- numlock86 6y agoExpert software is not for everyone.
- asutekku 6y agoGimp is not expert software though. It’s an okay foss alternative to photoshop, but just because it has an awful UX does not suddenly make it ax expert software.
- 2038AD 6y agoI think "alternative to photoshop" pushes it into the expert category. Non-expert would be something like MS Paint. I don't consider Gimp to have radically worse UX either. I've got a couple of minor gripes but nothing major.
- DonHopkins 6y agoBy far, most experts use Photoshop.
- numlock86 6y agoMost experts use commercial software like Autocad 3ds max over Blender for example, too. But what is your point? It's still expert software.
- danielscrubs 6y agoGIMP - Free and you only pay with your time and sanity. Now if we could only come up with some word for people that exchange time for money...
- homarp 6y agoWould that help: https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-concepts-main-windows.html https://docs.gimp.org/2.10/en/gimp-concepts-main-windows.htm... ?
- 2038AD 6y agoHover your cursor over the icon and a tooltip will tell you
- rhn_mk1 6y agoUnless you're using a touch display.
- 2038AD 6y agoTapping the icon using a touch display also brings up the tooltip (I just checked)
- rhn_mk1 6y agoI agree that it's useful to have that, but sadly still not very discoverable. I know people who won't tap anything before they are shown what it does. I might fall into the same category, noticing how confused I was recently after running some software with no button labels for the first time.
