      I was going to say that Affinity, DxO and DaVinci are right there as free/non-subscription options.

      But yeah, going open source is even better, though sometimes a bit of a workflow shift if you’re already used to something like lightroom and you go for darktable, for example. There’s also Rawtherapee for photos but I never tried that one.

      I hear kdenlive is a very capable NLE, though I don’t do much video work myself, so I’ve not used it.

      InDesign has never struck me as doing much different than any other DTP software, of which there’re plenty of open source options, scribus gets cited a lot

      Inkscape has always been pretty decent for vector stuff

      Audition has never been much more than a fancy audacity
