Spent all night installing Photoshop, lightroom, illustrator, blender and finding a replacement for after effects and premiere pro. See you never windows!

That’s handy! Thanks. As for photoshop though, I use it daily at work and I rely on specific tools that I couldn’t find on any other software out there.

Yeah, people often cite GIMP as a Photoshop replacement, and it's one of those tools that I really want to like but the UX is just...not great.

Photopea is surprisingly capable

what prrograms did you choose to replace them with?

0jcis@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 3y

Da Vinci Resolve seemed to have everything I need, so that was my choice!

Green_Bay_Guy@lemmy.ml · 10 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Da Vinci Resolve all day.

0jcis@sh.itjust.works · 5 pts · 3y

Yes! That's what I picked!

What replacements did you settle on?

0jcis@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 3y (3 replies)

I decided to go with Da Vinci Resolve for video editing and I might migrate to something to replace Lightroom in future, can't now, because I have all my Lightroom catalogues at work.

Doesn't Darktable work for you?

0jcis@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

I mostly use photoshop to remove objects from photos, place in images rendered with blender and retouch them to look like they were part of the photo, I think Darktabke doesn’t have tools similar to healing brush and patch tools in photoshop. Although photoshop is working perfectly so far, it would be nice to find a native application that is up to the task. I haven’t really tried hard to look for linux alternative that can do that.

EDIT:

Wait, I just looked into it and there are such tools! Thank you for suggestion! I might try it!

Nuuskis@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 3y

Haha no problem. My 50%-pro photographer friend has used Linux only since 2018 and that's why I asked.

What distro and what GPU? Asking... for a friend

0jcis@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 3y

Ubuntu 23.04, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti and AMD Ryzen 5 4600H processor.

Out of curiosity, @0jcis@sh.itjust.works, what alternatives did you try before settling on Resolve/WIne?

0jcis@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Wine was the first and only one I tried! I think it’s the most popular choice, haven’t really looked into others. Are there better options?

kingmongoose7877@lemmy.film · 2 pts · 3y

Are there better options?

Honestly, that's too subjective a question for me to answer. There are other options but I won't say they're drop-in replacements for what you're used to. Each alternative comes with its own investment in time and effort, like setting up and learning new apps do. If that set-up works for you, rock and roll!

What version of Lightroom did you install and how?

0jcis@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 3y

I am on Ubuntu and I have an AMD processor.

Here are the steps:

If your system is 64 bit, enable 32 bit architecture (if you haven't already):

sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386

Download and add the repository key:

sudo mkdir -pm755 /etc/apt/keyrings sudo wget -O /etc/apt/keyrings/winehq-archive.key https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/winehq.key

Select your Ubuntu version and download the WineHQ sources file:

For Ubuntu 23.04 (Lunar Lobster):

sudo wget -NP /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/ubuntu/dists/lunar/winehq-lunar.sources

Update the package information:

sudo apt update

Install one of the following packages:

Stable branch:

sudo apt install --install-recommends winehq-stable

I also changed wine to windows 10 compatability mode with a command which opens a window where I selected the option:

winecfg

Then I just ran adobe installers with Wine by double clicking them and installed everything with no problem except After Effects and Premiere Pro.

Photoshop: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=12019334

Lightroom: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=12022938

Illustrator: https://thepiratebay.org/description.php?id=12021637

I haven't tested fully, but everything seemed to work when I was poking around.
