Gimp sucks.
And ps works with wine if you have it on windows already and drag over some system32 dlls
Gimp used to suck. Gimp 3 is amazing. Krita is great. Inkscape is OK.
Having all three requires less space than Photoshop and Illustrator and covers about every feature of both.
Gimp 3 is amazing.
Found the time traveler!
(The stable version of Gimp is 2.10.38, and even the latest dev snapshot – which is what I assume he means by “Gimp 3” – is technically “only” 2.99.18.)
Granted i havent tried gimp 3. Ill have to give it a try. But im so fast with ps. And i hate how each program needs to have their own control schemes to differentiate.
I just dont get why people hate photoshop to the point of being unhelpful when people ask how to get it working. Especially when many people are pirating it anyways.
you shouldn’t waste any time or energy on an adobe product. and if you think that advice is unhelpful then you literally can’t be helped.
It takes a while getting used to anything. Gimp does have a Photoshop keyboard shortcut preset, to ease you into it.
And gimp does have some parts that are better. For example importing a bunch of images and lining them up on a spritesheet is both faster and easier on Gimp. And both Photoshop and gimp have scripts to do this, but I was never able to get the Photoshop script to work.
The problem that arises is that you have to remember three different UIs and run them all simultaneously which I’ve measured use up more RAM, which sometimes reduces my efficency and increases my system resources more, instead of using the shit UI of Photoshop that the whole world decided to accept as the defacto standard to duplicate
It is all keyboard shortcuts, though, and you can configure them to all use the same ones. I believe they have a “Photoshop-like” preset you can select too.
About the RAM, I’m not sure what can be done. I guess it is a tradeoff. I’d probably go with more RAM consumption over Photoshop because I have a lot of RAM, but not everyone do. Considering the price of Photoshop if you didn’t pirate it, it would be cheaper to buy and install more RAM, though.
I’ve been using Gimp for simple things, and it’s been OK once I realized that whatever I want to do, I should look it up first instead of just trying to figure it out through trial and error.
I love this, buy fuck off with that anti-Linux content on Lemmy.
We only have few places. :)
Edit: unless we’re talking about servers and phones, in which case we have most of them
It’s already lost. Lemmy is mainly now just users that hate reddit (the company itself). It doesn’t have the same far-left/progressive and tech loving atmosphere it did only a few months ago.
edit: And yes, I do understand most of the population is moderate/centrist and not fans of free and open source software.
There just isn’t enough content. Yes, some interesting info and shared links, but I like my social media mixed up, as in, some serious thread, then a few jokes/shitposts, then some more serious threads. There isn’t enough of that any more.
And the rules in most funny/shitpost comms are kinda strict when it comes to comedy. So I just stopped posting stuff all together on most comms, except a few.
Ooooor, go to photopea. Dont need to download anything but just open a browser
I want context
You know that drawer with that pile of oldschool adapter shit from 25+ years ago laying around? Yeah…
Or just run it in a Windows VM and save yourself a ton of grief? Win10 LTSC works just fine.
