ArtCraft: Free, Open-Source Alternatives to Adobe's Full CC Suite
Brandon Thomas, a software engineer, has released ArtCraft: a free, open-source suite of apps covering the core Adobe Creative Cloud lineup, including Photoshop, Lightroom (non-Classic), Premiere, Illustrator, After Effects, InDesign, and Acrobat equivalents. Runs on macOS, Windows, and Linux. The source article is thin on actual capability details, which is the real unknown here: open-source Adobe alternatives have existed before (GIMP, Kdenlive, Darktable) with varying degrees of real-world usability, and PetaPixel's piece doesn't get into how these stack up on features photographers actually rely on. Worth watching if you're subscription-fatigued, but the article gives you the announcement, not a verdict.
