| I like this question, because there are several alternatives to Premiere, one that I know of to Illustrator, but none to Ae that isn’t crazy expensive and a total re-learn. Since I use all of these almost daily in my work, plus AME and Bridge, the CC subscription seems suitable and reasonably priced. Once Adobe gets Dynamic Link figured out, they’ll be onto something (It still loses the links between Ae and Pr when I open an older project in Pr, making me relink each clip manually.). My main use for Ps is masking photos and creating plates for the “Kid Stays in the Picture” effect, and doing retouching and cleaning up old photos for doing moves in Pr or Ae. So, I’d need an alternative that supports masks I could paint on and selection tools like Magic Wand and Quick Selection, as well as cloning. And something like Content Aware Fill. For simple conversions between CMYK and RGB, basic functions and adjustments like scaling, cropping, curves, levels, etc. and batch conversions, Graphic Converter is cheap ($39 US). . |
