> GIMP is lacking in ... its selection tools
Could you please elaborate? Is this about fast selection of complex and semi-transparent objects (e.g. hair)?
> have rendering glitches in their antialiasing code that gives everything a green tint on my machines
This is a Cairo issue though. See here and further: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/8455#note_1521906 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/8455#note_15219...
- jdiff 3y agoYes, hair specifically is understandable but other complex objects are just more finicky to select in GIMP, and using those selection tools has a higher friction. I often find myself fiddling with tool settings in GIMP, and those tool options panels are painful to adjust. Regarding rendering, wherever the issue is in the stack, it's been over a decade and it's killing GIMP's usability for an extremely basic task, regardless of whose fault it is.
- prokoudine 3y agoThe Paint Select tool in 2.99 was one of the attempts to make selecting objects simple. Unfortunately, it's unfinished and the original developer is no longer active.
