I know it's a funny joke that freetards unironically use software called gimp, but this is soulless
>>108319746This is all communism. Also he acts like being sexually submissive is a bad thing
>>108319734can it draw circles?
>>108319734I remember this soulless slop. It's like when those Twitter shitheads take Japanese artists' stuff and then "improve" it by making characters black.
>>108319746It's just a blank white website

My spidey sense tells me OP is lying
btw retards no this isn't news this is a UX """dev""" doing a redesign
>>108319740
>>108319734Photogimp all over again.Do people never learn?
>>108320095photogimp is good though
>>108320139>>108319956yes
>>108319746>The name, Gimp, received negative connotations by movies like Pulp Fiction and slang implying that someone is "stupid, uncool, disabled, or submissive sex slave".I hate leftist so much its unreal
>>108320231Leftists are gimps that don't want to be called gimps, simple as
it's fucking shit
>>108319913Welcome to the botnet
>Despite the acronym, the name has drawn criticism over the years due to "gimp" being used as an ableist slur or associated with BDSM culture, leading to discussions about renaming and even a fork called Glimpse. However, the GIMP project has retained its original name.Are the Gimp devs freaks?
>>108320264Possibly but the name was just geeks being edgy at a time when political correctness wasn't very widespread beyond university grievance studies departments.
Isn't that old? I remember there was a better version with a mascot
Not seeing this announced by any official GIMP account. It looks like some random designer doing this on his own, hoping it will get adopted.
>>108320264>ableist slurReminds me, there are a disappointing number people whining on wikipedia about the word lame (WP:LAME talk page). Really pathetic.The only real way to stop something being treated as offensive is for it to be so normalized and detached that it loses the original meaning. But of course, dimwits addicted to being offended don't actually want that.
>>108319734The reason why I use paint.net whenever possible is that the icons are colorful. You can differentiate them quickly with the squint of an eye and your brain links the colors to the tool.I know that that does not fit to the modern ui style guides but it is unmatched ux.Having something like that would be revolutionary.Also the design proposed in that dribble mockup removed the feature of having image previews inside the tabs which is a really valuable feature if your files are not even named yet and you have to figure out which tab is which. Imagine having 10 tabs open and searching for an image.
>>108319919>Who the fuck is using GIMP for professional work?me making 16k texture maps for my MGS5 looking ass game>>108320028UI UX are the some of the most evil parts of this industry. they are supposed to make smooth or interesting things and all they do is point to 666 then act like they are steve jobs
>GimpGIMP is disgusting and I know anyone who says it’s usable or even “good enough” is full of shit. GIMP is a troll program (how does the name not give that away?) and you fell for it, the designer set out to make an obtuse interface and wagered people would still use it no matter how bad because they are either autistic or blindly devoted to opensource no matter how bad it is, the joke is on you, the joke is that you used and have a low enough IQ to recommend it to people.
>>108320366it's just really bad.paint.net is all you need for 99% of people, and if you are "serious" just pirate photoshop
Same energy
>>108320373That's just pasta I've been posting for years now, every time someone mentions Gimp. Sad to see it go.I removed a line at the end of the rant, it said to simply use Krita instead.
>>108319734gimp>sovlcrafft>soisince when is stuttering a design choice?
>>108319746
>>108320366>>108320373please tell me this is baitit is better than photoshop for a long time, maybe not before I started using it a decade ago but right now it's very good and photoshop has always been a laggy piece of trash.
>>108320028>I was aiming at complete relaunch of the tool with new UI, UX, and brand>No rebrand is easy and there is more to be done to bring the community to love the ideaIs this guy autistic or something? Why would he phrase it in that way instead of just sharing his design ideas
>>108319734Are they retarded or something
>go to gimp.org>release 7 days ago>its still gimpif i were gimp i'd sue this guy. its fine if you want to make a better gimp, dont advertise that the project itself changed
>>108319734apple style fags are cancer
>>108320472They flat out told him "fuck off to the gimp ux repo"
>>108319734>Modernize the brand>Introduce generative AI featuresMakes it sound like he's preparing to sell it off to some shady Tech Suits who'll add a circle tool and then hide it behind a pay wall.
>>108320453because it's a normalfaggot trying to pad his resumé. He doesn't even know that GIMP is free software, not 'open source' which is a corporate psyop. He seems to fetishize professionalism and wants to kill all of the gimp's soul to bring in some imaginary 'professional user' that'd only be able to work under the comfort of his 'delicate design' but not be bothered by basic shit like lack of cmyk, nondestructive editing, or the meme ellipse tool. It's not that there's a print or an image you just _cant_ make in the Gimp but it'll take you 3 times as long and twice as much ink and paper to get anything right. Anyone using Gimp professionally probably does a lot of the same and scripts half their workflow themselves at which point all this becomes a non-issue. Kill all sovl and amateur underdog enthousiasm for some potential a-technical professional gimp user.
>>108319734Shit like this is why graphic designers got murdered by AI first.They just copy everyone else, parroting current trends like a shitty model regurgitating training data.The irony of the guy using sloppa to make mockups too, kekMight as well not even make this himself, just tell some openclaw agent to do it, I mean why not? Why have the meatbag middleman at all
>>108319734>minimalislopis for children>still no circle toolof course
>>108320320you can choose to use colorful icons in GIMP. I do.
>>108319734>colorless tool iconsFucking garbage.
>>108320583It's not the first time someone has published a design brief for an open source project as a portfolio piece, and annoying it's also not the first time they don't make it clear that it's something they're doing of their own volition without any connection to the project itself. I thought about complaining that it's not obvious to non-designers that it's a design brief and not something that has actually been implemented, but this is published on dribbble.com which is apparently a site for designers so fair enough.
>>108319826nope
They got the logo completely wrong. How about this one.
If people are really offended by the term gimp, look at what Linus did with git.Using slurs in project names is tradition and humor in the Unix world.
>>108319734Rip WilberLooks unironically easier to use though
>>108319956can gimp do circles yet?
>>108322460Of course. It is just channers malding at a good product and people doing great work
I remember this guy opening an issue on the GIMP bug tracker, does anyone have the link?
>>108319734iToddler design, pathetic. Where's the tools at?
>>108321539Only real G's wouldn't get offended by GIMP unless they are some pansy Karens from HR department.
>>108319818>This is all communismMakes me want to check it out.
>>108319734Literally looks like a proper professional editor. But name is retarded.
>>108319919I work in a relatively small tech company, and our CTO is adamantly convinced that GIMP and Inkscape are as good as or even better than Photoshop and Illustrator and that here's a conspiracy to convince people that Adobe products are the only good choice for graphic design. I swear, I am not making this up.
>>108319734>is nowno it's not
>>108319734Glad they're finally redesigning the whole GUI it's fucking awful. It's like a shitty copy of photoshop and ps is shitty to begin with.

