There's also GIMP as a Photoshop alternative

And Dark Table as a Lightroom alternative

Both are pretty great IMO

GIMP was painful to use. Has it gotten any better yet?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Unfortunately, nope.

I'm not sure what you mean, I've found it quite easy to use though it does have a learning curve like most things

When was the last time you tried it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Used it a few years ago after Blender got the 2.9 treatment. The interface felt very clunky and unintuitive for basic operations compared to anything else. I remember looking at a tutorial and thinking what?

No, use Krita instead. I gave up on Gimp ever getting better about 15 years ago
