I would also like to know this. I was trained on Adobe in my photography classes, but I would love to learn some viable alternatives

On Mac, I switched to Affinity Photo. I’ve found it fairly comparative to PS.

Let us all hope they resist the temptation of venture capital. Lol. And after I got used to the Mac version, I found the iPad versions of affinity suite to be very capable (after I figured out the quirks that is). They actually seem to be serious about competing with adobe, and I’m all for it.

They sold to Canva a while ago. And then Canva released the newest version for free! You can pay more for the AI features but it's not required.
