My friend was using Photoshop 7 up until she couldn't install it for whatever reason under W10. It was always enough for her to do what she was doing with her digitalized drawings.
Not sure if she found a replacement but she certainly didn't want to use GIMP - interface was way too convoluted and layers management weird, according to her IIRC.
- inanutshellus 1y agoLearning GIMP as a PS user is like changing operating systems. ... but it has always been worth it for any normal person, IMO. That said... PS's new AI tools might make GIMP no longer a viable option even for normies like me.
- archerx 1y agoLearning GIMP is not worth it for anyone, people should use the much better and actually usable open source alternative called “Krita”.
- inanutshellus 1y agoMaybe other apps are better, but my guess is that they just work harder at copying PhotoShop's UX whilst GIMP actively worked to innovate. Remember too that PhotoShop itself is unintuitive and hard to learn. That unintuitiveness is a mark of honor for Photoshop ("ooo, it's so powerful you have to take _classes_ to learn it!") and a mark of shame for GIMP ("ooo, those twits didn't clone PhotoShop, the fools! It's so hard to learn!")
- archerx 1y agoWell GIMP innovated in the wrong way, you can put the steering wheel in the backseat of a car in the name of innovation but that doesn’t make it better. I honestly would rather use JavaScript and canvas over GIMP because it’s just more intuitive.
