Unfortunately the entire market looks like this. You have to normalize the graph against the S&P to see how they’re really doing.
Unlike the last guy, I have not gained knowledge. What do these words mean?
It means because of a orange guy and his tariffs the whole market is down. So we have to compare it with whole market. If it has fallen more than half of stocks, then we can say it just adobe's fault and not just market's fault. To get this idea we take the average of stocks which S&P500 which shows the average stock price for 500 biggest companies.
Thank you - I have acquired new knowledge.
I wish you a beautiful downfall Abode
I’d rather it be really ugly but I’ll take whatever gets us there.
Here is a list of foss Adobe related stuff:
-
Kdenlive
-
Gimp
-
Krita
-
Okular or SummatraPDF
Is there one for aftereffects?
Yes - pirated aftereffects.

Blender 3D Artist here:
If you already use Blender and want Inkscape-like functionality, grease pencil has gotten REALLY impressive! Worth checking out! But let's talk about materials real quick:
I personally got burned when I dropped hard-earned cash on Substance and they sold out from under us.
It might not be 1:1 for the most powerful features found in Alegorithmic's traitorware, but the PBR Painter add-on has been AWESOME for painting materials in Blender.
There are some other add-ons for materials and advanced effects too.
(For designing, I'm glad fo see Material Maker mentioned! It's impressive and legit! I hope that project goes far!)
I honestly think a majority of that stuff is totally doable in Blender right now, add-ons just make it easier and/or a bit more efficient, and these devs are worth supporting.
Armorpaint looked pretty cool, but is it still being developed? Seems like it's been awfully quiet, which is a shame because it seemed very promising!
It's sad because Substance was the ONE time I relented and said "Hey, maybe this commercial software will be really worth it." Fool me once.
Illustrator is used for a lot of things other than illustration, so I wouldn't recommend blender to replace it but if you're thinking about 2d animation, ironically blender3d is one of the best 2d animation software out there. and very powerful since it can be used strictly 2d or in conjunction with its 3d capabilities that open up lots of possibilities.
I'm still using the 2018 Substance, which is the last one for which there was a proper license (which I have). Then Adobe bought the Allegorithmict and turned that suite into a subscription application.
Still works fine and apparently the software hasn't significantly improved ever since it turned into a subscription.
By the way, cheers for mentioning PBR Painter - I added it to my list of possible replacements.
I have never seen that penguin logo in my life.
It's Linux.
Isn't it supposed to be Tux?
I think they just looked up "Linux logo" and just looked for an icon that matched the same theme as the windows and MacOS icons.
I've seen that icon before but idk where. Probably from some icon pack maybe?
Hence my use of "that" not "a."
Where Fl :(
I think it is better to focus on foss when you can. This is more of a list of alternative companies to Adobe.
Cool graphic though
Foss has the most standout icon
Some poor pickings for acrobat there. Why no okular?
Honestly, depending on what you need it for, there may not be an alternative. I’ve tried a bunch over the years, and most don’t handle overprint, don’t have colour management settings, don’t know about the more complex shading types or type 3 fonts, etc.
There are specialised software packages that do know about these, but they are closed source and expensive, and then ignore other parts of the PDF spec like 3D or animation.
Acrobat is awful bloatware that somehow still lacks basic functionality - but it’s the only one I know of that covers pretty much all of PDF.
I have wondered this for a while, what is it you do that requires such intensive editing of PDFs?
Both at work and at home PDF is sort of a "read only format" for me.
I get it for things that should not be edited (e.g. invoices) and export it myself for things that should not be edited (e.g. finished documentation). The only "editing" of PDF files that I rarely do is filling out PDF forms or signing a PDF, which most readers can do.
PDF, as it evolved from PostScript, is the de facto standard for most print jobs. Commercial print (think magazines and flyers), packaging, large format (e.g. billboards), books, many textile prints, etc. They all use PDF extensively. And very often those PDFs are print technically garbage. Fixing that in the original application is either not possible or, more frequently, requires knowledge the designers simply don’t have. So the print shop’s prepress department does it in PDF directly.
I use Shotcut for video editing. Haven't seen that mentioned here yet.
Kdenlive
Blender has a really good video editor built in.
Blender can do video editing but I wouldn't recommend using Blender unless you are already using other Blender features.
Kdenlive is a proper video editor and is actually designed for purely video editing. Just because you can do it with Blender doesn't mean you should.
please don't edit videos in Blender, that sounds like masochism
it's not open source but i will always recommend Davinci Resolve, by far the best video editing sodtware i've used and it's free! (well 95% of it is, it's fully functional and outstanding without paying a cent but if you want some extra presets especially for the colour grading stage then you gotta pay. how i see it is that it's free software with a few built in ads for an effects package)

Excel probably does too.
I do all my video editing in emacs

Adobe's name is mud right now.
Yeah fucking tank adobe you piece of shit
My guess is that Canva and Figma are 90% of the reason why people are no longer confident in Adobe as a company.
Figma-balls xD gottem
(I have no idea what these are plz explain)
Figma is a vector drawing app that was originally for UX design (an Adobe XD competitor), but they just added a bunch of graphic design tools that compete with Adobe Illustrator.
Canva does a lot of raster and vector image editing that originally targeted people that were not design pros, but they’ve been adding a lot of features that allow people to make some professional quality stuff stuff with ease.
All in all, both companies are growing into the spaces Adobe dominated. If you were a UX designer who needed to occasionally use Illustrator for a more detailed illustration, maybe you no longer need that Adobe CS license.

Still too high!
Why did Adobe start tanking after the start of the year?
.... Didn't everything?
They are down significantly harder than the S&P 500, despite logically being in a market that shouldn't be as vulnerable to things like tariffs.
Am I missing something? What does Blender have that overlaps with an Adobe product?
