I photoshopped an image with Gimp.
- Zambyte 2y agoWhile using GIMP
- resource_waste 2y agoNo you didn't. No one actually uses Gimp. We just say 'Gimp is a replacement for photoshop' and pretend that is actually an acceptable solution for people using Linux. (Btw I switched to Krita and I'm never going back to Gimp. Even the things Gimp should be good at, Krita is better.)
- rvense 2y agoPersonally I crop screenshots with GIMP twice a year and it's absolutely fine for that. Not sure what your problem is.
- NovemberWhiskey 2y agoIf your use-case is "crop screenshots", your competition isn't Photoshop, it's MS Paint.
- bmacho 2y agoThere aren't many image editors that are able to crop pictures in a usable way. MS Paint for example can't do that. I wonder if the "move this rectangle" method is under patents.
- taskforcegemini 2y agoMaybe you mean something different by "cropping", but drawing a rectangle followed by ctrl+c then ctrl+n is fairly quick / good enough
- yjftsjthsd-h 2y agoIf there was a linux port of paint, I'd consider it. Until then, GIMP is fine.
- bigstrat2003 2y agoCheck out Pinta. It does basic image editing pretty well, imo.
- nunez 2y agojspaint.app has you covered
- wizzwizz4 2y agoGIMP is the screenshot cropping tool, or for when you want to write a Lisp program to do a single, technically-precise thing to an image. Krita for everything else! I'm still waiting for the Krita equivalent of Inkscape.
- Zambyte 2y agoI use Lisp extensions all the time for things people claim GIMP can't do, like draw certain shapes. GIMP is to Emacs as Photoshop is to Intellij. Both GIMP and Emacs are fairly lean out of the box; it is meant to be molded into what the user wants. The problem is the target audience of Emacs is much more keen on programmatically modifying their systems than the target audience of GIMP.

- ltlnx 2y agoWhat issues do you have with Inkscape? I've used it for both (semi-)professional and personal work, and the UX is quite pleasant.
- HKH2 2y agoInkscape is buggy, especially when clipping. Sometimes layers or filters aren't shown properly. Editing filters is a bit arcane. When I first started using Inkscape, I disliked all the dialog boxes, but I'm used to them now.
- wizzwizz4 2y agoIt's a semi-decent SVG editor (if you ignore all the XML Editor crashes), but you can't draw in it.

- HKH2 2y agoKrita can't print.
- ThrowawayTestr 2y agoI gimped an image with Adobe Photoshop®
- aceazzameen 2y agoThat sounds accurate.
- downrightmike 2y agosuch a terrible name
- dclowd9901 2y agoNobody’s ever accused open source of being good at naming stuff
- aragonite 2y agoDo the users find the name terrible though? I'm pretty sure on at least 3 different occasions I heard someone excitely yelling "time to bring out the GIMP!" or some such when they needed to do some quick photo editing. Case in point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4CjOB0y9nI&t=2518s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4CjOB0y9nI&t=2518s
- bigstrat2003 2y agoYeah, GIMP is an awesome name. It's fun and playful, one of the better named programs out there imo.
- hallarempt 2y agoI, as the Krita maintainer, hereby give everyone the right to verb the trademarked name "krita". Whether it's I "krittered that concept" or "I kritaed that sketch" -- it's fine! The only thing you cannot do with the trademarked name krita is publish rip-off, spyware-laden versions in places like eBay.
