in reply to Jen C Mars • • •For those who can't afford commercial software, and for those who want full flexibility and extensibility and future-proofing the ability to open their own art work years from now, there's free open source software:
* #Krita: replaces Adobe Photoshop for editing and painting; https://krita.org/
* #Inkscape: multi-page, replaces Adobe Illustrator and Adobe InDesign; great for scientific figures and posters; https://inkscape.org/
* #Gimp: image editor, with layers and transparencies; replaces Adobe Photoshop; https://www.gimp.org/
* #MyPaint: just for painting; https://mypaint.app/
* #FijiSc: for image processing and image analysis, with conventional computer vision techniques and also machine learning. Handles multi-dimensional bioimagery. https://fiji.sc
* #Blender: for 3D animation and video editing; https://blender.org
* #ffmpeg: command-line based video editing; see this page https://ffmpeg.lav.io/ for testing out commands.
I don't use anything else: there's no need. And all of the above are extensively documented.
