>>108800231People overreact about how bad some FLOSS software is. But GIMP deserves the flak. Krita is great, Blender is a miracle, but GIMP is a fucking abomination. It must be because the GNOME developers are a bunch of misanthropic lunatics. If those programs were likened to cars, Krita would be a Prius, Blender would be a Ferrari, and GIMP would look something like this:
>>108800258This is just the kind of shit that makes me feel stupid for not securing a safe and not malware slipped crack for something like Photoshop or getting accustomed to using it for the last 10 years when I was still a student before going in to do things professionally in an actual pipeline
>GIMP>is for masochistsPottery
GIMP 3 UI sucks.
Gimp is alright once you've spent half an hour customizing it to your workflow. Without setting shit up it's borderline useless.
>>108800383It may not be perfect but I am still just happy I dont have to use the insufferable multiwindow crap it used to be.
anyone use this?
>>108800369That's just the price you have to pay to not run some Russian infostealer or backdoor on your system from a "trusted" pirate.
>>108800383>>108800414It's the same UI since 2.10?
>>108800428Also interested to know if this is any good. I guess I will try it at some point.For now I've just been using my old Photoshop CS5 which works without issue via wine these days.
>>108800458how do you people use these ancient versions of photoshop where basic tasks like zooming, panning, and using your middle mouse button or importing files or opening files is a fucking pain in the assPIC RELATED
What fucking moron designed this?
>>108800428No because I know how to set shit up without getting my hand held like a babby
>>108800726>2.x and 3.x are both fineas fine as gimp can be anyway
>hit ctrl + a to select pixels>want to paste it into another window>it pastes an empty layeramazing software
>>108800231hijacking the thread to say that I've been running a local version of Gravit and it's been pretty nice. Not having to settle for an RGB color profile like in Inkscape is niceWhy is it so difficult to get CMYK on Inkscape? It's a great program otherwise
>ctrl v something from another file>want to scale it >there is no selection to transform even though it was fucking selected>ctrl U to select the pixels>scale it dow nadn move it around>it does notyhingAMAZINGLY INTUITIVE
Sorry they changed what exactly in 3.0 this is exactly the same as what I'm used to in 2.10
The fact that you can just select something and move it and be in the middle of an operation and then shift r and rectangle something with that new selection LINGERING and suddenly taking priority is the most retarded dogshit ever
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN THIS SELECTION DOES NOT INTERACT WITH A SELECTED LAYER
>>108801144>>108801542you have to understand. gimp's entire point is to do things differently than in ps for the sake of it even when the ps way is faster. gimp devs will just find a way for a different action even when the workflow takes 5x longer to achieve the same result.
>>108801587>gimp devs will just find a way for a different action even when the workflow takes 5x longer to achieve the same result.ah yes please let me find some incredibly specific option to cancel the current selection or whatever and go through several drop down menus to do that for the rest of my lifeevery other program you just press esc or click somewhere else to cancel the selection meanwhile in gimp you get TANGLED UP IN 2394092332 PASTED FLOATING LAYER MODIFICATIONS AND BULLSHIT UNTIL YOU CAN CANCEL ALL OF THEM AT ONCE
>>108800231yeah you have to set it to move selected layer. the "pick a layer" option is completely retarded yet for some sadistic reason is the default setting.
>>108800231Lolcows
>>108800279>PhotoshopAdobe put out one of the old versions, CS2 maybe, for free a few years back. Ui is a bit custom for modern windows ui scaling, but it worked.
>>108800258>Krita is great, Blender is a miracleWhat went right for those programs that went wrong for GIMP specifically?>>108800279How do I pirate software without getting malware on my Linux build?>inb4 LinuxStill a chance I want it to be as low as possible.>>108802238I looked it up.Got Counter Strike 2 and then an archive link that I'm not trustworthy of.If CS2 Photoshop was released for free Adobe may have walked back on it.
