What are the Open source software than will replace photo-shop, flash and dreamweaver?
I need equivalent open source software for Adobe photo-shop, Macromedia flash and Adobe Dreamweaver.
Kindly suggest me only open source software only.
Thanks in advance,
Selva
GIMP (http://www.gimp.org) is a good replacement for PhotoShop.
There are several good free programs for creating web-pages. One is Amaya (http://www.w3.org/Amaya), but there are others too. The best one is probably Quanta, but that is a Linux-program. Personally, I find it best to use an old-fasion text-editor.
Flash is unfortunately a proprietary format *owned by* Adobe, so you really can’t find any good alternative. Under Linux there is Ming, a library for making Flash, but it uses commands in scripts, and not interactivity. For pure animations, SVG (look at http://www.w3.org) may be an alternative… and lot’s of stuff can be reproduced using (X)HTML and CSS — perhaps together with JavaScript. But there are no real alternative to neither the Flash-format nor to the Flash-creator application (because it’s a closed format). Personally, I think one should avoid using Flash as much as possible, anyway…
image software GIMP
dont think there is free versions of dreamweaver or flash
Not sure about Flash and Dreamweaver, but GIMP is probably the best open source replacement software you’ll find for replicating Photoshop. Pretty powerful from what I hear.
photoshop equivalent – The Gimp
Dreamweaver equivalent – Aptana is good, but there’s plenty of other text editiors.
Flash – no real open source equivalent – although you can author *.swf files in Aptana/Flex and never need open Flash. Alternatively, just use JavaScript and Ajax instead !
