Honestly fed up with Photoshop constantly crashing during my freelance client edits. Im working on a tight deadline in Chicago and this is killing my vibe. I tried Midjourney for assets but its not enough. Are there actual workflow tools that dont suck? What are you guys using that is actually stable for professional layouts?

Man, I feel your pain. Photoshop crashes are the absolute worst when you have a deadline looming. I got so tired of the bloat that I finally switched most of my layout stuff over to Affinity Designer 2 Universal License. Honestly, it is a total game changer for my wallet too since you just pay once and own it. No more subscription stress for me.
- Affinity Designer 2 Universal License for the heavy lifting, it is super stable.
- Topaz Labs Gigapixel AI if you need to upscale assets without the usual lag. I have been using this setup for months now and am genuinely happy with the performance. My machine barely even heats up compared to when I was running Adobe. Definitely worth looking into if you want to save some cash and keep your sanity intact.
