And they could easily follow Adobe s lead. Enshittify and lock you out of your account whenever they feel it s necessary (remember what happened with Venezuelan Adobe users a few years ago?)

That is a bit different from how tools like Adobe Lightroom tend to work. The main problem with display-referred workflows is not just reduced precision, but that you can end up clipping information and applying nonlinear transforms too early... Adobe does a nice job of balancing tradeoffs. But they do remove a lot of choice and control from the process.

No doubt Illustrator is capable of exporting to SVG, and that is really an essential for any sort of web icons in the HTML5 age.

We all know Adobe runs that arena, and that most consumers are sick of their business practices.

everything you do there will likely be too rough compared to what you could get with a Bamboo on Painter/Illustrator.

Photoshop includes Adobe Camera Raw which in and of itself is a UI majesty compared to anything available in Linux and its just an adjunct capability.

I also took a head shot of my kid and ran it through... and it spit out a 3d model with texture of my kid.

the normal people I know, use AI in ... Adobe Express

I searched for several image-to-SVG tools, and the best one was this Adobe tool.

I would say that InDesign easily won over then industry-standard Quark nearly two decades ago.

Adobe is more than halfway there since Creative Suite and has plans to finish the job with Adobe Express, though we’ll see if they come to fruition.

I think others would argue on that last point that Adobe is more than halfway there since Creative Suite and has plans to finish the job with Adobe Express, though we’ll see if they come to fruition.

I knew equally well that Adobe would ruin Figma if they owned it.

fuck Adobe. Fuck their dark patterns, fuck their bugs, fuck their pricing, fuck their monopoly

Illustrator still seems the gold standard.

I fear that sooner or later Affinity will fall victim to enshittification. It will either become exactly like Adobe is today

I can't imagine paying $30 a month or more as a subscription service for canva or adobe or anything similar.

every single one of the top results (...Adobe...) have to upload the image(s) to their server and it does server processing. The upload itself takes a minute and the export download process often takes longer.

I'd love to have an actually free alternative to the offerings from those rapacious thugs over at Adobe.
