GIMP

Is it SMINEM?

Are there any decent FOSS alternatives?

It's his elder brother — ЁMIИЁM

You mean, ЇMIИЇM?

Because people pretend GIMP and Photoshop are meant for the same thing. GIMP by design only have a subset of Photoshop features. If you want to draw or animate, find something else.

No it's their sister's pseudonym

>Sage

Sage is not a downvote, ledditor

i don't know how to use this shit. how do i learn? i need to edit images for my job (well, don't need to, but it would be a decent help), but i cant use any image editing software at all

There are a bunch of manuals and tutorial on their website, did you check them out?

Because its a cornerstone of the biggest problem with open source projects.

> Small open source project gains popularity
> coolman49 comes in and adds some stupid shit to the code
> stupid shit is small so nobody notices
> over the course of several years hundreds of coolman49s come in and slowly build a mound of problems at the programs very foundation
> modern day, project has grown absurdly large
> due to the bureaucracy that comes with large open source projects, all the stupid shit coolman49 added will never be removed

and thats why GIMP is shit, use affinity.

I can use GIMP for simple thing and not have my information sold or I can pirate Photoshop, have it install a metric ton of bloat, and have my information sold. Tough choice.

Can forking be a solution?

At times, yes, but the coolman49 effect will kick in as soon as the fork gains traction, and the situation repeats once again.

Normies just don't like using it for more than 5 minutes because the UI doesn't have as many pretty pictures to tell you what to click on to do what you want like Photoshit.

Get a better commit implementation policy in fork? Just don't accept commits from coolman49's unless they are properly considered.

That's not an argument. And, as was stated in this thread, drawing a fucking circle takes just too much fucking effort, That bad UI.

This vs. a bunch of pajeets writing shit code and stealing all your information

do you have any objective data that would support your shitpost?

You are like a leech on the ass of computer technology. You produce nothing, add nothing, you are broke, you havent even bothered to get off your ass and earn some money. I bet you are using a dell dual core - fag

Not him, but from what I can gather Krita is pretty good, but it's meant for drawing, not image editing, so he is talking bullshit.

>too much effort
Maybe if you're a brainlet that doesn't know how to use the software, sure.

krita

Well, I'm LITERALLY a brainlet and missing a part of my skull, so excuse me.

Last time I had to read a manual on how to draw a circle, and it involved going to some menu to draw a line to the shape of selection or something.

I'm pretty sure you are pressing some keyboard shortcut at the same time as you making a circle selection.

It's for drawing, not general image editing.

bump

Not knowing the difference between a photo editor and a paint program is the de factor tard detector.

I find gimp superior for creating circles.

have you considered making youtube tutorials?

speaking of which - can you automate the steps into a macro?

Agreed.

meh just use the shapes options of the gradient tool.

what about automating clicks in general?

...

I have seen a few gimp-fu scripts for circles.

Speaking of automation, do any of the competitors have scripting support? I have found gimp-fu to be essential for the game I am making.

I just searched online, they do.

i know how to make a circle and you're doing it wrong
ih asking about macros so i don't have to click the same shit over and over

not really, I mostly use the warp transform and clone tools,
I don't know how to use 95% of the tools

lol
>no shape tool, need to go the extra mile just to create a circle
gimp is great and it misses some features for professional editing, but that is not a valid criticism.

>doing it wrong
???
>click the same shit over and over
Where in the video did I do this, besides to make the circles by drawing them.

You can make macros very easil;y with gimp-fu and key binding.

>I don't know how to use 95% of the tools
Ditto. The true sign of a Gimp user.

No professional will ever use Gimp, ever.

They don't listen to artists, Adobe does, and so do the Affinity guys for that matter. Blender Foundation also listen to 3D artists, which is why it's become such a great software in the last 6-7 years.

Go on /3/ and you'll see this exact same post made about Blender. Wretched board.

You cannot adjust the stoke width or make the stroke dotted once it's been applied. Also, resizing it any larger will cause pixelation. It's a terrible alternative to a proper shape tool.

Fuck off back to biz stinky linky. Still 1k eoy r..right?

>* rasterisation intensifies *
PaintDOTnet is better than this shit.

keep crying for gimp users

The reason Gimp is looked down upon is that it wants users to adopt to its way of working. Gimp is made by programmers for other programmers. Artists and other content creators don't seem to be a part of the Gimp community and it seems like Gimp is fine with that.

