I’m cheap and have used GIMP, Scribus, Inkscape and Paint.NET for professional work at my job (where I’m basically our one-man marketing and web department). So I’ve had to “make do” with a wide range of free software for a long time. And I may or may not have used a cracked Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator at home, also.
But man, I gotta say the quality and efficiency of my work has improved 10-fold after I bought the Affinity suite (no subscription, and its license allows me to use it commercially too, even though I bought it personally - I love that!)
And I may or may not have used a cracked Photoshop
Installing cracked Photoshop is basically a rite of passage for many. My first cracked program was Photoshop 6 that my photography friend gave me back in high-school when I was stuck on dial-up and they had cable.
