Not really about GIMP but for people who look for an alternative to Photoshop, I can really recommend Affinity Photo. It's actually on a sale right now on Windows Store at least. Unfortunately it doesn't support Linux like GIMP does but it's a really viable alternative to Photoshop for Mac/Windows users.
I used to pay for Photoshop, but it's so darn expensive and I even had to pay to get out of my subscription plan. Affinity Photo cost like one or two months of Photoshop and isn't a subscription service.
- gilrain 9y agoAffinity is a fantastic alternative to Photoshop, GIMP, or any other raster manipulation program focused on photos. I'd like to back up this recommendation: for the (one-time) price, it's amazing. I don't miss anything from Photoshop, and the UI is incredibly effective and consistent. I guess the people in this thread are only interested in open source alternatives, because I can't imagine anyone objecting to it on its merits!
- prokoudine 9y agoI don't get why you are being downvoted. Affinity Photo is fantastic software.
- torstenvl 9y agoMaybe the problem exists between the keyboard and the chair, but I've found Affinity very clunky to use and can't figure out how to do even simple things in it.
- gilrain 9y agoThey have a really great series of free, official videos on Vimeo which go over individual features and workflows. They got me up, running, and comfortable faster than any other graphical tool so far. It's similar to learning Blender through really good YouTube tutorials, except official and more comprehensive, so you spend less time searching.
