Any tips for someone who’s been using photoshop for 20 years? Last time I tried gimp it was brutal even with the compatibility key bindings enabled.

  The workflows are still very rough, see my comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43394200 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43394200

  My main tip would be: give it a try! It’s free! And it’s all new and shiny! The biggest cost you incur is your time to try it, which isn’t that much more than the time it takes to type out an internet comment. Second tip: if you get stuck, there is SO much content on youtube these days, you’re bound to find a guide or some help just by searching. Good luck and enjoy free software!

    Ya I get all that. Was more curious if there are people who have switched and have suggestions for config/plugins/setups that make the transition easier.

      I personally wouldn't do that. In the days when I moved operating systems or the new one was a big UI change, I'd force myself to use it exclusively for a full week at least. In practice, it meant taking some tutorials and searching up how to do the simplest things. Annoying but you get the hang of it after suffering several days. Still, I'd wait for 3.0.5+ or so.

      You're bound to stumble over stuff that doesn't work how you're used to. But, the friction for trying it yourself has never been lower. Writing more internet comments is comfy but won't bring you closer to answering your question.
