In follow-up to my process post, here’s a list (downloaded from Twitter a few years back) of Adobe software alternatives separated by category (photo, vector, prepress, layout, animation etc). I can vouch for Clip Studio Paint (in place of Photoshop), Affinity Publisher (in place of InDesign), and Olive (in place of Premiere). Making the switch to Clip Studio Paint and Affinity Publisher was pretty smooth. Olive had a much steeper learning curve but how often do you get to learn new things?
