Not my meme, I stole it from someone else. You wouldn't know them, they go to a different community.

To any artists out there wondering what else they could use. These are some pretty decent alternatives.
Check these foss tools out:
-
Don't forget darktable as a lightroom alternative
-
Darktable is way to hard for me to use.
-

Just switched to krita recently for drawing and it's so great, the setup is pretty much like photoshop, with all the tool i ever needed.
I don't even know why i bothered using photoshop to begin with.
And yeah blender is the OG of 3D.
-
Does Krita have actions, macros, scripting, or perhaps batch commands?
-
I never used that, depend on what you want to do but i don't think there is a good builded in way...
So i guess you can look for some other macro tools or using a python script.
-
I'll check it out, but I'm also learning Python scripting in GIMP, and I found a really nice batch plugin called BIMP that can do things like crop, resize, and much more on many files at once.
Although I hear the python-fu thing is going away in version 3.0, and instead you're just supposed to use a code library in a standalone Python script. The python-fu thing is handy because it adds new menu items for the scripts you make for easy access.
-
Interesting, maybe it will be worth looking into for myself too, because right now i'm only using the macro's menu of my huiton pen, and it's limited to keyboard shortcuts.
And I just checked it, you can have scripts in krita too. So i guess if your learning python scripting you may want to try krita's api, I'm gonna have a peek too when I get the chance.

Kdenlive is miles more capable than OpenShot Also Kubuntu? That's a OS? Works if you're trying to replace windows but don't think any artist would replace it as a "alternative tool"
-
The one and only time I tried to use kdenlive, it blackscreened my PC and when I booted back up, my Linux Mint showed in the boot menu as just Ubuntu. I went right back to Openshot.
-
I... How the fuck-
-
Dunno, all I was doing was trying to crop the black bars off a 1 minute video clip.

Fwiw, I've tried to use OpenShot and it sucked hard. Granted, this was on Windows and it was several years ago (3~4yrs), so it may have gotten better (or it might be way better on Linux), but I ended up switching to davinci resolve because OpenShot literally couldn't deal with anything above 720p without crashing. I couldn't complete any university assignments with it. Even just clipping the ends of a video was causing it to crash. Unless OpenShot has gotten significantly better on windows, that's a good example of a place where a pro-quality FOSS alternative doesn't really exist.
-
Kdenlive is a thing. Honestly though using DaVinci is fine, it's even Linux native.
-
Oh that's interesting. I wonder if its any better now for you if you're interested in trying. It could have been a codec + windows issue at play too.
There's a few other alternatives for that tool but I can't think of their names atm.
-
Kdenlive perhaps?
