If you use the GNU Image Manipulation Program, there is something wrong with you mentally.

It is the only thing preventing me from using a Linux-based OS on a permanent basis. I need Photoshop to work and WINE is buggy as shit. The GIMP is a shit alternative.

Prove me wrong. Why would anyone deliberately use this garbage?

>>107705635
it was extremely funny watching people finding out in real time about photopea.com and realizing some random fag's weekend project is better than this Linux "software"
>>
>I have a usecase that requires I use something other than Linux
What the fuck is this gay thread. Use whatever you need to use to do whatever you're doing.
>>
I just boot up a Windows VM in Qemu (and RDP window forward) whenever I need a specific Windows application. I actually use VMs a lot, I have a separate Linux distro in a VM too for work stuff when I work from home, so I don't have to taint my own system with Fortigate VPN crap and also can just save my work session straight to disk.

>>107705635
Okay, jeet.
>Use case?
>Do you need PS for work?
If you really need Adobe, you probably have a Macbook for work, so whats to problem? Or are you just one neetjeet, that got a pirated copy and pretents so NEED it? Just use GIMP. Show me one piece of work you did with PS.

>Okay, jeet.
even though jeets can't afford Photoshop so they use GIMP

its really fun for animated gifs, and provides a sort of 90's magic website vibe when you optimize for gif over colour gradients

very tedius, but if gimp 3 stops crashing it'd be alot easier with mass select.

also (+ AI script-fu) is under appreciated

wow, can you please do one with Tux and GNU?

Is there a paint.net equivalent that isn't pinta? Middle tier editor with sane settings? (Like escape deselects)
>>
>>107705700
good excuse to try gimp 3 again.

i'll see what i can do.
>>
>>107705635
You should use superior software
>>
It's free and not an Adobe product. I know it's shit but I don't really care, people who need Photoshop to do their jobs are sodomites.

My only real grievance is that 3.x took so fucking long to come out that the plugin ecosystem has just rotted away.

the problem is normies. I studied GIMP's engine GEGL since 2021 and made plugins for it since May 2022 and to this date hardly anyone is making GEGL plugins for GIMP.

normies act like GIMP team promises them stuff as if they are entitled. but they never want to do the work themselves or contribute by reporting bugs. I can make gold text in GIMP instantly because I put thousands of hours studying theories on how to do it.

GIMP has the ability to write GEGL syntax in GEGL Graph and then turn it into a custom GEGL plugin by writing .c code. The syntax turns into a plugin with sliders and its NONDESTRUCTIVE in GIMP 3.0.4 and 3.0.6

Nodes in GIMP's GEGL are just as complex as nodes in Blender. There is no difference in the complex potential that they hold. The only difference is that GEGL only shows its nodes in text only mode where as in Blender nodes are in a friendly GUI.

(unless you count Activey's new project for a GEGL only UI)

Download 140 free GIMP plugins here that I made. both free as in cost and free as in freedom to modify code, all GPL3 licensed.

github.com/LinuxBeaver/LinuxBeaver/releases

and if you want more grab the AI plugins that are separate download and the GMIC ones that Active Y made here.

https://gimpchat.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=22038

In total you have 250+ free additional GIMP plugins for GIMP 3.0.4 3.0.6. The vast majority work non-destructive. Freetard

I have used gimp for all of my photo editing needs since I was a kid.
Maybe gimp sucks but I'm so used to it now that anything else feels weird to me.

>>107707350
even the most recent big update threw me for a little bit of a loop. it was literally exactly the same since like 2016 lol