You cheated not only the game, but yourself. You didn't grow. You didn't improve. You took a shortcut and gained nothing. You experienced a hollow victory. Nothing was risked and nothing was gained. It's sad you don't know the difference.

... & finally updated after 6 years!

Version 2 is comfy.

I hope Gimp devs start listening to AUtists ... I mean artists.

So the issue is manly with UI, not functionality?

UI and features, like applying non destructive filters, vector shapes instead of raster ones, masks
Gimp could be a really powerful tool if they wanted it to be but it doesn't seem like the developers want to reach a broader audience. I could be wrong about this, it could also be that they want to but lack the resources and expertise to do so

If gimp is so shitty, why does it scare adobe so much they need to sponsor this tread here every single day?

It's very good considering it's free. I use it all the time.

cranky because you cant crack adobe on linux

Everyone knows what sage is, stop pretending like knowing that makes you any better than the rest of us degenerates.

It's fine for my use case, shitposting.

As soon as you drag one of the nodes on the live image, it becomes the new "custom" gradient. The custom gradient can be further edited by moving the nodes, or by using the zoomable edit gradient tool. Duplicate and rename the custom ones you want to save.

Honestly that's laughable when krita exist.

Gimp should just curl up and go now. Its outclassed in it's own foss space.

But you can.

>It's for drawing, not general image editing.

Krita ia for drawing AND image editing.
It has most of the powerful features PS has.
It has blending options like photoshop does.
It has liquify and all sorts of editing.
It's transform too is actually good.
And it loads faster than gimp.

Krita is better than GIMP at everything.

Krita is great, mostly for all the brush presets, but I don't use it much because I don't have much digital painting talent.
You can improve gimp's painting capability a bit by adding the brush presets available in windows>dockable dialogs>tool presets. You will also find mypaint brushes there, if available, as well.
Still won't be as good for painting as krita, tho. But if you think krita is a better option than gimp for editing photos, you obviously don't know much about either program.

I'm willing to wager that 99.9% of the GIMP hate comes from Adobe shills.

Krita does what GIMP does, but better.

Honestly it's a ps competitor at this point.

Name something you think krita cant do.

why do you think cracks are even possible?

>And the absolute best thing is that you can get it for free.
That's not at all what's best about that sort of software you AAASSSSSSS

I think they're also the guys telling people krita is the best foss photo editor. Anything to steer you away from gimp.

>bruh

Except it doesn't and they're for different things, even being outright advertised as so.

...Not that I'm saying Krita is bad. It's great, but it's it doesn't do image editing like Gimp. If you'd have used Gimp and Krita in the past, you'd realize this.

name something Gimp can't do.

Gimp is in no way competing with Adobe for any market. Affinity is, Sketch is... but GIMP?

gimp resynthesizer plugin.

I mostly do colot correction, hue, white balance, levels, that kind of shit. Can Kryta do that adequately?

Can I make dumb memes in Krita? I never tried it before, but I got good at it in GIMP.

>gimp resynthesizer plugin
G'mick works in krita and it has a similar feature.
Yes ofcourse.
Krita has HSV adjustments, curves, color ballance, and so on, also it has BLENDING OPTIONS
>you can create a purple overlay layer and blend it only with certain range of values
And it also comes with G'mick so all of those features are available.

Its better at that.

The text editing tool is just as shit as in GIMP, but you dont have to play stupid games with growing/shrinking selection, you can just stroke the layer just like in photoshop.

Damn I guess I should give it a try then.

gmic works in gimp too but doesn't resyn as good, and if you want to get started with plugins and addons, krita ain't gonna win that fight.
krita is for painting. gimp is for image manipulation.

Seriously guys you're taking Krita ligthly.

Yes it is marketed towards artists (mostly because using PS is like pulling teeth, CSP is shit, Corel is dead, the rest is trash and nothing on linux) but its a powerful fucking editor. It can do plenty.
They probably don't bother with marketing to photographers because they know they are starbucks chigging apple faggots sucking Adobe dick, thinkg it's an industry and has standards.

But Krita is a lot more than you think, it's powerful.
Hell, its the first image editor with HDR features.

pixls.us/software/

Plugins are a third party.
I think Krita would get a lot more support from them if people dropped that idea.
Krita is not limited to painting, it's for painting, animation, textures and 3d stuff, integrates with Blender and whatever the fuck you use it for.
