Affinity going on sale while Adobe fiasco is runnung is such a smart move.
@krystofkuh
Are you kidding me? I just started looking for adobe alternatives and this video comes out? Talk about perfect timing.
@DefiningDave
This is what we need more of, YouTubers showing people that there ARE alternatives. Too many folks act like Adobe is the only option and that we all need to ask them nicely to treat us well. I've been using alternatives for a decade. Affinity Photo, Designer, and Publisher, with paid DaVinci audio and video solutions. Capture One is far superior to Lightroom (although they are following the Adobe business model now). Thanks for this, Brad. This is how we inspire change in the industry.
@AdamBelis
Inkscape has a life trace feature and did have it for like 10 years
@timcameron9023
imagine pissing off your customers that badly that peeps make videos on how to put you out of biz 🙂
@padcraftingvideosandfiles8013
Correction: Inkscape does have live trace. Other apps missing from the AI comparator list: VectorStyler, Logoist5
@Dantti
Blender is awesome with 2D animation! Grease pencil is also vector based and beats animate 100-0 and it supports texture brushes. I have lots of tutorials on my channel ❤

Tenacity Is a Fork of Audacity, there was a drama back then that a Russian company put Telemetry in Audacity so many forked Audacity.
@smootheturtle
Inkscape DOES have a live trace feature! It's not perfect, but it's pretty good. I often use it to trace JPEGs, then copy the SVG into Affinity Designer.

I will sing the good word of Da Vinci and Blackmagic Design forever because I love me some Da Vinci Resolve. The Fusion editor is kinda weird to figure out with the whole nodes thing but once you get it I think its pretty cool
@MadNekUA
Dont forget the most important thing regarding FOSS. Free is not about money, is about freedom.
@BimManagerPro
I see CapCut and Canva are missing from that list. Also, just a heads up—Photopea starts charging if you use certain tools more than once within two hours or 80 minutes.
@ImmacHn
5:51, I use Krita, a lot, and it's very responsive, you might have missed a setting or something.
@kaichidraws7787
I've been turning raster images to vector for ages in inkscape. I usually do it with logos and icons. The feature is called Trace Bitmap.
@zendragon6
I heard you say “if” you were going to break away fully from Adobe. I hope you do. The more popular YouTubers like you can break away from Adobe and really show alternatives and use them in your reviews, the more Adobe will have to take notice where they are failing as a company, and it will help to break their monopoly on some of these products.
@marenjones6665
I appreciate that Linux comparability is on the chart. After Microsoft Recall was announced, I jumped ship.
@timmehjimmeh
I'm a bit of a stuck record on this end, but as someone with a lot of ad agency and animation studio clients, Adobe has a strangle hold on the industry. There's just things you cannot do if you aren't in the ecosystem as your clients. If I was 100% independent I'd have jumped ship to Affinity, Procreate and Blender years ago. But because my bread and butter work is done in After Effects with art supplied as Illustrator files from client, I can't ditch Adobe any time soon. Especially with the array of plugins I've collected over time to make my work better and faster.
@Jj82op
Long live Krita! It's 100% one of the best software out there and for sure the best for free. All kinds of tools and features, available on every platform except for iPad because it doesn't play well with OSS licenses. If also has good tools for vector illustration, animation and many people prefer it instead of GIMP, you might want to have an independent program for each use case but it's good that you have the option. Fun fact: it's the first (and maybe only) to feature live HDR painting for windows PCs. I can also vauch for Darktable, still only doing basic stuff with it but it works great, just need to be patient while learning. GIMP, Inkscape and Scribus have been updating recently, I'll be trying them soon. A program not "feeling snappy" is most subjective nitpicky thing lmao.
