There are more options than Adobe and photoshop nowaways. Do you mainly use it for photo editing or something else? Alternative and open source software have come a long way. For example, Krita is great for digital painting, Inkscape is good for vector graphics, GIMP isn't too bad for photo editing... I've found a lot of alternatives for things I thought I had to do in Adobe.
@pixelglade i use photoshop mostly for """work""" stuff, like making some basic insta posts for a company. tbh the only reason i haven't ditched it yet is pure habit, i've been using it for years and i'm just used to it. but after almost blowing up my pc, i've been thinking about switching to something safer (and easier to download too) 😭 i'll check out your suggestions, thanksss
there’s photopea as well which is basically ‘photoshop but completely online’ but the issue is more the online part, but it is completely free and the often touted alternative if you want a 1:1 photoshop. if i could id offer you my cracked version of photoshop but idr personally where i got mine from 😭
Canva could be suitable for instagram post creation, especially if you purchase the pro subscription. Which like, ew, hate that, but it serves me well. Also if it means anything, your site immediately stuck out to me and I visit rather frequently!
@pixelglade affinity photo does sound good, i'll check it out! @zhongvie i think i've heard of photopea a few times but never actually used it, i've always been kinda against online tools lol, but it might be useful so i'll give it a try.
and @evilperson, i also have a love-hate thing with canva, but it's super handy for instagram posts, i've used it a few times and liked it. also your comment about my site made me really happy, fr!! thanks everyone for the tips!

A paid option is Affinity Photo if you wanted to look into that as well
