But seriously, how do you do it?

Circular selection, fill?

Or, for an annulus: circular selection, border, enter border width, fill.

Or, for any selection in general: edit, stroke selection.

Isn’t that how you do that in Photoshop?

For a certified maniac there’s also one bump of a brush with 100% hardness and using gradient tool, radial, with no actual gradations.

And if you are feeling like killing a school bus of puppies, you can put a coin or a mug to the screen with one hand while drawing around it with the other, using a live mouse, biting you, as you move it and hallucinate the formation of the ideal circular form.

The same way you do it in Photoshop, really

Choose the circular pattern on the pencil tool and set the width to your desired diameter.

Krita has an ellipse tool which turns into circle with shift (ctrl and alt and ctr+alt also do nice things) but I wasn’t even aware of it existing before looking right now. It’s probably also been my first time opening Krita without wearing a tablet glove.

Got to say that I had some trouble with that on gimp, but it’s possible!

I like how stock photoshop refuses to run with wine not because Adobe cares about linux but because of the insane amount of DRM that harasses you on Windows.

Meaning pirated photoshop runs fine on wine lol

I think there’s even a github script to do it all for you with gpu acceleration enabled so you don’t have to even bother finding a pirate copy.

Okay but starting a lesson on Photoshop with the circle tool is like starting a lesson on Word with inserting a table. If working with abstract shapes is your modus operandi something like Illustrator or Inkscape makes a lot more sense as a tool.

Also beating up your students on the parking lot sound very fun to end the day but have no value in education

The beatings will continue until Photoshop is mastered.

Dude… idk if I know if I’ve ever seen a more accurate simile than that. Equally “buggy*”, frustrating, and absurd if you have little to no experience with it

*idr word tables well but I suspect it was like pen tool where it wasn’t so much buggy as it’s hard to make it work right if you don’t get it yet

Some of my more memorable experiences in gentoo over the years have been from trying to trim everything I can out from my kernel. It tends to work, until it doesn’t.
