Adobe: trying to connect creators (no not you, you're too poor to buy our license)

There are way more affordable options out there, some are free.

  • For tablet painting: Krita and free
  • For photoshop: I use affinity, but Canvas just bought them. Not sure how they're going to be in the future. Canvas is evil. It's around $125/2 or 3 years or so. I haven't used Gimp in awhile, I might look at them again.
  • For Premiere Pro, Audition and After Effects: Buy the studio version of Davinci Resolve, it has all of them. It's a lifetime purchase and cheap if you think of that way. Don't lose your code though.
  • For 3D: Blender and free. It keeps getting better and better.

Still haven't found a good replacement for InDesign and let me tell you how much I'm hankering to move on

I'm assuming you've already tried Scribus? scribus.net

If not, worth a pop (again?). You can export an existing indesign project as an idml file, and import that into Scribus and see what's broken :)

How well it'll work is a little dependent on how complicated your projects are, or how embedded you are in Indesign or the wider Adobe ecosystem. In truth, I don't know the full extent of Indesign's abilities - but you can absolutely use Scribus to produce professional large scale graphics and short run publications etc for print though - though that's obviously a little dependent on what format/spec your printer wants off you.

If you're just using it for single page posters/graphics etc, Inkscape covers a lot of the same ground too.
