Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

Natron lol? Where did you get this from? Natron never really existed. Davinci has all the functions to replace AE.

Gimp sucks and should stop being mentioned as an alternative for anything.

Any recommendations for Lightroom?

I've always heard good things about Darktable as an alternative to Lightroom, but I do not have experience using it so irdk.

Alternatively there is always the high-seas version of Adobe CC. I wouldn't be too concerned with the ethics of it seeing as this is Adobe we're talking about 🤮.

been using Darktable for years now. had the same trouble with it as people going photoshop to gimp have at first, because my brain was all in lightroom. once i sat down and watched some videos of people explaining their own darktable process and experimented new workflows. it became everything lightroom was, but without the constantly scolding me about bumping my subscription adobe did.

Lol Free Software?

Trying to learn how to use Natron felt impossible. It's a very different approach to what it does and I could not even start to figure it out.

Is there a good alternative to Adobe PDF. I mostly use it the view, print and edit PDF's. Plus forms. I've tried a few, but editing so far has sucked.

How about the iinux version of AutoCAD?

[–] Scafir@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 month ago

Freecad is getting more and more attention. When version 1.0 releases (soon), it will be something worth checking out, but there is still work to do.
