And yes, there are great open-source tools (calibre comes to mind). I’ve seen my share of vocal communities centered around certain open-source products and most of the time, that product does certain things better than the commercial industry standard, but fails or misses out on a bunch of features that the commercial product has.Īnd don’t get me wrong, there is always a place for open-source products, namely, anytime you don’t want to spend money, which often applies to me.

But there is definitely a reason why their software continues to be popular. I’m not specifically referring to Adobe products. It’s just that on average, you can expect less trouble and more polish with commercial software, in my opinion. It's believable if you've only used an older version or only use it rarely. You can be stricken from consideration for lying on your application, so I wouldn't admit you've never touched it if you're going that route. I'd also suggest watching a few photoshop tutorials if you are going to put it on your resume, so you can at least be believable ("I've used it a bit but I mainly use X") and know what the equivalent tools are called in it.

There's more of a disparity between using Maya vs Blender I've found than photoshop vs a free program. But the best way to get hired (for art) is a good portfolio or connections. Obviously cater to what's in the listing and research the company. I've applied to stuff where I don't have all the programs on my resume and still got a follow up or an interview. And a lot of them are more willing to let you learn on the job or teach you a program. (And if you're applying to a small branch of a big studio, that might also be the case though you might not know it until you're interviewing with them). In my experience they tend to be portfolio first and foremost and then they read your resume, for artists at least. I was talking indie studios with like <10 people. That being said, I absolutely agree with you that the skills transfer, and so the open source options are a great way to break in before you're doing a lot. Krita covers a lot of where GIMP fails, but definitely has more slowness and rough patches than Photoshop. The cost is negligible compared to the benefit if you use it professionally.

Not that Inkscape, GIMP, and video editors like Olive aren't usable, but I simply don't see why a professional would ever prefer them over what Adobe offers. However, when it comes to video editing, photo editing, and vector graphics, I unfortunately have to admit that for any professional level of work Adobe is still king. In coding VSCode is quite good, especially for web dev, and really only the JetBrains IntelliJ-based products have any significant edge over it, and it's a very slight, arguable edge. It depends a lot on the area, Blender for example is excellent and in a decent number of areas superior to its paid counterparts, and it's particularly impressive for how much of an all-in-one tool it is. Especially when the rest of the team works from Windows. But requires some tricky actions to make it work for something non-standard.

So, overall - it should work on small and/or simple projects. Or when a week ago I tried to work with WWISE integration in another project, it even failed to compile the project because it had some Windows-specific things inside (and it doesn't seem like it can have multiple Editor integrations at all, at least I gave up trying at some point). Also it throws some additional (fake?) error messages, I even gave up creating corresponding issues at some point. in an Augmented Reality game we're developing it for some reason blocks keyboard input, no idea why, but I can't run the simulation properly because it doesn't react to WASD, only to touchpad/mouse. I run Unity quite fine on my cheap laptop with Linux - can do some basic programming or UI design.