this shit is ugly af
>>108320453sounds like he's used to talking to corporate people, like the mcdonalds ceo who kept calling his burger "this product"
I just convinced my boss to ditch Photoshop for Crafft on all our work computers now that they changed that horrid name. They made a good decision. Now we don't have to feel weird when we ask someone to GIMP an image for us.
I'm sticking with the pepper, thanks.
>>108319734now it's gimped in all but name
>>108320583>Anyone using Gimp professionallythe sheer delusion of fosstards
yeah thats what's wrong with GIMP, not the complete lack of support for anything and the instability, its the name and logo
>>108323101it's kind of the rotten cherry on top though
>>108320231Nigger that's purely factual, what's leftist about it? Touch ass.
>>108320398deer jimp
>>108319734Thing is, graphics/design-oriented people usually value UI and aesthetic in general. If you're making a graphics editor and your software is ugly as hell, then it's less likely to be adopted by the same demographic you're supposedly developing for. Simple as.Gimp looks like an ancient software (an ugly one too), the name is a literal joke, the logo is laughable. It just doesn't look good, which wouldn't be an issue if it was actually superior to the alternatives in some regards. Look at Clip Studio, it looks like shit but it can do insane stuff with brushes and 3D and so on, so artists use it anyways because it's invaluable (if you're doing some specific kind of art).Gimp? Not at all. Its only redeeming quality is the fact it's free. Except you can now use actually decent-to-good Photoshop alternatives for free (such as Photopea or Affinity), which seals the deal. >but it's open source And? That only appeals to the hardcore free software guys, which wouldn't really be freetards if they were into graphics/design in the first place. There's nearly no overlap. Because open source graphics software can't compete with proprietary stuff and if you're serious about your hobby/interest you swallow the pill and crack Photoshop on a windows partition or whatever. It's like developing an audio/music editing software specifically for colorblind people. You can, but why would you? Because the colorblind wanted a colorblind audio editor as well, to add to their library of software for colorblind people they rarely touch.It can't really compete with the other audio editing software, its only distinctive feature is the fact it's colorblind-ooptimized. The software itself refuses to appeal to audio/music enthusiasts, because the actual target is colorblind people. Meanwhile colorblind people that are actually into music or whatever are using FL or ableton.Pure madness.
>>108319734Looks too good for the troonix audience, will never happens

