changing the GUI for a good reason makes sense, making it look like photoshop doesn't seem like a good idea.
Photoshop is an arse to use, just like the GIMP. I just happen to have learnt gimp first.
- layer8 3y agoGIMP lost me when they switched to flat monochrome icons. Well, I still use the old version.
- Izkata 3y agoIIRC a bunch of them didn't even just go monochrome, they removed small hints to what it actually did (like little arrows that showed what the transformation actually was). Switching back to the old icons was also the first thing I did.
- ndiddy 3y agoYou can change the icons back to the color ones in the settings.

- hurryer 3y agoI'm curious how you use gimp. Do you use mathy/programming/terminal kinds of editing - stuff applied over the whole image with little mouse usage and mostly setting dialog parameters. Or do you do little edits with the mouse, painting masks, selecting regions with the mouse, and generally using the mouse/pen a lot?
- KaiserPro 3y agoI have an old wacom tablet, so its painting masks mostly. back in the early days, I did all the things that photoshop 6 could do. Along with a brilliant plugin called resynthesiser[1] which I am horrified to find out is 23 years old. I've never really used the scripting functions apart from applying global effects. Nowadays I use it until I need illustrator hard enough to move to the mac downstairs. but most of my photo editing is now done in lightroom.
