I'm trying to vertical flip a selection and it won't do it, only when i click layer in the tool options does it do it, but then it puts the flipped selection into a new floating layer, why? what does that mean?
why not just flip the selection which i can do in 2 seconds flat in Paint

same anon here, after 8 days, Gimp is awesome, 3.0, okay, could be a bit better sometimes in the interface but I don't use shortcuts yet, that could help. Also it crashes every once in a while so save your work often.

Client asking me to design his book cover

I have no idea how to price it.

What do /gd/?

Honestly have no idea how many he will sell and that's my problem.
I feel like I might get fucked If I ask for royalties.

It's def not going to be a big seller i'm sure of that.

I asked grok and here's what he said :

>Flat Fee
Set a fixed price based on project tiers (e.g., basic edit vs. full integration).
Predictable for client
$100–250 for basic adaptation; $300+ if it includes print-ready files.

>Value-Based
Price based on the project's impact (e.g., 5–10% of expected book revenue).
Maximizes earnings for high-value work.
If the book could earn $5K, charge $250–500.

ok, someone explain to me how the fuck pantone Coated Vs Uncoated is SUPPOSED to work.

anyone whos messed about with pantones knows that youre supposed to use C swatches for coated paper, and U for Uncoated paper

but colors NEVER translate across,
1235C looks nothing like 1235U

so what the hell do i do if a clients brand guide only has C swatches?

what do i do if I need to print on the opposite type of surface from whatever swatch i have??

shits garbage

>>
>>462465
Then purchase a color guide for each Coated and Uncoated and then use different colors to match them.
The Pantone code just mean we mix X colors with X colors. Doesnt mean it's the same color at all.

For exmple 185-C is closer to 186-U than 185-U

Yes they don't look alike because U will neve be as bright as C

>>462467
Tis exactly my problem.

No client (or even project manager) will ever understand that, and they DO get mad about it.
>>
>>462465
>bullshit system doesn't work.

It works just fine if you follow basic common sense protocols like having the printer provide a final proof of the actual ink color on the actual stock, that the client can then approve and sign off on.

Of course that can create added expense, but that's the cost of high precision/ nitpicking. If the client balks at the time/expense/hassle and says it's not that important then put *that* in writing and have them sign off on that, or politely decline the job if you think they are lying.

If the printer balks at creating/providing accurate proofs then they're the wrong printer for that job/client.

All of this is literally why the Pantone system exists as a color matching standard, it doesn't work without people who understand how to use it.

>So what the hell do i do if a clients brand guide only has C swatches?

Tell him "it doesn't work without people who understand how to use it"
>>
>>462479
Then buy the Pantone shader and show them the actual thing or at least try to explain to them that it is how it is

AFFINITY IS FUCKING DEAD. It's a zombie propped up by corporate PR bullshit and if you're still defending it, you are a literal, medically diagnosable retard.

`>SOLD OUT TO FUCKING CANVA`
`>THE APP FOR INSTAGRAM INFLUENCERS AND HR DEPARTMENTS MAKING FLYERS FOR THE COMPANY POTLUCK`
`>CEO "promises" they won't force a subscription on us.`
`>OH YEAH? FOR HOW LONG? UNTIL V3?`
`>WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S COMING: A SLOW, PAINFUL TRANSITION INTO A BROWSER-BASED, SUBSCRIPTION-ONLY, AI-SLOP-GENERATING PIECE OF SHIT.`

They were the CHOSEN ONE. They were supposed to be the one company that wasn't trying to ram a subscription fee up our ass every single month until we die. The one place you could actually OWN your goddamn tools.

But no. They took the money. They bent the knee to the same corporate logic that created the Adobe monopoly in the first place. All that "for the creatives" talk was just marketing.

Enjoy your "magic AI logo generator" that shits out the same 5 generic logos. Enjoy the forced cloud integration that holds your own files hostage.

Im going back to the high seas, anons. There's no escaping it now. I paid for affinity but if they keep doing this shit im outta here.

>Free software means that the software's users have freedom. (The issue is not about price.) We developed the GNU operating system so that users can have freedom in their computing.

>Specifically, free software means users have the four essential freedoms: (0) to run the program, (1) to study and change the program in source code form, (2) to redistribute exact copies, and (3) to distribute modified versions.

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/

>“Free software” means software that respects users' freedom and community. Roughly, it means that the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software. Thus, “free software” is a matter of liberty, not price. To understand the concept, you should think of “free” as in “free speech,” not as in “free beer.” We sometimes call it “libre software,” borrowing the French or Spanish word for “free” as in freedom, to show we do not mean the software is gratis.

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

You choose to be in a "creative industry", basically a technically inept jackass buying into shitty proprietary SaaS applications like Apple and Adobe.

You will be continuously subjected to the SaaS cock and ball torture.

Basic features of free, general-purpose computing won't be granted to you - such as local storage, interchangeable hardware, standardized, open protocols and file formats.

They will probably use the Clip Studio model. Yearly "perpetual" versions or if you want the latest updates a subscription model.

I am trying to generate some images for a tech company, promotion/shwag related.

Because tech company, images should include features related to the business, Drones, buildings, communication equipment. The two generators I have tried keep rejecting the images because they think they are terry propaganda or some shit.

thoughts?