>>108323480>Thing is, graphics/design-oriented people usually value UI and aesthetic in general.Only shitty ones and women. Which, at this point in my career (15 years in graphic design) might be very much the same thing. Counterpoint might be Zbrush - a software with possibly the worst, most idiotic UI in history of both software and UI. Not only it looks like shit, it's also very alien and buggy. Yet it is still an industry standard, because apart from UI, it does everything you need really well. Professionals are not using GIMP because GIMP is a crappy software, there's not else much to it. I can understand that a lot of people consider GIMP their hobby, and I have nothing against it, but any effort to save it by rebranding/re-designing it is imo just a waste of time. Then again, I don't think that the person in OP really spent too much time with it.
>>108319734if gimp needs something (next to a name change) it's some people in charge of product vision, design and user experiencesome software is made by only programmers and you can tell. sure it might work (after spending 3 fucking hours consulting a manual) but that doesn't mean it's good software
>>108319734the UI improvements are great. the brand is some low effort faggot tier nonsense that looks and sounds even dumber than gimp already does.
>>108319746What a complete fucking retard. >Let's make this look like every other corporate SAASslop!>No I didn't actually do anything, that'd be hard! This is just my idea!>Rebranding™>Generative AIGET THESE FUCKING DORKS OUT OF TECH! FUCKING NORMIE RETARDS NEED TO BE FAR AWAY FROM ANY OF THIS SHIT! YOU HAVE NO FUCKING IDEA HOW TO DESIGN ANYTHING! GET BACK TO THE FUCKING AMAZON WAREHOUSE!
I honestly don't care if the name changes anymore but I don't like the corporate professionalism. crafttt crap.If there is anything you can learn from the ethics of being a GIMP plugin developer. it is that screaming racial slurs, calling for battle against other developers and defaming other developers and treating them like "fuckboys" is a very consistent way to get your ass thrown out of the place.>>108320583at least crafttt guy wasn't behaving like a delurious neo nazi pretending that GIMP development was tied in with neo nazi fever dream literature of William Pierce. nazi sympathizers are lowest of the low. lower then any corpowagey and they must be punched in the balls.If you really want my opinion on how to improve GIMP focus making a very strong third party plugin ecosystem, that way the community can run things at a decentralized individual developer level instead of putting all the weight on the GIMP team. Expecting GIMP team to do it all themself is the mistake. My 150+ third party plugins is an example of me doing it myself and not depending on them
>all these replies for a nearly 2 year old repost of some retard's art project
>>108324668yeah, removing borders from all buttons and reducing overall contrast to 1.01:1 makes it so much easier to use

>>108319956>installing a fork just for a tweak you can do in the real GIMP in 20 seconds by yourself.
>>108321130Is it really their fault? Upper management tells them to "make everything look modern *coughcough*justcopyapple*cough*" so naturally they produce bland inoffensive designs. Even when they're not redesigning a logo to be more gay and lame they still have to pad their resume with gay and lame designs so that they'll actually get jobs.
>>108319734comedy central?

>>108330598he's right on Gimp being shit and thinks he needs to enshittify it into the modern Adobe/Apple way rather than to recreate the time before enshittification. GIMP is worse than pre-Creative Suite Photoshop and so is modern Photoshop.

>>108322713He'd be right.
