thank you so much for the kind words!!! i love how yours is so interactive and lively compared to mine, plus it's colorful..it's so nice!

good luck!

@xyllria ty! Gonna make like three backups of this folder once I'm done I stg LOL

Gotta get yourself one of them portable SSDs

@tabf5 for real dude you're not kidding. would be so much easier for editing videos too instead of keeping all of the source clips on my internal storage

Gonna have to find a good alternative to their programs once I graduate because DAMN $600+ a year is *insane*. I miss the good old days when Photoshop was a one-time payment..........

finding a good alternative could work. you could also find other ways to keep using it without paying hundreds a year, i hear fmhy.net has some interesting solutions...

or you could YO HO HO 🏴‍☠️

I've heard Krita is used like photoshop sometimes but Im unsure! Even if i could afford it id like to think I wouldnt

i would suggest to use 'krita' if you draw in raster, or 'gimp' if you more into vector and/or photos

@xyllria yeah I've heard good things about Krita, but isn't that moreso used for digital art? I use Procreate for that and Photoshop is kinda my go-to for YT thumbnails and more graphic design oriented stuff. Either way I'll give it a look!

@klea78 oh whoops, didn't see this reply yet! I've heard so much about Gimp that I should really just check it out once and for all haha. I know Photopea is a pretty good browser-based alternative that I've used a few times, I just wish there were a standalone application version too.

@skigothy oh WOW i've never heard of this site before somehow

@tabf5 true!! where's my ship!!

I can show you how to get ahold of Adobe stuff easily BUT it might also be worth using GIMP. It's what I use since my needs are simple and I find it to be pretty okay if you don't need anything fancy. I would also have recommended Affinity Studio but they got bought by Canva and seem weird now. Or maybe it's still good idk
