (Vocal)

Van

Woosh

Movement

Scratch audio

Other sound effects 1

Other sound effects 2

Music

Clothing

Overflow1

Overflow2

Overflow3

With all my audio on separated and themed layers I created a new document with multichannel audio enabled, I then copied all the tracks from the old document to the new (creating another identical set of 14 tracks). However as this document is multichannel audio I set the total number of audio channels to 8.

(above are the tracks, there are 14 but the window was too small to show all the tracks at once so its cropped off a few)

I then each track to be panned entirely to the left or right in an alternating pattern (as seen below)

When I exported this document as an .AAF file it pushes the 14 audio tracks through 8 channels where the left and right are each different tracks. The software my sound engineers were using automatically assumed these stereo outputs as mono, and so would separate my 8 channels out back into their original 16 tracks

This process worked and enabled my sound designers access to the work I had already done and now I understand the software sound engineers use I am more prepared to format my work in a way (from the start) that is best for them. While yes, this is not strictly speaking animation skills, I do think learning this was important as I plan to work with the same sound designers moving forward I do also see that this might have been a slight waste of time if my goal was to only finish my film.

I could have put this time into other things which may have had more immediate impacts but I am happy I prioritised this as the deadline for the MA is not the same as the deadline for my film, and moving forward this is so useful to have and understanding of.

This information was way out of my comfort zone and so I used a couple of tutorials to educate myself on the subject.
