I'm curious what features Adobe has that FOSS is missing

[–] nek0d3r@midwest.social 3 points 2 days ago

One of the biggest feautures missing for professionals is CMYK color space. There are some workarounds found, but it's not at the same level of Adobe and certainly not built for it.

I switched to FOSS everything and I still miss a lot of stuff even if I'll never touch Adobe again. Everything is so much harder to use and that was a sacrifice I chose to make for the sake of software freedom

In the case of GIMP it's an interface that makes any kind of sense. Have to admit that Inkscape is looking pretty damn good these days - even though it's not really a replacement for Illustrator and is more a good replacement for progs like Freehand and Coreldraw.

That's how I felt it that its more the interface than functionality. Although I've never checked and compared with PhotoGimp

The latest flavor of trying to fix Gimp's UI by modifying it to look like Photoshop. These go back decades and usually end up being abandoned after a few years.

The whole premise is flawed. Gimp should be a viable program on its own, by having a UI that actually makes sense and not by copying the market leader, because this will always mean playing catch-up, it will always mean being seen as a lesser copy.
