If I’m using CC suite for InDesign/Lightroom/PS/Premiere Pro/Acrobat is there a cheap/free combination of options that actually replaces the functionality of those programs? Alternatively, are there any maritime options that will work and not come with Israeli malware? I don’t know enough about it anymore to confidently pick something that wouldn’t end up being more trouble to keep working than it’s worth.
I replaced CC with:
Affinity suite (v2, pre Canva, still works) for Photoshop/Illustrator/InDesign, it is pretty impressive if your Adobe workflow doesn’t rely heavily on plugins. The InDesign equivalent can do stuff to PDFs, but you won’t find the form builders etc. that Acrobat has.
Exposure x7 for a Lightroom-alike, it’s not as good (noticeably, highlight recovery from blown-out RAWs is much better in Lightroom) but it does the job for me
DaVinci Resolve for Premier
