As a user of gimp for years and Photoshop and way back when misc other photo editing software (does Deluxe Paint count? ok joking, I meant like Corel), I am a bit confused when everyone complains so much about gimp.
I can’t decide if it is just habits that people can’t get away from or if there really is some kind of issue. In the past I know layers themselves where the issue, but is that still the case now?
I remember a short video series that was like: you do this in Photoshop so just do this in gimp and it all made sense to me.
So is there a current video that says here is what I can’t do in gimp, and only in Photoshop and its all the UIs fault?
you forgot paint shop pro! but yeah you illustrate a good point; gimp is at least 10 years behind adobe/affinity/photopea. i’m honestly not sure if the things i need can be done in gimp because tutorial content is few and far between. there are probably no comparison videos because few professionals if any are willing to stick around gimp long enough to master it on such a level that they could put together a video that is honest or correct, and they would probably not want to make a video showing how gimp is crap as that is usually the opposite of a goal post here; i mean, absolutely no one likes Adobe and mostly everyone actually wish gimp was a replacement that could become a new industry standard because fuck Adobe.
Yeah fuck adobe. But I was actually saying I don’t find gimp a problem. Other than printing anyway. I can do everything I need with it just as well as anything else. And I had been in graphic design for years. I want to know if people are just complaining because they have muscle memory issues or if they can demonstrate that it can’t be done.
I have access to adobe photoshop latest and I don’t bother with it.
