Posted by benny in FreeWare on February 2nd, 2010 | 4 responses
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,

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…
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 !
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.
image software GIMP
dont think there is free versions of dreamweaver or flash
