The one feature that breaks it for me for professional work is that filters happen to a layer instead of being attached to them an are able to be changed on a whim. It's impossible to do any real work if you have to render and re-render every shadow on every text and object when its size changes.
I think I could do without everything else but that.
- kuschku 10y agoThat’s why I love Krita so much – it can do all those things, can do animation, and, partially, already 3D, too.
- erlehmann_ 10y agoFor this reason I use Inkscape for most things I used GIMP for in the past.
- damptowel 10y agoPhotoshop has 'smart filters' and 'smart objects' which do exactly what you describe.
- goatface 10y agoThe work you might have heard about GEGL - is all about providing foundations for such non-destructive editing. The highlighted split-view / curtain preview in the blog post is implemented using these new capabilities provided by GEGL. Adding new features that cement themselves as new things in the file format is part of GIMPs roadmap after GIMP-2.10 / 3.0. 2.10 / 3.0 are aiming to provide the same functionality that GIMP-2.6 / 2.8 provided but with GEGL as the core and thus higher bitdepth.
