Editorial tools

Hello

My name is João and I am new in the group. I work as editorial designer in São Paulo, Brazil and I am not a developer. I’m looking for alternatives to proprietary software and I didn´t find an alternative for that. Could someone help me with this information?

Best

Hello João and welcome to the group.

What proprietary software have you used for your job?
I would recommend you have a look at Scribus, one of the best publishing open source software out there. There’s also GIMP for raster editing, Krita for paintings/comics, sort of like Photoshop, and my favorite one, Inkscape, for vector creation and editing.

If you need help with any of them, you can just ask.

Cheers,
Anxhelo

Hello Anxhelo

Thank you for your answer and sorry about my late answer. I used to use Indesign for my main jobs.
One of the biggest problems of it is the constant updating of the software, so I am not able to open some archives on Scribus. I like Scribus but I don´t know what to do with my latest works.

Thank you again.
