Pixelmator's got the sort of interface I wish other image apps had. That's my standard, and it's payware.
- jrockway 18y agoI've also used both, and they are both incredibly confusing. I'm going to blame myself for being ignorant, though, rather than insisting that the software is the problem. Clearly it's not.
- unalone 18y agoWhy not? Software should be made for the user. Any image editing software that punishes you for never having used it has a problem. It also means that there's a market for an easy image editor that effectively lets users do what they want to do. (That's Aviary's goal, largely.)
- dasil003 18y agoThat's what Photoshop Elements is for. The idea Photoshop does not have a well-designed UI because the learning curve is steep is ridiculous. The "user" that Photoshop is made for is the professional designer or photographer. There's plenty of room for lower-end consumer products, but there's nothing wrong with the Photoshop UI.
- unalone 18y agoI've never used Photoshop Elements before. Perhaps you're right. I don't hate Photoshop's UI. (Where was I critical of it?) I dislike the Gimp's user interface very much.
