minus-squarePussydogger@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up15arrow-down2·1 year agoHard to compare. The two apps just have a different workflow…
minus-squareMrMamiya@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up23arrow-down1·1 year agoWell yeah I was answering for me though, not the whole internet. Gimp has a work flow that I can’t get into, photoshop clicks better. For you, it could be the opposite and that’s great. I’m not selling photoshop, I don’t even use either anymore. It would be stupid not to try to make gimp work for you first.
minus-squarePussydogger@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4arrow-down1·1 year agoDepends if you learn gimp or PS first. Like if you start life with Linux, windows seems weird
minus-squareSalix@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoIdk, I learned GIMP first for years, and kept being annoying how unintuitive it was. Then I tried Photoshop on a friend’s computer for a week, and found how much easier it was to use. I don’t use Photoshop though since I use Linux
minus-squaremiss_brainfart@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 year agoThey aim to introduce that in version 3.0, which they say will be a complete overhaul of the app. Non-destructive editing through live adjustment layers is definitely the single most useful feature any editing software can have. That alone makes life so much easier.
minus-squareazertyfun@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI remember people saying “3.0 is right around the corner” several years ago. I categorize GIMP 3.0 the same as ASOIAF, Star Citizen, and the Google Drive client for Linux. I’ll be pleasantly surprised if I see it, but I ain’t holding my breath.
minus-squaremiss_brainfart@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 year agoI imagine by the time it releases I’ll have bought Affinity v3 already
minus-squarejhn@xffxe4.lollinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoWell yeah, that’s the whole point. It’s harder to learn another workflow when you’re already in the mindset of the other.
