For those that want Photoshop functionality and controls for free:
https://www.photopea.com/
No idea why that site isn't more well known.
I guess people prefer having an actual executable program instead of a browser page
And jobs to do lmao if I told someone at work that a file on a deadline had to get picked up in photopea or gimp I would get demolished.
Edit: I am actively trying to get an entire company switched to Affinity. It's not easy but possible.
Not sure what you mean. Just deliver the finished product?
Not always an option, unfortunately. By "picked up" I meant if you need to save, close, and eventually someone else picks up the work where you left off. Incredibly common in collaborative settings. I may start a Photoshop file, get to a good point, but then it has to change based on the work someone else is doing. Another person has to open that file and make updates accordingly. If they couldn't find and edit the file because I told them it was done in Photopea or GIMP, that would mess things up.
Affinity is a viable alternative to Adobe, whereas Photopea and GIMP are more suitable for individual needs (although it'd be kinda cool if a practice set itself up to use those from the ground up).
