How much does Photoshop cost now?
$20 a month, no way to buy lifetime subscription, $50 a month to get all adobe products
Until recently their Creative Cloud subscription was $12. It includes Photoshop, 1TB cloud storage, Light room and a couple of smaller tools aimed at photographers. But it got pushed up to $20 because of inflation. My yearly subscription renewed a couple of months ago for the old price, so I’m lucky for now.
But it got pushed up to $20 because of inflation.
please stop propagating this bullshit. It got pushed because of greed.
SaaS
The end times basically
You can’t own a copy and you rent your usage by the month.
Really? I thought it’s cloud based nowadays and therefore csn’t be found on the high seas anymore.
Open inkscape Draw circle Export bmp Open as layers 😹
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.
Seriously though, why there is no shape tool in Gimp?
Because creative FOSS is usually terrible, their methods demolish the flow of an average creative worker with constant "No, it doesn’t work like that "-type interruptions.
Intuitive functionality is never a priority and never done right. If anything it seems to be viewed as sacriliege to sacrifice clean and simple code for the base instincts of an ignorant user.
I remember finding some comments from people being pissed that Blender got an Undo function. Felt like I was living in a bizarro world.
Eh? More of a GIMP-specific issue. Krita, Kdenlive, and Inkscape for example are all fantastic, not to mention Blender
It’s like a traditional martial art, you must first master arbitrarily complicated forms before, maybe, being able to make something useful of it it in ten years.
“UMMM what the fuck is that, anon?”
“it’s a great open-source software called mind your own fucking business”
