Yeah! Non-destructive editing is huge. I learned graphics editing with Paint Shop Pro back in the day and easily transitioned to Gimp successfully in the late 90s. Been using it exclusively for twenty years and slowly but surely (haha) keeps getting better.
The new widgets are kinda nice too. They've had the RCs in Fedora for a while.
(If you're here to shit on gimp because it doesn't work like adobe, please take it outside, or slashdot.)
- free_bip 2y agoIs your last comment referring to users friendliness? If so, that's a valid critique.
- bigyabai 2y agoIt's valid, but in many ways it's like Emacs users saying there are easier macros for the invocations that Vim users depend on. I use both and neither are user friendly. If you rely on Photoshop for casual edits then I truly pity you. Your money has been better spent funding Affinity Photo for years now, Creative Cloud is a lost cause. CS6 is much better, but practically antique at this point.
- somat 2y agoThe problem is that many time the person will say "The gimp ui is terrible" and they mean "the gimp ui is different than the photoshop ui" Basically in order to have a meaningful conversation you need to figure out how to enumerate your grievances before you say them.
- mossTechnician 2y agoPhotoshop has enjoyed the positive bias that comes from almost universal ubiquity, and all the support they will receive online or from friends. Colloquially, "Photoshop" just means to edit an image. "Gimp" could be something quite rude to anyone who isn't familiar with the software.
