This is Jehan Pages, the top developer behind GIMP, a free open source photo editor. Adobe executives hate Jehan. Because of his hard work, Adobe lost millions of dollars (lemmy.world)

Isn't that for pdf editing?

Yes. Bluebeam Revu can do everything Adobe Acrobat can do (better imo).

Acrobat is still a product of Adobe, which is why I brought Bluebeam up.

I know this thread is about GIMP vs Adobe Photoshop, but OP of this comment thread said that Adobe has a monopoly over every business use. Not the case in the construction world

Ah right, got you.

Bluebeam is so powerful that I feel the way it's used in some construction companies is like how corporate uses excel. In that it has gone beyond what it was initially intended for and has become the primitive around which they work.
