Yoo this is basically free Adobe
the ArtCraft team is rebuilding the whole Adobe suite as free, open-source apps, written from scratch in Rust. they run on Mac, Windows and Linux, and some of them work right in your browser
here's what each one replaces:
1. PhotoCraft = Photoshop (image editing, layers, masks, brushes, and it opens real PSD files)
2. VectorCraft = Illustrator (vector illustration)
3. FilmCraft = Premiere (video editing)
4. LightCraft = Lightroom (photo library and raw editing)
5. PrintCraft = Acrobat (read, organize, combine, split and secure PDFs)
6. EffectCraft = After Effects (motion graphics and VFX)
7. DesignCraft = InDesign (page layout and publishing)
the honest part, up front:
- these are early. PhotoCraft and PrintCraft are labeled early alpha. the other 5 say "in development"
- expect bugs and missing features. don't move a client project over yet
- free and open source. no subscription
- installers are already up for all 7
do this (5 minutes):
2. pick the app that replaces the Adobe tool you pay for or use the most
3. download it and open one real file (a PSD, a PDF, a photo)
4. comment which one you tried and if it actually worked
if enough of us test these, I'll make a video on the best one
I read every one
