MODERATORS
There are other tools besides the Gimp. Have you tried krita? It's a little more pen* and tablet oriented. But a solid program in its own right. And despite being part of the KDE platform if I'm not mistaken. They have excellent Windows and Mac versions as well
Krita for me was quite a learning curve, but far more intuitive / with a far better workflow than Gimp once you got used to it. So I'd recommend it too for image editing, though with this, to me, a positive caveat.
@Auster @Shatur @vogi @Eldritch depends on what you're doing, gimp blows both krita and photoshop out of the water for more technical editing (especially when you start using scripts) and doing things like low resolution icons/etc, i have to say though I HATE the new UI they made default in 3.0, the intent was to make it more 'ps-like" and instead it became a bastardization of both, thankfully they listened and gave options to roll most of it back. Especially the single color grouped icons...
Oh good... just what I wanted.
Lol good catch. Damn dictation software. Hah yes it's the cenobites choice.
Yeah Krita is far better than GIMP in my experience, and it doesn't have a godawful name.
The only downside I've found is it is really quite heavy. Probably the slowest program to start that I use. Pretty annoying when you just want to crop an image or whatever.
Also for some reason the clone brush is not enabled by default. I had to Google how to get it, which is not a good sign!
Yea, I was few times on the brink of giving it a try. But the focus on digital art is a bit offputting even though that is stupid reason. It just does not feel right... will try it one day!
