If I’m using CC suite for InDesign/Lightroom/PS/Premiere Pro/Acrobat is there a cheap/free combination of options that actually replaces the functionality of those programs? Alternatively, are there any maritime options that will work and not come with Israeli malware? I don’t know enough about it anymore to confidently pick something that wouldn’t end up being more trouble to keep working than it’s worth.

    If you don’t need to be able to collaborate professionally Affinity works well enough. Canva bought it, which sucks, but it works and the UI isn’t complete shit like a lot of alternatives. Iirc it will open psd and idml files without issue (idml not indd tho). The RAW editor is not great though

    Otherwise rutracker has several options

      Holy hell, Canva is cancer. Someone tried to get me to learn it and as soon as I found out that you can’t export real vector files I never opened it again.

      It’s cute for birthday cards but unbelievably ill-suited for real design work.
