I wonder how paint.NET and GIMP stack up compared to Photoshop.
- sliverstorm 15y agoGIMP had a lot of the functionality (Photoshop has pulled away recently with all the content-aware stuff) but it never had the interface. I don't think paint.NET ever came close, though it could potentially catch up.
- phaus 15y agoYou can take pretty much any image editor and create professional quality artwork from scratch, some just take a lot more effort. I've seen people do some amazing things with GIMP, yet most feel that it is too difficult to get anything accomplished.
- ebiester 15y agoPantone was always the key feature GIMP can't have, and it matters in print.
- gurkendoktor 15y agoA big problem is the ecosystem too. Since most people either use Photoshop or a cracked Photoshop, it's almost impossible to replace it as the industry standard. I hope Adobe will keep improving their DRM to the point where cracks stops working, that'd be the best thing to ever happen to Paint.NET and GIMP.
