I use Gimp a lot but I still think Photoshop is way ahead. For example I don't know why the author thinks Gimp has tight typography controls.
I always struggle with typography in Gimp while in Photoshop it's so easy.
And I never understood why they use layer bounds in Gimp. Sometimes I think this is more a technical reason than a UX reason. It just always gets in the way.
And why should I create a layer from something I paste? I never understood why someone would need this extra step.
Gimp is great software. I am very happy it is available. But I'm not sure it you can call this A grade professional software.
- Mirioron 7y agoI'm not too experienced with GIMP, but I noticed that all the transformation of a selection in GIMP is done with a tool. In Photoshop if I quickly want to scale, rotate, and reposition a selection then I can do that with the controls around the selection. With GIMP I have to select the scale tool, scale, then select the rotation tool, rotate, then select the move tool and move it. Have I just not found how to turn those controls on? Because it feels inconvenient. I do love that the undo history is in a prominent position on the UI.
- ngold 7y agoI think what Gimp is lacking is a monthly subscriber fee, and a lack to buy the software outright.
