Adobe has been at the forefront of image and video software for decades. Photoshop and Lightroom have long been the industry-standards for professional photographers, while many filmmakers have been lured away from Apple's Final Cut Pro towards Premiere Pro, not to mention other filmmaking tools such as After Effects and Audition.
In recent years, though, some have started wondering if they should stick with Adobe. Subscription prices are now very expensive, while rival options that are cheaper and subscription-free have improved immensely. Most notably Serif's Affinity Photo is highly comparable to Photoshop in most respects.
