Photopea represent

Affinity Photo for me!

I'd prefer FOSS but...GIMP ain't it.

Have used Photopea in* a bind in the past, it's also pretty good especially the clone GUI.

Bought out by Canva, I also currently love it, but I don't expect that to last.

I moved to Affinity early this year, and it has been amazing!! I was expecting a long adjustment period after decades with Photoshop, but it's so similar that I picked it up super quick!

Another vote for Affinity. Excellent Adobe alternatives 1-time reasonable price. Such a breath of fresh air after so many subs.

Just an FYI that you might want to get some practice in with some Affinity alternatives, because they've been purchased by Canva, and so enshittification might set in any time.

[–] Scrollone@feddit.it 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It may enshittify, but since it's a one time purchase and not a subscription, you can keep using your version.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 2 points 1 week ago

Oh that's really good.

[–] Litebit@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

I have been using it for the past 5+ years. It is good enough, and its perpetual license.

Krita is my graphics app of choice these days. But there are many alternatives that are great (like Gimp and Photopea).

Krita is my graphics app of choice these days.

So much of Krita is great and then there is the text tool which is still a heap of trash.

[–] jackalope@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

New update coming for that soon!

[–] woelkchen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

New update coming for that soon!

I'm fully aware of the feature that has been promised for years and is supposed to land in 5.3. I'm still using Krita, just not solely.
