-Evaluate the needs with the users/devs. -Evaluate the costs. -Fix a delay to the devs. -Do not migrate all at once everyone. -Make multiple tests with an experienced user until he gives you the green light to progressively deploy the software one by one slowly and get feedback.
>there's pretty much 0 alternatives to After Effect Same problem same solution. If you consider being stuck with a software that dictates how you work demands less efforts than the other solution for you then do not change anything. But you know that it won't get better over time.
>over someone who just makes a meme image once in a while If you want to go that path I wouldn't trust someone who hasn't worked over 100 hours a week with people for a decade without salary.
Bs banter aside. I'm speaking about global computer park decisions. Do you think that users want to consider all the variables you take when you configure a park or design software ? Yes and no they'll consider the ones that are useful to them for their goals, not yours, which can impeded your own design if you don't find a compromise or just put a break to the non productive demands. In the end you have to consider the productivity of your users and your own. I consider that proprietary software goes in the complete opposite of productivity, long term speaking, because they often kill any flexibility and security in computer management. And every week there's proof of that in the news, news that was predicted more than 30 years ago.
>renting an apartment is paying for an authorization to board in it I said legally, not the interpretation of what people think they're doing. Read the MS EULA for example it's clearly stated and it's not a rent nor something that permanently sold to you.
@pernia @fluffy @xianc78 >lack of competition is the biggest most obvious problem with tech Something something closed/secret protocols/sourcecode, no schematics.
Social services confirmed that no help exists for caterer and that my fam can die. Oh except this sort of help, the person said that we can approach banks and take a loan to pay our taxes.
@hakui >this is why people in the industry are using something that is already proven to work That I understand, because good results implies good foundations. Sadly this is a fallacious reasoning.
>and are willing to pay rent for it They aren't paying a rent. They are paying for an authorization to use it, big difference legally speaking.
Also non destructive editing is pretty much a must nowadays. As far as I know some of GEGL parts are being rewriting for that.

mangeurdenuage@coolboymew >Will the team be able to use GIMP and any of these softwares? It all depends on what is decided between management and devs. You won't know if you never take the initiative of proposing a solution for your company. Contact the Gnu Image Manipulator Program developers to see if any render-vous can be made to evaluate what is needed to migrate. After evaluation you need to estimate cost etc....
@hakui >also companies pay for something that works, not something that promises to maybe be usable some time in the next decade Any tools cost money/time. Everyone is asking for tools that works. Some tools can't be made without a financial investments in this case because of the time it takes to create such amounts of working code.

mangeurdenuage>Name me a professional alternative to Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effect and the two animation flash replacement that isn't Gimp Will your company pay for GIMP ? Maybe that would make the project be able to afford a full time team. Also for similar flash animation go see Synfig studio, and same as Gimp they need money to have more developers.
