There are lots of individual applications that do pretty well in and of themselves (darktable, gimp, krita, etc.) they have varying degrees of niceness. But what Adobe can do has no analogue in Linux land (paid or not) - it’s the multi-device interoperability. It makes for unparalleled workflow. I am not an advocate your Adobe - I really wish there was someone else that did it, and I believe it is something worth paying for. Figma maybe? (but it’s all cloud and was nearly knocked out by Adobe…)
(FWIW, I’ve never found gimp to be pleasant to use, but that is only my own subjective experience. Others like it and that’s a good thing.)
I appreciate GIMP but nah, it’s objectively inferior to Photoshop by a long shot and development is really slow. I mean they’ve only just got to GTK 3.
It’s comparatively difficult to use.
Plus they insist on sticking to that infantile name. I don’t know how they’re expecting to get industry support with a name like that.
Don’t get me wrong I use it every once in a while but damn they’re so far behind it’s a joke. And the worst part is they seemingly don’t want the project to advance.
gimp noises
I say this as a foss proponent… gimp sucks ass.
Now, Inkscape is Goat, but Gimp is nigh unusable.
When was the last time you used it? The newer versions are better and with Gimp 3 there will be many improvements.
A month ago. Still crap then
Stable or development branch?
I guess that’s fair. It works fine for me when I use it occasionally.
That name though
