minus-squarebort@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up25·edit-26 months ago Most Adobe tools don’t have any good free alternatives even for home use. inkscape is on a level with illustrator (maybe even better) for drawing: try krita if you want to pay money (much much less than for adobe): Affinity is on a level with fotoshop
