How's GIMP 3.0?
No problems so far, but it's not my main editor and I haven't really dug into the new features.
>>459976I've been using 2 for a few years now.I have stockhom syndrome for it as I have a few others (like Kitra) but dealing with the 2 bumps and bruises for so long makes me want to stay with it. Maybe one day.
Is there a way to save selections yet, ideally as something tied to a layer?
GIMP will always be ass whether it's 3.0, or 9.0
>>459970STILL NO CMYK SUPPORT AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>459970I'm considering switching to it, since Affinity keeps freezing my entire system with HA enabled and isn't getting any fixes anytime soon and Adobloat is just too much of a mess to use.
>>460470>wants to use gimp because adobe is a mess to use.there is plenty of issues to be had with that business. but the blind hate by inexperienced idiots sometimes is indeed hilarious
>>460471does gimp also bloat my PC with 20+ background tasks running at all time?
>>459970Might be a dumb question, but what is stopping GIMP from just copying Photoshop's layout, UI, features, etc. completely? Can't be related to copyright if it's free and open source, right?
>>460476Yeah I used to think some features were out of reach because of Adobe patents or something but then Photopea came out and has a bunch of Ps features that Affinity/GIMP/Pixelmator still don't have despite being a web app with less than half the dev time.
>>460476In terms of UI, nothing. There's even a patch made by the community called "PhotoGIMP" that completely remodels the Gimp UI to look like Photoshop, and some other things like shortcuts
I'm a newbie. I'm just trying to quickly edit images with a white background to a transparent one. I've done the free select tool and traced an image before (copy and paste to new image) but that takes way too much time. Fuzzy select is often perfect to select what I want to delete. I've tried following some tutorials with where they say to make an alpha channel and then select+delete but the image I export still has a white background. I got something to work by making that alpha channel, deleting the white, using a rectangular select and copy + pasting-as-new-image, but I imagine that there a way that is simple and doesn't require making a new image.
>>460567>PhotoGIMPI might give this a shot. I haven't looked into any patches or scripts or whatever that would help me out.
