You heard . Deep down you knew this was coming. Now all your art are belong to them. Time to move on to better things...

Kreative Suite

  • Krita is your new design/painting app
  • Kdenlive will give you video-editing powers
  • glaxnimate adds 2D vector animations to you videos

Also:

  • Inkscape - create sophisticated vector-graphic designs
  • Scribus - layout like a pro
  • GIMP - need we say more
  • Blender - ditto

Locked a bunch of the production industry/creatives/graphic artists/etc. completely out of creative cloud and all of its apps until they signed a new TOS.
They gave no heads up about it and basically it lets them use all your media however they want, super invasive stuff.

Two months ago I convinced my company to switch over to Da Vinci resolve and I am never going back. It is objectively the better tool in every regard for video editing. The only thing I will miss from Adobe is their audio enhance tool, but we will survive lol

Black magic design has proven themselves a pretty capable, reasonable, mostly consumer friendly company for a good decade now. I feel safe for now. But always gotta be on the lookout!

We cope by saying they hire a replacement who asked for more. The reality is they generally don’t. They either offload the work to the rest of the dept and go “oh look at that we didn’t need them!” as the group drowns OR they find a wide eyed, younger professional who will take a crap - or at least lower - salary.

This varies from industry to industry but it’s very common.

Do you think OP is representative of the broader workforce?
