For Photoshop, not a whole lot. Gimp has a bunch of features that Photoshop has, but not all and it has a different flow. Krita is in the same boat as Gimp where it’s close, but still isn’t PS.
For a more up-to-date list:
Unmaintained. See link above for up-to-date. Fleshed out List. Suggestions will still be considered for main article.
NOTE: One time purchase products or free only. Linux and OSS not prioritized as they generally aren’t viable for pro workflows in the first place. The ones that are viable will be included.
I’m not an expert in every creative Field so I’ll be filling out the ones I know personally and will take suggestions as discussion develops. Might turn it into a wiki as it nears completion.
F indicates there’s a non-trial free version available, , , indicates platform support(Mac, Windows, Linux respectively), OSS indicates open source. If you cant see the unicode symbols you can still paste them into your page search to highlight them, or install a proper unicode font.
