• Cancel Adobe if you are a creative under NDA with your clients

  Well, there is Serif's suite: https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/designer/ (There's also a Photo and page layout app) or the open-source stuff: - https://krita.org/en/ - https://inkscape.org/ - https://www.scribus.net/. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Cancel Adobe if you are a creative under NDA with your clients

  These are all valid alternatives with real world use, but none of them are Photoshop, and that's kinda the problem we face. Krita - https://krita.org/en/. - Source: Hacker News / 1 day ago

• Photoshop ToS grants Adobe access to user projects for 'content moderation'

  I migrated away from Adobe after Photoshop CS6 which I believe was the last release before they switched over to a subscription only pricing model. If you're looking for a Photoshop alternative to break away from the incredibly user hostile relationship with Adobe I can heartily recommend either Krita (open source) or Pixelmator (Mac only). Pixelmator Pro is my daily driver for image related work and is incredibly... - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• Paint.net

  Check out Krita[0]. It's what I used after leaving Windows - a little different, maybe 25% more complicated, but has everything you need. If you just want a MS Paint replacement, KolourPaint[1] is the way to go [0] https://krita.org/en/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?

  The entire KDE project, which not only includes the Plasma Shell but also Projects like Krita [0] and Kdenlive [1] and some other great applications that work cross platform. [0] https://krita.org/en/ [1] https://kdenlive.org/de/. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• Photo Merger

  If you're looking for a free alternative, you can try LuminanceHDR and HDRMerge, both open source. I've never tried either of them, just found them here: https://pixls.us/software/. Source: 6 months ago

• Editing HDR image

  I've tried merging exposure-bracketed photos with various HDR utilities, including directly in Darktable. To be honest, the only thing I've ever got decent results out of is HDRMerge. My preference is to do the merge from the command-line interface (I have it scripted up as part of my automated workflow) but it has a GUI as well if you prefer. Source: over 2 years ago

• PostProcessing for casual use : Lightroom or cheaper / free alternative ?

  For HRD merge I tried https://jcelaya.github.io/hdrmerge/ a couple of times, I think it does the correct thing ; it just merges and produce a file with larger dynamic range and let the tone mapping for you. The /r/shittyHDR look comes mostly from bad tone mapping. I rarely use exposure bracketing because I can directly average shots on my Canon camera. Source: over 2 years ago

• Layered Photos for bracketing / multiple exposure blending. How to auto align the layers?

  I'm not aware of any automated way to do it in the Gimp. I use HDRMerge to combine multiple shots at different exposures into a single HDR image for later processing in the Gimp and it gives me pretty good results. It can be run as a batch-job, which makes it very easy to slip into an automated workflow. Source: over 2 years ago

• White-Balance in HDR

  I've tried creating HDR images with a variety of programs, including Darktable, but the only one I've ever had good results with has been HdrMerge. Source: over 2 years ago