>>108802265>If CS2 Photoshop was released for free Adobe may have walked back on it.Probably sick of answering questions. it was legit at the time. I still have a copy:Name: PhSp_CS2_English.exeSHA1: 1edfd80947f4a89a0d80c94ab7caf3c2be7224c5You can google that and find links I think.Key: 1045-1412-5685-1654-6343-1431
>>108800231>want to make meme>adding some text>struggle with it for two hours>download kolorpaint>done making it in 2 minutesturns out, green isnt my pepper
>>108801144idk what they did in 3.0 to break this stuffit was wonky but at least usable beforenow it just feels weirdthey also fucked up focus and window priorities a version or two ago>click colour to open colour picker>it opens up behind the main window (???)>or it pops behind the main window after you select a colour but before pressing ok to confirm it (I forgot which of the two it was)>have to dig in the window stack to find the colour picker modal to press okthankfully they fixed this but I cant believe they shipped a version like thatalso I have noto fonts installed so any time I use the text tool gimp freezes for 5-10 seconds because there are 100-1000 fonts in the list and it cant handle that for some reason
>>108800231Just use AI bro.
>>108800231
>>108800447no, it was downgraded to gtk3 and lost a lot of filters I used frequently, so I just grabbed a 2.10 appimage
>>108802624>krashes
>>108802624I default to use paint.net in the absence of photoshop despite limitations It actually fucking works for what it offers unlike gimp
there is no selection to transform with the pserpective tool XDnevermind I can press M and move around the literal selection just fine XDfucking piece of shit troglodyte program
>>108806154Anon... look at the mode you have selectedYou're transforming the selection area itself
>>108806170>You're transforming the selection area itselfTHAT'S EXACTLY TEH PIONT
>every other software: drag and drop to open a new image>gimp
OH MYGOd
>>108806211No you dumbass the SELECTION itself, not the- look I'll fucking show you
>>108806260>Wow what a silly option, I wish there was a way to never see this again
>>108806292I want to bash my head against the wall every time I forget about this program having multiple selection modes and their meaning being different than what I expectI would THINK that mode selection would mean transform the selection aka the SELECTED AREA and not the SELECTION BOX ITS SELF while LAYER would globally transform the ENTIRE LAYER AKA CANVASExcept then I have it in layer select mode, I free select a set of pixels, and then it moves the entire fucking layer like I would expect it to I should drink some calming tea for this morning and read the documentation
>tab back in >suddenly the whole image area is following my cursor inexplicably with no way to cancel it with the usual keys or modifiers I want to laugh and cry
>cannot copy because the selection region is empty>this selection does not intersect with a selected layerI need a fucking break
>>108806327I think its problem is that it has too many unusual (read: nobody ever uses) options that can be changed too easily without warning. It means even when the reason shit's happening is right in front of you (which is why I could tell what was wrong in the first image, the options are actually in the shot) you don't know why without going through everything>>108806352I mean that just sounds like you are literally on the wrong layer I don't know how else to help you
>>108800231The think I miss the most about using OSX daily from my Snow Leopard era is fucking Pixelmator. I hate that I cannot use that incredible fucking software anymore. And know Apple purchased it, I'm sure it's shit now.
>>108800231read the manual
This thread is what happens to a mfer without a cracked Photoshop CS6 or CC 2015 for 10-13 years. Adobe really needs no marketing material.
>>108800231inkscape is even less intuitive desu
FOSSbros, they're laughing at our tools again...
>>108800231Fuck it I'm so tired. I'll write the next GIMP alternative. Wish me luck.
>>108806398This is the kinda shit you get over in like a week (a month max if you have a short temper), what you REALLY never get over is not having geometry tools
>>108806398>there are people on /g/ RIGHT NOW who don't daily drive photoshop or haven't used it in 5-10 years
>>108802265Krita started as the KDE version of GIMP but zeroed in on a usecase and doesn't expect the user to program GEGL scripts to draw a circle.Blender is just the Emacs of 3D. If you can wrap your head around it's peculiar workflow and the node system it will work for just about anything.
>>108806479my pirated adobe suite expired. now on a fresh install, decided I'd pass on the russian backdoor, hah. yw
>>108806398>cracked PhotoshopEnjoy your infostealer, backdoor, and/or botnet>inb4 muh trusted pirate oxymoronPic related, your "safe" CC 2015 torrent with a dll crack, retard
>>108806711The setup file from the same top rated and downloaded 1337 torrent for CC 2015
>>108806362>I mean that just sounds like you are literally on the wrong layer I don't know how else to help youI think it might be something different in 3.0, because I can free/lasso select something and shift + p it right away in 2.10, which is weird...
