Adobe CS3 for FREE? It’s the Alternatives

This must have made your day if it was true. But don’t fret, CNET TV has made a video of Adobe CS3’s FREE alternatives. You might be quite disappointed right now, but hey it’s FREE. It might not be the real Adobe CS3 but for a cost of $0, it’s more than a bargain. You won’t even waste a significant portion of your time testing out these free alternatives.

Note: Some Adobe CS3 free alternatives are for Windows users only

I compiled a list along with links to Adobe CS3’s free alternatives. This is old news but it’s worth diggin’.

Acrobat = PrimoPDF
Software used to create PDFs. PDFs are used as a way to present information with a fixed layout similar to a paper publication. -Wikipedia

After Effects = Jahshaka
A digital motion graphics and compositing software. It can be used in film and video post-production. -Wikipedia

Dreamweaver = KompoZer or NVU
A Web development tool.

Flash = Synfig Studio
A multimedia authoring program used to create content such as Web applications, games and movies. -Wikipedia

Illustrator = Inkscape
A vector-based drawing program.

InDesign = Scribus
A desktop publishing application.

Photoshop = The Gimp or Paint.NET
An image manipulation program.

Soundbooth = Audacity
A digital audio editor.

Check out the screenshots for the Adobe CS3 free alternatives.

    Well, I think PrimoPDF simply kicks-ass, anything that is FREE and goes against ADOBE is my best new friend!

    Agree, I would rather pay extra to have the legit version. I don’t have to pay much anyways because I get the student discount!
