      Gimp doesn’t suck as an image editor, it just sucks as a Photoshop clone, which it was never meant to be. It’s an amazing image editor.

      Gimp used to suck. Gimp 3 is amazing. Krita is great. Inkscape is OK.

      Having all three requires less space than Photoshop and Illustrator and covers about every feature of both.

        Gimp 3 is amazing.

        Found the time traveler!

        (The stable version of Gimp is 2.10.38, and even the latest dev snapshot – which is what I assume he means by “Gimp 3” – is technically “only” 2.99.18.)

        Granted i havent tried gimp 3. Ill have to give it a try. But im so fast with ps. And i hate how each program needs to have their own control schemes to differentiate.

        I just dont get why people hate photoshop to the point of being unhelpful when people ask how to get it working. Especially when many people are pirating it anyways.

          you shouldn’t waste any time or energy on an adobe product. and if you think that advice is unhelpful then you literally can’t be helped.

          It takes a while getting used to anything. Gimp does have a Photoshop keyboard shortcut preset, to ease you into it.

          And gimp does have some parts that are better. For example importing a bunch of images and lining them up on a spritesheet is both faster and easier on Gimp. And both Photoshop and gimp have scripts to do this, but I was never able to get the Photoshop script to work.

      I’ve been using Gimp for simple things, and it’s been OK once I realized that whatever I want to do, I should look it up first instead of just trying to figure it out through trial and error.
