Wish there was a good FOSS Acrobat/Blue beam alternative.
I use those tools for the majority of my work as an engineer.
bluebeam is great
Without the title of this post, it's probably easy for any non tech person to misunderstand this image as being a list of Adobe programs that spy on you, at least on first glance.
Affinity + BMD’s Davinci Resolve FTW. Best combo IMOO. I did the switch back in 2017 and never looked back. Worth the single low price and long term free upgrades. For acrobat replacement (basics only) Apple’s preview is flawless and Ubuntu 25.10 Pages looks promising. Looking for recommendations for Lightroom replacement. Apple’s pixelmator purchase looks promising but I don’t want subscription.
I've never used Photoshop but I have used Photopea and people tell me it's exactly the same: https://www.photopea.com/
I like it too, but it's like comparing a convenience store around the corner with the big box supermarket across town. Many similarities but it's much more limited. Do think it deserves more attention though, it works really well if you ask me.
I have no clue what most of these abbreviations refer to 😅
lol. coreldraw is fucking terrible
I have no idea what any of those things really does and it's way too much to learn given how much GIMP and Krita do

Draw from LO is pretty meh for a lot of things, but I use it a lot to edit pdfs, and it is very consistent
