A lot of those are paid extras. I know my Adobe CC didn't come with any stock credits.

mesh · a month ago

In general, they are included with CC.

Here is a quick side by side comparison between Apple Creator Studio and the Adobe Creative Cloud suite. Each app may be stronger or weaker depending on the use case, workflow, and specific user needs, so this is only a rough equivalence.

    Function            | Apple                | Adobe               | Adobe price / month
    --------------------|----------------------|---------------------|--------------------
    Image editing       | Pixelmator Pro       | Photoshop           | ~USD 20
    Video editing       | Final Cut Pro        | Premiere Pro        | ~USD 23
    Motion graphics     | Motion               | After Effects       | ~USD 23
    Audio production    | Logic Pro            | Audition            | ~USD 23
    Video encoding      | Compressor           | Media Encoder       | Included with Premiere Pro
    Live audio          | MainStage            | No direct equivalent| N/A
    Docs/presentations  | Keynote/Pages/Numbers| Express/Acrobat     | ~USD 10 to 24
    --------------------|----------------------|---------------------|--------------------
    TOTAL               | USD 12.99 / month    | ~USD 100+ / month   |
                        | (7 apps bundle)      | (5 apps separately)|
                        |                      | USD 69.99 / month  |
                        |                      | (bundle 20+ apps)  |

What this misses is that Creative Cloud is much more than a bundle of apps. It includes everything you need around the apps for pro workflows (i.e. fonts, AI, stock, collaboration, etc...).

Pixelmator probably is Lightroom. And adobe has "Photography Bundle" with Lightroom and Photoshop for $20/mo.

mesh · a month ago

No, Lightroom is a dedicated photo editor and DAM.

Pixelmator is closer to Photoshop, you can do some photo editing, but its not focused on it, and does not have asset management.

Relevant read is Chomsky's and Herman's Manufacturing Consent: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manufacturing_Consent

Basically, there has always been a strong bias and structural constraints toward US / elite views.

I think the core question is why trust has gotten particularly bad over the last decade (I have some ideas, including one side particularly trying to weaken trust in it).

I see generative remove as a killer app. All the time I have to remove dust spots or power lines or identifying information, for instance

https://mastodon.social/@UP8/115118299392929641

in that case it was pretty easy as the tag was a uniform shade of pink and I could just put a rectangle over the phone number but some cases are harder and the generative "fill" tools don't work that well.

mesh · 5 months ago

Yes. I think Generative Remove is a perfect example of a use of ai that augments the user. It of course possible to remove items in the past, but now it is much quick / easier.

There are still gaps sometime with quality and control, but both of those are improving at a rapid pace.

Who cares, it's Adobe. They'll eventually steal your work under some under-the-hood TOS update and even charge you for it. Don't believe me? Ask the existing CS customers. Fuck Adobe. They should be boycotted to oblivion.

That's great, those two things MOGRT and Transcript data support will unlock majority of the work, so we can edit based on in cue and out cue from transcript with overlay graphics. These are open for quite some time.

Sorry for the delay on this and hope you see this.

MOGRT support will be in the uxp 1.0 release. I dont have a specific date to share with you, but around end of summer time frame (subject to change). Will probably be in the beta builds before that, so I would keep an eye out over the next couple of weeks.

Transcriptions are not planned to be in the 1.0 (we are focusing on parity with CEP initially).

Hope that helps...