>>108806711>>108806722The trusted Photoshop cracker is m0nkrus.ws not whatever is on 1337.Also cracks are supposed to show up as "malware" it's literally hacking your Photoshop so you can use it for free.
>>108806791>The trusted Photoshop cracker is m0nkrus.wsHere's your "trusted photoshop cracker" bro
>>108806811>Autoplay requires admin perms and gets flagged as heyto just by opening up the virustotal link

>>108806435Better be one that doesn't require installing a full-on Python environment as a dependency just to use plug-ins like perspective transform.
>>108800231Skill issue
>>108806912Worse, it'll require rust instead.
>>108806435
>>108800557That's windows explorer.exe anon, pretty basic stuff. Its just a file browser.
>>108800908You can toggle this behavior in the settings menu.
>>108800231Bro, calm down.
gimps alright but definitely could be brought into the 21st century. we need an open source version of nuke for parametric editing
>>108808412it's an outdated piece of shit
Gimp is truly a pain.>paste something into an open image>can't edit that layer outside the pasted content's original areaWhat the fuck is this "layer boundary" thing? WHY is it a thing?
>>108809248I don't disagree. What I'm more impressed by is that they manage to make it worse every release, and even at its base its pretty bad.
>>108809336>What is right click pasted information > new layer
>>108806260>giving you more control over what to do with imported imageswhy would you complain about this?
>>108802624
>>108806211
>>108810102>want to add a border to text>copy existing text>layer to selection>grow selection>fill selectionThere's your destructive workflow that you'll have to repeat if you want to change the text. How in the world is there not a better way to do this in the year of our lord 2026? Doesn't GIMP have modifiers for non-destructive actions? Why not add one for stroke??? Why????????
>>108810159Because it just makes sense, I use GIMP exclusively (and professionally in my day job), GIMP and Inkscape are actually super underrated tools. Photoshop does have some nice features (like that face replacing tool), but its a nightmare to use. Converting the textual data in GIMP to a flat image is destructive yes, but you can just be more organised, and if unsure just duplicate and hide layers as 'backups'. Its quite straight forward once you get used to it and to me, anyway, makes more sense.It also has great bumpmap and normal map features for those looking to create textures for their video games (I have also done this). I understand Photoshop has this too though.There is a "Selection">"Border" option and multiple other ways to do what I did, I just showed you my method which allows me better fall backs for when I change my mind about how I want something to look.Also Lord is capital L anon. Give Him some respect. God bless.
>>108809336Imagine, if you will... picrel.Your layers and boundries are kind of like the plastic projector sheets containing your graphic. It saves memory whilst allowing you to work on larger and larger images, exported gifs become smaller with smaller layer sizes, you can put a bunch of layers together to work on them, then export them individually (how would my paralax graphics for a website look all as one, saved as one file, exported each as layers to use with my CSS). Loads of stuff.
>>108810102holy fucking shit even adding stroke to a text is needlessly complicated. and what happens if you modify the text in any way? gotta redo all the steps.
>>108810379If you can handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.
Lets all take a moment to appreciate how great the awesome devs that made & support GIMP are.Thanks GIMP devs. You rock.

>>108806811The patched dll for cs6 may or may not be safeWerks for me with this and I don't think it's an infostealer given how old it is
>hmm i should update my gimp install since im behind by a whole version. >tools keep disappearing if i tab out>still no better edge selecting toolyep im staying with the old version.
>>108811183i just used the offline activation key thing instead of weird dlls for my CS6.And the only reason I had to do that is because my actually legit commercial key stopped working one new PC install and I was not going to waste my time with adobe.
>>108811281The only thing that pisses me off about GIMP is in version 3 which had one-window mode (yay) they rebound all the fucking shortcut keys and hid tools under other tools. Drove me nuts. Still haven't figured out many of them.
FUCK ALL OF ITI SHOULD HAVE JUST USED TEXTURE PAINTING USING STENCILS THIS WHOLE TIME INSTEAD6 MILLION TIMES FASTER WITH CLEAN AND SEAMLESS RESULTS
>>108800557I use my file manager to find the directory I want to edit then copy the file path and paste it inside Photoshop's picker.
