you can’t draw a circle in gimp?
There’s no “Shape” tool. You could just select a circular area in an empty layer and fill it though.
You can, it is very unintuitive though. You draw the shape using the eilpse tool and set a border for the selection.
It’s not hard, but there is really no way to figure this out without ever looking for a tutorial.
It’s absolutely stupid design and more difficult than it needs to be.
I’ll say it - Photoshop is infinitely more intuitive than gimp for the average person. Sure, if you are fucking determined, I’m sure you can figure it out eventually. You can even make it work. But if you say it is easier than Photoshop, you are wrong.
I love FOSS stuff but way too many people are delusional about the pros and cons of it. There are absolutely cons.
I stand with op.
GIMP 2 is utter dogshit in terms of user experience.
GIMP 3, the version that is supposed to make everything easier, hasn’t been released yet. ^(it’s been years and I have given up hoping)
The situation sucks, but there aren’t that many developers working on GIMP in the first place. Certainly not as many as Photoshop.
