GTK4 is already out. GIMP is massively underfunded, but I suppose that isn't really surprising.
- greenknight 5y agoYep, all the open source hope has been put into Krita recently, rather than gimp.
- pmoriarty 5y agoThey're for different things. Krita is primarily for painting and drawing, while GIMP is for photo editing.
- simooooo 5y ago
- unixhero 5y agoNo that is not accurate. Krita is excellent at editing graphics and photos.
- viraptor 5y agoThe features may be there, but they don't always seem obvious. I've had multiple tasks where I started with Krita and just could not find the obvious flow - reverted to gimp, done in under a minute. The last one I believe was to add transparency and remove background. I'm not the only one either apparently: https://krita-artists.org/t/how-to-make-background-transparent/15105/9 https://krita-artists.org/t/how-to-make-background-transpare... Some things are just much simpler to achieve in gimp it seems.
- unixhero 5y agoWhenever I have a workflow question I turn to a few YouTube guides and then I get my answers. That is a tip.
- mort96 5y agoThe changes from 2 to 3 were massive. The changes from 3 to 4 are much more incremental. Not to say GIMP isn't massively underfunded (it 100% is), but once the transition to GTK+3 is done, the transition to GTK4 should be much more straightforward.
- hulitu 5y agoThen they need to move to GTK5 or GTK6. It's funny that G in GTK stand for Gimp but now i think it stands for Gnome.
