How come every time pic related is mentioned, there's a huge shitstorm about it being bad and unusable? I think it works fine in most situations, probably 98% of them.

Most people are retard baby ducks who memorize pixel-exact steps to get anything done on a computer because their brains can't model what's actually happening. It doesn't matter how good GIMP is in isolation, it's different and therefore wrong.

because they don't know how to use it

Everything is unintuitive and you have to double check menus all the fucking time.

it's powerful but then lacks some basic things like being able to select multiple layers

try and draw a circle the buddy

works good as an MS paint equivalent on linux, that is all

I use powerpoint for all my photo editing needs

its just Adobe shills who know all casual users are leaving their photoshop CLOUD APP, like seriously who is going to buy a subscription to use a cloud based image editing app?

Most people work for a living and have tried all paint software and have an objective view point on what they need vs what they don’t need. Graphics are part of my job and I would never use gimp. I tried it once to do something super basic, something that would have taken 5mins in photoshop but with gimp is was just one long train of disappointment, I wasn’t able to do what I wanted and ended up uninstalling gimp and installing krita. Krita is better than gimp in almost every single way. Now there websites that do a better job than gimp like psdfiddle.com which I have been able to use for production work.

Gimp has a stupid name, with a stupid UI and can’t actually be used for any production but there are autistic retards who will defend this piece of shit.

If gimp where to disappear of the face of the world tomorrow it would be for the best.

You are a classic example of a baby duck.

No, gimp is for filters and stuff.
It is meant to be used when you have an image and you want to manipulate it.
That's why drawfags can't understand why it doesn't compare to Photoshop as Photoshop does multiple things, the image manipulation is just a tiny portion.
Kolourpaint is the mspaint equivalent.

1) click on circle selection tool
2) select
3) fill with color
4) ???

No one?
Are you implying that any single user on Jow Forums has ever paid Adobe?
Photoshop > GIMP, always
But I'm not going to pay for it - some stupid san franciscan creative agencies can buy 1000 licences each to keep adobe in the black instead of me.

Krita and Gimp need professional skills for drawning. It is not easy. Krita has manual 1000+ pages.

stupid Patreon faggot """artists""" that need their premium image filters to drop on shitty digital furry porn.
the real question here is, if the general retard which complains about gimp so much doesn't even work with digital imaging, Why The Hell he spergs so much about a FOSS software that can attend on his needs of creating image macros for shitposting purposes? and even if he Actually works with images, he can't even make simple software work? Imagine their facea when confronted by a pencil and a piece of paper.

Gimp is quite difficult to get started with. The interface isn't as user friendly and intuitive as PS.

But it is free and does the job. Like comparing Eagle and KiCad desu.

People are retarded and larping that they're some big shot artists, but they're actually just following PS tutorials and don't even know what they're doing.
Gimp is used in professional environments almost as much as Photoshop is.

KolourPaint is an ms Paint equivalent (superior).

They're both difficult to start with and have a non-friendly UI. Stop being biased.

Because it sucks ass

>m-muh adobe brainwashing
Is a dumb cope. No one has trouble using, Affinity, Paint.NET, MS Paint, PaintTool SAI or Krita (seriously, freetards should shill for this instead). It's literally JUST Gimp because it's a pile of shit. Doesn't even have native CMYK. It's a joke.

but it does? what distro do you use that delivers old Gimp builds?

No it doesn't

Mint 19 still uses Gimp 2.8 or whatever it was.

>tfw paint.NET doesnt have a decent loonix version with the amazing plugins that .NET has
