Bitmap
Adobe Photoshop
Gimp

>Can somebody photoshop X? Can somebody make me a logo?
All requests for photoshopping belong on /wsr/ - Worksafe Requests or /r/ - Adult Requests. /gd/ doesn't take requests or do free or even paid work sometimes. However, if you're new at something, asking "HOW can I X?" rather than "CAN YOU make X?" will give you better results.


>Can I post some of my work for critique?

There is usally a critique/What-Are-You-Working-On thread, and that is where work for critique go.

>Can somebody find [font]?

http://www.mediafire.com/download/027xjs3ujvyqxmd/Fonts.zip

also check out your local torrent site or the font-share thread.

Remember to share and not just take. Also remember that using liscensed fonts in commercial works is a bad idea.

What is the catch? And how does it stand against GIMP?

Why is gimp so terrible and no good a alternative has popped up that is free open source and works on Linux? You’d think with something like blender there would be something as good but for graphic design.
Does Krita count?

Is gimp controlled opposition to be a bad software so people give up and go for the paid for ones or at least go for affinity now?

How well does the affinity suite run on winboat?
>>
>>463630
have you tried krita? not the same as pohotoshop and originally intended as drawing software, but it does many things better than gimp does.

might be enough for your needs. you should give it a try.

Why artists use anti-aliased brushes, figures, and lines when drawing cartoonish images with no complex shading? It creates endless problems for them, it slows them down, it's inefficient, etc. Wouldn't it be better to increase canvas size by 4x and draw with aliased brushes, figures, and lines, and then downsample it with FSAA algorithm during final render to get anti-aliased image?
(Of course, vector would be even better, but let's talk about raster)

How is this software on Linux for anyone who got it working?

It is free and I think going back to GIMP just feels like being an abused GF going back to the psycho boyfriend for more abuse in the sense of being let down by GIMP.

I'm a fa/tg/uy looking to make digital diorama pics where painted soldier models have muzzle flashes and filters to make the photos look cinematic.

I think it will take too much work to make it work on windows

Does anyone know any places where you can get fonts for free? Specifically where to get fonts that would normally cost a ridiculous amount.

Canva is a very easy to use an easy to learn app. The only problem with it is that you have to pay to get some features. But you can do a lot with only using the free version. I used the free canva version for like few years to do all my graphic design work.

I am making a Paint.NET clone for the browser with AI because the Paint.NET developer never included the polygon lasso although I gave him the code for it


It is not yet feature complete but I would still like to ask for feedback.

There's no point in making something open source if it's unreadable spaghetti slop. It defeats the whole point of open source software.

didn't some techbro already make a vibe coded paint.net clone because he wanted it on linux or something?

and is this you? https://forums.paint.net/topic/133388-creating-a-polygon-lasso-tool/
lmao, "although I gave him the code for it," you mean from pinta? a project that forked off what, 17 years ago? (v3.0 is January 26th, 2007 and i'm going by the pinta git repo)
can't you just use the bezncurve plugin? why don't you just make your own plugin?

literally no-one is going to be impressed with your vibe coded slop paint sveltekit website, you obviously have no programming skill and are just some entitled skid, shoo shoo

best part is it doesn't even work, it just is a black canvas even when i paint with white, i don't even have any privacy things and canvas data is allowed, wow this is depressing
>>
>>464928
Yes, that is me.
And a plugin does not work for that use case. This was also discussed in the Paint.NET forum.

Yes that code is for an older version and does not fit properly but Paint.NET is not open source and the author does not want any developer support.

I even added an AI background remover that works locally in the browser.

Also I am a C# WPF software developer of 9 years and it is over for Software devs.

I've been writing WPF applications for 11 years and it's far from over. If you can be outperformed by a glorified copy-paste machine then you probably deserve to be booted from the industry. There are no shortcuts to quality work.

It's a threshold adjustment layer.

Play with curves & exposure like >>464914 says (if you need more fine detail, you can add a high-pass filter before the threshold adjustment, though expect to manually erase portions of this since it can sometimes retain too much detail), then drop threshold on top. Threshold basically makes all colors in the image either fully black or white, with no grey values

Flatten the image, then Magic Wand select all the black & copy onto a new layer. Put this on a solid color background. From there you manually paint the colors back in underneath
